True enough, Barack. This is something that's happened before and will happen again and I was just about to address it. Great timing!
I think if you look around you at your guild mates, I hope you'll see that CTT is full of quality people. Since I do most of the recruiting, I have made and will make lots of mistakes. Not to say that anyone is worthless, but some former members have not been a good fit- and I'm sorry.
When the first big wave of poaching, I quickly came to realize it was a good thing overall. The people who leave for profit are not, ultimately, people who will appreciate what we have to offer. In the balance, they are the takers. Before, as it shall be now, it helped me to clarify the people who I want to spend my time with. Because, truth be told, a lot of people didn't take the deal. A lot of people stayed in Click to Talk and that says something to me about who those people are and what they value.
We've lost some people recently for other reasons. Some due to poor choices I have made. Others due to other reasons (best to you coke!) This is not ideal- I want us to be big enough so y'all have someone to play with whenever you choose to play- but in the end, quality must win.
