In short, FF is currently a game almost entirely for elititists and clanners and as long as that doesn't change, a lot of people will refrain from trying or sticking to it. It is also one of the reasons why TF2 is so popular.

That's how I see it, anyway
Bingo. Aspies and manchildren have taken over what is a great game and made it into their personal clubhouse where the jocks/blacks/mom and dad can't hurt them. The game needs to be taken back from them, but they infest every part of the community, from pubbing to how the game works. It doesn't help that most people have a negative view of FF because of the TF2's comments about grenades.

In order to get new players, we need to take out the problem-creators, then start to advertise. If the aspies are still in the game when we start to advertise, then we'll be fucked because they'll run them off with their whining about shit like "O VS D ONLY" and "NO HWS ON O" when players don't know about any of their rules.
