Honestly, I tend to wonder the reverse of what you think. Rather than worrying about people bitching, I'd feel it'd just be easier to get rid of a few nuisance players.

To respond to Turing myself...I see characters like this, and I see a character that I'm glad we had around. I didn't get much direct out of him, but I can't think of anything ill said about him. Honestly, his PBF looks like most solid leader characters. They start getting rewards for being awesome for 2-300 hours, then stick around another 3-400 more. Only this char had an Imm playing, so now people throw a fit. Would you rather NOT have Twist characters around? I sure as hell wouldn't.

Agreed. We <3 Twist.
