We were promised long ago Neutrals would NEVER come anywhere close to Sides. That sides would ALWAYS be the "chosen and Faithful" in terms of RP, PvP and content.
Sadly, since Neutrals have been given the post TL2 treatment that followed, all of those things, RP/Storyline, PvP encounters and Sided Content, have fallen all but to the way side serving only to produce a hollow shell of the game that once was. You can see it in almost every post in these forums from non trolls who come here out of frustration the first time only to be met with sarcasm and cynicism in kind. I am no angel. I make mistakes, post things sometimes I regret later. But I will NEVER regret my stance on this topic regarding Neutrals. I've played this damn game way to long to feel sorry for people who stayed Neutral and beg more and more for sided content for themselves when those who did pick a side rarely see any themselves.
