for real?
i'll answer this for me and you can take whatever you want from it. i consider myself a player after throwing many years and thousands of hours into this game. i dont currently play because the game is in a somewhat shitty state atm imo.
staff has throw the "end game content" under the bus in favor of mobile (for the money) and are currently pushing new content. new regions new whatever instead of giving players something to do once they finished. this is because they have resigned themself to loosing a lot of players once they are done with the story line and figure the ones who are still here will wait forever. rather then trying to make a game that will keep people playing they are forever looking for new markets on multiple platforms and phones and foreign country's.
the "lets not have bans guys" and other idiocracy is just icing on the cake.
that being said after such a long time playing and meeting so many people through this game it will be very hard for anyone to just give up and quit and never look back. the hope "it will get good or at least better" will be there for a long long time since this is forever in development. hell as it is for a sit down and play through and then quit, its better then the handhelds in many ways, just not something i would want to play everyday forever.
and players such as me who know everyone in this thread to one degree or another might come back just for the people if nothing else. couple people in this thread i would love to have over and cook dinner for and go fishing with or go to the zoo or whatever normies do these days.
