It doesn't matter how loudly one side or the other calls for removing the other, CCP is going to ignore that. CCP will watch subs and unsubs, and make game changes necessary to keep as many (of each type of player) playing, and paying.
Most MMO players don't stick with a game just to make gold. If new content isn't being added, they won't stick with it. The sandbox model simply does not appeal to most of those types of players, carebear or otherwise. The game's own "content" is repetitive and boring; UGC has kept this game afloat since 2003.

And since you didn't publish elsewhere and have your article syndicated, people must read it on that site, driving up page views, putting other articles in front of curious eyes, ensuring that the rest of the message gets received.
See, propaganda can work even without the assistance of the writers.
wow you have some nice insights on our editorial process don't you

For those who are unaware, here is what I am talking about: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VbYNLmtAMAw&playnext=1&list=PL8D0C03D958222921&feature=results_videoChange the name of the website to something else, preferably unbias and I will visit it. Of course I am sure most of you will laugh at me not visiting, but there are tons of people who do not venture to a website named after a cyber bully. Deal with it.
yes thank you for setting everyone's moral compass straight, you who have never done anything bad to anyone anywhere

The name of the site is just a brand. It's not much different from Kugutsumen, which is named after an alias of the owner. Neither site attempts to carry any air of a cult of personality - TM.com's masthead doesn't have Mittens' Dr. Strangelove avatar, but rather a silhouette of a 1930s reporter; K.com simply has a drooling octopus carrying a 2x4 and a spaceship.
If you're worried about how visiting the site somehow indicates approval of his "actions" (he said something dumb on camera, how terrible) then don't visit it. We'll sorely be at a loss for your patronage, I assure you.
