I choose to be happy and enjoy myself when playing a game. If it's no longer fun, regardless of what kinds of ties I have to it, it's easy enough to find another game to play, then tell myself I'll try out the old game in a while to see if I enjoy it again. If not, well, I had a good run. lol. No hard feelings to the staff of that game if it isn't a game for me anymore, though. Even if I paid a lot of money into that game, I got my money's worth out of the game in entertainment value. Everyone takes everything in PL so seriously.

When STS offered that helm for anyone who could hit 76 in the first few days as one of the new classes, it would've gotten the message across that that isn't what the players want, if nobody would have done it. Several did manage to cap in that time, and seeing as how some are willing to go "that far" for a vanity helm, I'd say STS is just going off of what they observe of us. You want the game to be less money-driven? Don't drive it with your money :P
