No what they're saying is that you couldn't walk into Drozana for longer then five minutes without having a ton of whispers sent your way asking you for various types of favors. You couldn't walk in, and just enjoy the atmosphere without hearing two 40 year old men playing female toons having sex in the corner. You couldn't walk in do almost anything without seeing some idiot with a fire extinguisher, a EVA suit, and a party popper jumping around.
The players did that to themselves, and those of us that wanted to just go there and hang out, RP or not, you couldn't without getting roped into that crowd. Like me showing up on Drozana to hit the Lobi store and the bank was somehow me begging for cyber-sex and trolling.
So the devs destroy Drozana and you think the players just get up and stop doing that? Of course not, they will find new place and do it there, it won't stop. Every MMO has its spots where nasty people hang out together, you keep them there tucked away. The largest impact in STO is Drozana is used frequently by low level players for episodes, but I'm pretty sure they don't get bugged, at least none of my alts did.
Now anyone whos been to Hassan's bar on Nimbus knows that the devs can make an awesome bar, of course its episode/instanced only and not functional, but it could easily be pasted to another area and made social, but it won't be. They even have male dancers on the tables.
The bar in Paradise on Nimbus is terribly small.
The obnoxious players are what made Drozana what it was...a dive bar. I loathe the stupidity of party-poppers and fire extinguishers as much as anyone, and still I thought that Drozana was fine. I cannot see the value-add of the remade social space. It is my opinion that it was a waste of time and effort for what purpose it serves.

I too wonder what the ROI motivation (return on investment) of Cryptic was at play here .
The current Drozana serves as a mission front as well , as we can see it's 23rd century version of the bar as well .
Now that's sort of gone but not really (the 23rd century version is still there...) , so what was the reason ?
Was it's "dive bar" status too public ?
All of which can be FREQUENTLY found on ESD. And all of which result in having to turn Zone Chat off whenever it is necessary to visit ESD.
oh lord. I never even have zone chat in a Tab.
Its not as bad now but for a long time I avoided ESD unless some Q mission forced me down there. I would use the Acadamy anyway since all the services were grouped. ESD was were you would find noobs and RPers and nerds.
I honestly have no clue what was bugging these people about Drozana. The only thing that ever bugged me there Holo Leta.

yeah, the hub was okay tho. i like the new one, but i liked the old one aswell..
the only thing that really bugged me, were the maps of the missions in there, with BOs getting stuck half way downstairs on the way to the little bossfight and stuff like that.
