The so much praised "story" is ony a fraction of the game , and i guarantee you that a lot, if not most people who play this game on a daily basis dont care much about that part at all, especialy when the writing is so childish and naive like in Dawntrail.

The game is in decline because there is a complete lack of inovation, they pretty much never rework or update old systems or improve QoL features.
They are just very lucky that there is just no real competition in the MMO sector right now.
