Romz, you just agreed with a person that said he doesn't care, therefore you don't care either. Why would someone value the opinion of someone who doesn't care, wants the realm closed, is breaking forum rules and is verbally voicing his negativeness towards ex-AT/Molten players, over the ones that are trying to help even if their ideas are bad.
Instead of replying to everyone telling them how much their ideas suck, try giving yours if you think they're so good. But you've already done that, numerously in every single thread in this section of the forum. Arguments like X core sucks, because I was treated there badly/or the players there suck, are invalid due to the fact that there is no longer AT, nor Molten - we are all playing on the same server. No one cares whether you played on old Warsong or AT.
Now I'm going to say what I think although it's probably too late for a change, and don't bash me for it, because I haven't been rude to anyone so far.
AT had a good core and a somewhat toxic community. The reason it had low population was because unless you had a friend there, it was nearly impossible to find a partner that will not bash you.
Warsong had a bad core and a somewhat friendly community. The reason it had bigger population was because finding a partner was extreemly easy. Now because the community is more friendly, becoming a friend with partners you found was very likely - thus giving you a reason to come back and play.
Do you get it? You might not believe it, but it's the community that increases the population in PvP-only servers.
Now, I'm talking from experience playing here over the past months - and I can say that the bigger part of the people that play on the realm are friendly(I've always been able to find a partner for cap,fun or serious arenas.)
So I don't see what's the problem with having some features from AT implemented here. Do you really not want to have a reason for logging in the realm? Do you really not want to unlock a mount or a transmog or any reward after achieving a certain rating, farming honor or having x kills?
The reason people are leaving is because it's boring, there's nothing to do unless it's a season end or you're capping a new character.
