Yes, a person receives assistance for the game but it's not the goal of a wiki. It's unity as a group, communication as a group, not hiding in exclusion and cliques of in-game friends not including others who aren't the same in-game friends. That's the division apparently happening. It's what is making it appear as a "us or them" environment. All activities are on "walls", friend code exchange board, or spectacular achievement threads. Very little discussion about the game it's about what can I receive for the game. That has been my observation. If it's compared to the past activity here it's quite obvious. No community discussion of "fun" topics on the forum of mindless chatter which is where the whole community can join without a feeling of being an intrusion on someone's "wall". It's a subdivision of walls within a larger community with no inclusion unless with one's own in-game friends. I'm in no way an expert but I do have an opinion and perspective and that's what I've observed since I registered. Not to offend anyone just a honest perspective on my part.

I have noticed the same. I tried in some small way to bring back some of it. Then I made the mistake of speaking out, all be it in an effort to help, and now feel as if that put a target on me and in my head feel as though I am not wanted here. Worse still, I called out a member of the perceived in crowd for bad behavior. Granted, it was deserved as it was repeated behavior I had seen from them twice before and I am tired of the bullying. My need to stand against injustice took over. So now I feel like I lost some of my neutrality. Also a lot of that is my own emotion I wrestle with, so I stay but only comment sparsely. School is back in session so I do not have as much time as before, but I am using it as an excuse not to participate as much too. I could do more. I will try. I miss the days that the forum was thriving. It was only a year ago when every page of the forum had all fresh dated posts. Now some go back weeks. It is sad. It has not helped that so many retreated and/or left. I would like to see them come back. I also would like a kudos button for the wall!
