Gonna sound harsh but it always seems like veteran players heavily overestimate their own worth to the game lol. Aren’t there 10 new players who are going to be subbed for at least several months to finish storyline, for every 1 veteran that leaves from sheer boredom?

The game gets like this every expansion cycle lol, hell even in the later ARR patches the amount of players dropped off pretty heavily.

It doesn’t really matter how hard one tries with the ‘speak with your wallet’ tactic, it’s sadly guaranteed to fail because for every wallet they lose they’re gaining another 10. Then when those 10 wallets inevitably all quit there’ll be another 10 just starting the game, and the wheel keeps spinning.
