Well people adapted to dead servers making alts and some others adapted leaving said servers. To be honest "adapt" is such a loose term you c*e however you like, I doubt the person who said that had to adapt to anything since they are likely among the many who did their tools back when the bug was active.

Simply said, they have a scrip to follow and be it gold stats or Cross-server Sage you will have to adapt to follow it or complain a lot, but that won't change anything.
