And UMI has stated this before. I'm paraphrasing:

CF is a hobby for the IMMs enjoyment. If non-IMMs logon and enjoy it to, fine. But that's just icing on the cake and we can live without it.

If that's the majority view of the IMMs or of the IMMs that can make significant changes, it would be a good idea just to say so plainly and avoid all of the back and forth with the playerbase who are trying to participate in saving CF.
