Is the community wrong?

I guess I'm confused as to why the sub numbers would be at an all time high if people were actively unhappy with the state of the game and its direction.

I don't think this is all that surprising.

1) The people posting on the forums will, unsurprisingly, be those with things to say. The people happily playing the game have little reason to post. Those here to complain, brash as some may be, tend to complain from a place of love. If you don't care about something, you generally won't bother to post complaints, you'll just leave. People want to stay, and because of that, they want certain things to improve.

2) MMOs will always have a natural resistance toward causing people to quit altogether. It's easy to stop playing a game because you're upset about something, but it's much more difficult to up and leave all your friends behind if they don't share the same sentiment. I assure you, I would definitely not still be here if it weren't for the (admittedly few) people I actually play with.

3) There's a lot of people still enjoying the process of leveling and other non-Eureka content. Even the people complaining may have other stuff that interests them. As someone at cap, it irks me that a majority of my FC is still in the process of leveling or gearing to endgame levels, but it does explain a lot about why they're still invested in the game.


I think Eureka is trash content. Yes, I'm still subbed, and yes I'm still participating in Eureka anyway. I am, however, not putting as many hours into the game as I would if Eureka was actually interesting/fun.
