There's much more to it than that. The players decide to leave because they decide to leave. But you can't say every single player left because of management. Admittedly, there's no reason to play the blame game, because for many players there's nobody to blame for their reasoning to leave. This has been gradual for years, as it is with most games, and you can't take current problems and use it as why people of the past decided to leave. Although management, updates, or lack thereof may be part of the reason, it's also just the fact that the game runs the way it does, by volunteers who (therefore) won't have consistent quality sometimes, which is when trial and error runs its course. That's not a bad thing, but is viewed as such because it delays the current updates for better future updates. Because there's no way to truly ever know why everybody would leave, it's unfair to blame it all on management.

All online games, with a long period of time, will lose players. The main players from the game's golden days are gone.
most of the problems in era is caused by the management. sometimes i ask myself if they even listen to players feedbacks. most of the people that quitted is due to the reasons that got discussed in this thread.
