Sorry Shade, I am a person with an identity and an opinion, not a lightswitch you can turn on and off as you like. If you're saying you'll ban me for expressing my opinion when I'm not breaking any rules doing that, then I think you're giving everyone a pretty clear picture of what's allowed on this shard; compliance with the 2 people who decide the direction of this shard or silence.
As for me no longer being staff, before you make assumptions fill yourself in. I'm no longer staff because I flamed with my mortal account on the forums about being killed by a staff for no reason. Taran said I should have gone directly to him about this instead of posting on the forums and giving the shard a negative look. THAT'S the reason I'm no longer staff. Not for whatever reason you somehow got in your heard. If you really want to look over it, here's the thread.
As for skill difficulty vs the pvp being the cause for losing players, they both contributed. The XUO side of the shard doesn't like the hard skillgain, and the IN side of the shard doesn't like the pvp. If the shard is a 50/50 split (just for arguments sake) and half the IN players don't like the pvp and quit over it, and half the XUO players don't like the skillgain and quit over it, you've lost an equal amount of players for both reasons and now the shard is half the size it was. Nobody can say the pvp is not a deterrent because an equal amount of people left because of it as they did the bad skillgain.
