Classic has 15,000+ active monthly users, so I don't think you can speak for them.

A lot of people don't care about the competitive aspect of the game and enjoy things like these, hundreds of people already sit in the school all day and do nothing but roleplay.

I would very much like to see competitive updates like NGS, but there's no sense in putting down every update just because it doesn't cater to you — the non-competitive audience is larger than the competitive one.
