I'm glad you said this. I think part of what separates the playerbase of red from blue is this powergamer type mentality of "I've done this rodeo before I'm here to get 60 ASAP," whereas on blue you have a lot of people returning to experience the "journey". Because this is a classic server with limited content there's not enough content to satiate people on red and people burn out.
