Ohh yeah, sure that these are the causes of the server being empty, of course the gangs 4 vs 1 and the stats nerds rapping new players don't have anything to do, right?
And of course LW got easier, that's the progress in everything!!! calculators make maths easier, computers make all the administrative and office works much easier, digital cameras make it easier to take and edit hundreds of photos, modern medical equipment make things easier for medics and patients, agricultural machinery make the farmer's work easier, etc.
When something is very difficult, you are less productive because you have to focus all your efforts in only that specific task, whereas if things are easier you can be more productive because you can spread your efforts in other things at the same time.
