This is all hot air.
Erm.. No. Character count is falling on FEI as Bofeng gave in his stats.
Players quitting can't be summarized to protests or the like.
It can when that's what they
say they're doing.
SOMETHING had to be done. Wrongly or rightly this is what was chosen. We should all work to make the game better rather than bicker over actions we cannot change.
This is also true, but people have a right to say when they don't believe this course of action is helping. It doesn't mean that they're not working to make the game better through their characters. It just means they hold a different opinion to the Devs.
