Is Seal Clubbing Really A (bad) Thing?

TeriyakiTanker:  World of Warcraft started with waaaaayyyyyy more players than this game did and has still lost a large chunk of its player base.  At its height has 12 million players and now it is less than half of that from what I understand. The best part of this thread is that after 11 frothing pages of anger no one has defined what a seal or seal clubbing is.  Sort of hard to have a conversation when no one can really figure out exactly what anyone else is talking about.
