This, and sadly anyone who will even speak of it will get banned, it has made many leave.
Incorrect on both counts. Whether you love, loathe or are indifferent, the 12 hr side switch limitation was a decision made by HTC. It's their sandbox. A few players went toe to toe with Hitech and Skuzzy on the BB and despite multiple warnings, continued to rub HTC's nose in
IT. They fell on their swords (for whatever reason) and were PNG'd. I'm not aware of anyone, banned from the game over the matter.
As for "it has made many leave", I grant you some have left due to
this issue. They chose to vote with their wallets, which is their prerogative.
Many? Hardly.
