The quiting threads, Its the same with alot of games if someone is not getting there own way, stuff they want or feel should be theres, or just dont like the fact they suck but cant hold there hands up and say it, They throw in the old "im quiting" thread to try and get the community and ultimately the powers that be to do things "there way" because they think if they do that it will scare whoever into going there way.
Its like the old line if you dont get what you want in a shop. "im never shopping in here again". It's the final cry of a desperate person
The gang wars: think alot of the newer player's were not around with the old pvp so when someone attacks them its a bit of a shock. Were the older players remember what it was like to spend ages in a ward and having someone watching you and chasing you
