This is one of the reasons I don't like the rando rage.

My argument against orange status is that it causes people to log on less often. If I look at the parser and there are like three people in the meetup, I won't log on. It's often the case that the meetup is a lot larger than it looks on the parser because half of you fucks are orange these days.
If the meetup is full of randos, that won't stop me from logging in because I won't see that on the parser. If the meetup looks tiny because the majority of the people there are orange, I won't log in because it's boring sitting in a tiny meetup.

I don't understand the seething about randos. If a lot of randos get into the meetup, just drop a new portal and go there. It's amazing to me that people want to sit on the same map for six hours and then complain and seethe because someone they don't know showed up.
