This feels like another example of the developers being largely out-of-touch with the NA/EU playerbase, where most of the population expansion has been focused.
I either stop this game due to burn out or having nothing (enjoyable) to do. Things like the Bozja relic grind - where they stretch out what little content there is to an exhausting amount. Even the casual content is taking a hit. Often times, I don't actually want to stop playing the game, but there really is just nothing to do. Right now, if I had things I actually wanted to do in the game, I'd still be playing it. I am not currently burned out, but I have been playing other things for about a month. Yeah, I know Yoshida has said to take breaks, but this is a problem in their game design.
