I believe that even though some of us don't like the direction it is going and might leave...SE stands to gain more people rather than lose by making the MMO easier and more accessible. They are a business and business seems to be going good for them right now. I don't really blame them making the choices they have been even though we have been quite vocal we don't like it on here. We are the minority of the community at large.

Lose 10,000 regulars as opposed to gaining 50,000 people starting fresh? That's a good trade. I'd make that trade. Even if half of the new crowd quits in as early as a single month...that's still 50,000 new games sold at what...$60 a person? Also after that you still retained half which is more than double what was lost. Game just might not be for me anymore. I do wanna see what 7.0 offers. It might rekindle my interest or not but that remains to be seen.
