A from last month cataloged user PerformanceOk9933's confusion upon seeing a disproportionately huge number of players on Seyshel Beach. They asked: "Am I missing something? We have major orders." As Commenter Hollow5999 in response, "It's home of the Halo divers... they will not suffer the fall of Reach a second time."

Doesn't sound like a day off work to me.
