this is why. (Sorry to use you as an example MeteorSummoner) how many people are like her and come to SP just because/for the extractions? that you can go anywhere else for the discussions about MS is why we need the extractions, because whether or not theyre a better discussion to be had, theres other places to get opinions from than this forum. SP, to the best of my knowledge, offers the more in-depth analysis of patch data and information about changes in the game from said extractions. its what drew and continues to draw people into the site. whether or not they join and stick around for the rest of the forum isnt whats important, its that SP can draw in an audience and continues to do so is what makes them the main draw to the site, and its very core.

This is exactly right, I know that myself and a lot of other people I talk to really only look here for the extractions and slightly-more-intelligent-than-Basil discussion about what's in the new patches. I rarely ever post here, or anywhere else for that matter because other people have already covered most of what I'd want to ask or look for. I mean, if I want wild speculation and stupidity I'll go to Basil instead. Sure, the other sections are nice but you can find a spam forum anywhere, and bug reports are posted on most forums related to MS so long as someone notices them. But, this site is synonymous with extractions now, and to change that without changing the name and everything else would be terrible in terms of traffic and ad revenue. :|
