For as many players that don't pay into the game any more there are those moronic whales who don't care about wasting money that sort of ruin it for everyone. I have no intention of ever paying for anything in this game again, but even though there are a lot of players who share my feelings on that issue, the rich idiots will do w/e.

That being said, many of the wealthy players have already quit and sold their accounts. So...who knows...
