Not to start a bitch fest, but it does seem as though the devs/verteran staff members may have lost some enthusiasm for Asylum and they are just sticking along for the ride. A bit like some higher ups do in the APD, where they will get their activities in but never be active.
I would agree in the fact that in some places higher ups and some staff will not be the right people in charge.
This obviously leads into a negative impact with everything else as they are the main ones who call the shots.
