I quit a few months ago (going back? not sure yet), and it was a pretty laid-back affair. I think what you're seeing is that loud people are loud and laid-back people are laid-back. What I mean is, it's hard to measure people who quit quietly, since they don't make a big production when they leave.

It would be like if you listen to the police scanner and determine that everyone is a crook. You only hear about crooks on the police scanner because the police don't make a fuss about law-abiding citizens.

(the latter example is a generalization, don't jump all over the details and miss the point of the example)

My thought exactly. I'd wager the vast majority of people who quit MMOs do so quietly, but you don't notice them *because* they don't make a hate-filled forum post or go out in a blaze of drama; they just quietly quit and move on.
