Message: [QUOTE="trickybus, post: 353245, member: 239542"] My theory is that the folks who complain the loudest about user-base drops are "problem" players. In games with small, tight-knit communities, being an asswagon is going to get a player booted and shunned because word-of-mouth will spread quickly about that player's bad behavior. I say this because I used to play a small-time MMORPG long ago that required players to manually create groups and travel to dungeons. There was no raid-finder like in WoW. If a player pissed off enough people, they would be forced to switch servers because hardly anyone would play with them in the current server. On the other hand, a game with a large player-base makes it much easier to hide that kind of behavior. Repeat offenders can keep misbehaving because it doesn't directly affect their ability to play.
