Wow, what an adult response.
People are saying they'll leave because you're changing the way the game has worked for almost twenty years is different than someone saying they're going to leave because you're not going to bend the rules for them.
It's not like you have lots of new customers waiting to jump on board when you release new stuff, you're angering customers that have been playing the game for decades just by mentioning stuff like this. We spend years writing scripts and perfecting routines to train our characters based on the way the game is designed. I'd think twice about that.
