I do agree that this is one of our largest problems, we simply do not have enough players that are actually dedicated to the style of play, and can maintain reputation with the community. We all know how tightly knit we are, and when the drama flies, one side ends up getting ousted for a time, or longer.
Events like nightfall are working hard to introduce new players and long time skirmishers to the concept of milsim, but it will still be a long and slowly traversed road. It is a trip that I am looking forward to though, especially our east where we have only had a big boom in players over the past couple of years.
We have a LOT of new players and venues popping up everywhere and the senior players that have attended a number of the well run milsims in Ontario are banding together to start hosting 'milsim lite' type games to bring the new players a milsim experience that they can handle without feeling like they are being left behind.
