u are right about things u discribed, it's a problem, but measures u've offered won't solve it; this reminds me circle, servers shut down in 2 months cause people don't trust that they'll exist longer and the reason of distrust is experience of previous servers ending in this way. Don't completely understand why such attitude appeared here and in many other online games and how to reverse it. U probably made right choice stopping playing l2 couple years ago; if u're still seeking these feelings of competing to other people, that u get here and cant find proper alternative to get them, better pick another game with adult contingent.
