Judging by my own outfit experience, most veteran players quit because the game gets stale to them at some point and/or they get burned out with it. You will often see many of them return from time to time though to check the changes.

Judging by the forums, most newer players quit because they have a hard time getting the hang of it and find themselves getting killed over and over again. Most of them never got to joining an outfit.

Those seem to be the same reasons as mentioned in the OP, except without the explanation of the underlying cause.
