Players were anticipating alot of fun stuffs from the Gold Saucer while we wait for the expansion but we only got rng from it. No roller coaster shooter, no snowboarding, no skills game.

I agree that some rng are needed, but when it come that 100% of an update is rng, you cant expect players to stick around when you know it will be nerfed. Saving you a ton of boringness and annoyance.
I want to say that you're right, but I can't. The main reason is because you're implying the Gold Saucer was intended to keep people around. In other words, that it was to be the sole reason people would be on the game. I was anticipating it since they announced it in 2013, but even I wasn't deluded enough to think that everyone should/would stay around for it for weeks without end. The Gold Saucer was never intended to remove your presence from the rest of the game. Speaking from a psychological point of view, there is no way in hell that the general player base would ever do just one type of content without hopping to others (which is primarily what's happening). Furthermore... there was the log-in campaign thing for 2 weeks. That's PROBABLY a huge reason you don't see as many people, just saying.
