It's a dying game, so it really doesn't matter.
Especially for the woe guilds, they all know they don't plan on sticking around forever, and will either go back to playing league or migrate to another woe server if the competition dies down.
People would rather play with 1500+ ppl for few months to a year, rather than stick around in servers with much less population, only cos it's there "forever," but then what's the point if there's no competition for mvp/pvp/woe. lol (im sure those that enjoy solo play or low pop servers aren't playing on ggro anyway)
A lot of people know that cookie was corrupt anyway, and he could be still, but they give 0 fucks cos they just wanna woe against each other in a dying game =P
