I'm not your target audience considering that I disapprove of the way Ilium's common people have reacted. It's not that I don't understand but this behaviour will not lead them to any great ending. Yes, changes should have been implemented to ease suffering but will they be offered now or will the monarchy react in a way that will promise a harder life? Stricter rules?
And while some many leave Ilium dissatisfied, other regions may be wary of those coming to them. No one wants riots in their region. Sometimes, one has to accept their lot in life.
