You are right, thanks for sharing your thoughts. What happened is that after the update(s) which were so different from what everyone hoped for or expected, that they alienated themselves from a large percentage of the players. I myself am not angry, although I am disappointed. But a lot of people are angry and many have left and I think there has to be just one more hick up and even more will leave.
The Devs have no evil plans for us, as some are suggesting. They are genuinely are trying to make this game better. But I think they should listen more to the players. So many ideas have been given by the players, but so little of them are being picked up by the Devs. That is why many think, why am I sharing my ideas here if they don't do anything with it anyway.
And as I said before, first fix the most prominent issues in the event matchmaking, guild rivalry, mk1s who have to fight mk4s and mk5s, etc. This will keep players in for the long term, when they get a fair battle. Not fancy new things, priority must be a fair game, reasonable prices and a Dev team which listens well. But also as players we must give the Devs the nenefit of the doubt, not start swearing right away/
Battle Bay and the Devs do have the potential to rise above these challenges, but first there must be the will to do so and rebuild the trust between them and the player base, which has now tainted lately. If people think they are being taken seriously, they will be much more positive and tell many others about how great this game is and how good the relationships is with the developers. But the opposite is also true, if they players aren't happy, they will also tell others not to bother or they don't tell about this game at all.
I had a business before I became sick, so I know a little of how these things work. I also sell photographic equipment for charity and have many happy customers(many hundreds). Just because my ground rule is 'treat others the way you wanted to be treated yourself'. (which does not make me perfect, but I am trying to do the best I can)
Just my thoughts!
(can I even give a short answer......sigh)
