Kind of wonder. Do those who shout the loudest from their town square pulpit, warning of this game's end of days. Tend to be less oriented towards joining groups in any game to find their enjoyment?
One then might venture the non-affiliated player will require more external motivation than the player who seeks to play in the company of others. And that will dictate a lower tolerance for loss of potential target numbers and lack of frequent changes to the environment for their .02 an hour or $200.00 a year. The fuse on their patience and expectations is probably shorter, right or wrong in these situations. At which point those with longer patience probably have no sympathy to such short term needs ending in conversations similar to those voters for prop8 in California still suffer today. Kind of like the vitriol those with longer patience suffer in these forums for not seeing that the sky is falling when the pulpit criers ratchet up warnings.
No Mabel, the sky is not falling again. It's the upstairs neighbors tossing things at you because your bull horn is too loud.
