Is the game losing players rapidly?

[Lunalepsy]

Week 3 of savage and I noticed that there are not many public savage parties anymore? It's like everyone is tired of repeating the same crap all over again? Is there any other end game options combat wise? Are they going to implement another new tome to make us run old content again as end game?

No? The game is normalizing. Also, once sales resume, we will have an influx of new players.

Unless a game has various zanny content forms in which for one to compete against other groups within one's interest-niche... this just happens. Once the story is done, prog is done... "See you next tier."

It’s not dying, just literally & passively declining which is normal after every expansion.

At 569 it’s basically just pretty much the end-game casual aspects & its totally optional if you want to aim higher by partaking in savages be it for ilevel gear or glamour.

All in all its pretty stagnant where we at & just pretty much crafting, socializing, savage, or getting everything to 90. It will stay stale until we hear for the next announcement to entice us all with excitement once more.

Its best to take the game slow & steady to enjoy & delight on it. Unless you wish to push content fast & get into savages & pray at the end you won’t burnt our or feel empty-void due to lack of satisfaction.

After all, its natural & go at your pace

IDK chief. My queues are still pretty horrible.

People subscribe for a month after a patch and then go and play something else. A lot of people subscribe for the expansion and then leave for 2 years. Sales were paused as well which will contribute to "losing players". I haven't seen a reduction though.

True for a patch but for an expansion release? That's a bit different

I have finished the storyline but continue to play. In the hopes that I might win the housing lottery and obtain a house, I am furiously grinding out Gil. For most players, though, housing probably has little interest so they are likely taking a break after burning through the content. I have noticed ques have become much shorter, even during prime time.

Yeah, there's a lot of people waiting to play still. It sucks that SE decided to halt sales of the game, but at least they were honest about it. Hopefully this will lead to a bigger rise in sales since it is probably in a bit higher demand at the moment for those wanting to play the game for the first time but can't.

Savage never have been useful besides getting the same gear that you get with tomes but now dyable and +10-15 item level.

SE its actually afraid of trying new things.

The devs should cancel all the updates they had planned now since blizzard are saved and the wow players bout to go home and leave us with empty servers again. Save money too. Pretty sure after the announcement a lot of wow players already took first chance to return.

A lot of people don't do Savage and Extremes. They play the other content. You know there's Triple Triad, Housing, Gold Saucer, a few thousand hours worth of side quests, crafting etc? I know people who's endgame is playing Triple Triad for hours on end, others who just fish endlessly, and people who are constantly decorating their house or apartment. Savage and Extreme players are actually in the minority.
