That totally proves that the game is in a very healthy state and that no one is leaving at all I am sure.
Had you forgotten that Yoshi recommended people take breaks then come back?

Im not playing much today, Im getting ready to fight off zombies in 7 days to Die, playing Skyrim, reading, listening to Adagio for Strings in G followed by the Magic Flute....we are in a patch lull and people go off to do other things then come back. Been this way for years.

I dont see an issue here.
