The player count and everyone I know who has quit say otherwise . My friends list has just under 700 people on it and most of them have gotten salty and quit because of garbage gameplay on most days . Everyone you know is salty because they ' re shitters and they get mad when they lose . Most of the people have quit the game because it ' s been out for over four years and most of that time it ' s run like shit . The game is better now by a long shot than it was when it was really popular . And this is a game , not real life , so what ' s your fucking point ? What is your fucking point ? Are you really so dense that I have to spell out that a game that simulates warfare in some fashion might also share a few obvious tactics with the real thing and that people continue to use tactics that work ? The problem is the players who form these giant zergs are usually giant pussies as well , and they don ' t like fighting equal sized groups . I suggest you research the 5 stages of grief in order to move past the fact that you lost in a video game . You ' re at the anger stage now .
