I have joyfully played this game from launch, and i have to say that this q&a is pretty much the penultimate nail in the coffin for me. I really think this is the last slap before i grab the hand and say no more...I have watched as this company went from superfans with a dream job to jaded money grubbers with eyes on wealthy retirement. I have a great mid level guild and we love the game but the lack of effort and the attitude is taking its toll. I really feel this set of answers reflects a bitterness on the devs part over the failure of GL, as a whole. There is a petulant tone that does not germinate hope for the future of this game. Finally i don't know how much the moderators are paid, but i hope it's a lot... it can't be easy, as a fellow player of this game, to robotically tow the company line. you know, defend the indefensible... it has to be tough.
