Not Tropeworthy: Open Roleplaying Decay

This is AudienceReaction, Not a Trope. Still, I think it should be cut rather than moved to YMMV.

The second paragraph (with two YMMV links):

However, as a general rule, the more open the recruitment and the more specific the concept, the faster it will mutate into something that the original members don't like. Obviously, change is a natural part of anything, but in open roleplaying, it's usually treated negatively. It will usually create a Broken Base, with the purists claiming that the new people are ruining the group. It usually doesn't end too well.

This is found in 11 pages and has brought 739 people to the wiki from non-search engine links. There are no correct, straight uses of this trope.

Just cut it. It isn't thriving, so we wouldn't be losing much.

Cut.

Contains 20% less fat than the leading value brand!

Four votes to cut. I presume everyone else is indifferent.

13-0 in favor of cutting, and in the thread, all posters who voted are in favor of cutting.

Wicks cleaned and page cutlisted. I think we're done.

Crown Description:

Open Roleplaying Decay is not thriving, and is not being used correctly. What should be done with it?
