I say it again, the content is not bad, the people are bad, they dont wanna do any content which isnt possible to do with 2 buttons every 5s and that is the main problem of the game, the game was way to good with them in the past
I dunno how you would quantify that past you see people complaining a lot. But if you're right, which I really don't think you are as I have a lot of friends who DO do the harder stuff and aren't playing rn because the current content is boring- if the game is truly turning enough people away because they dont even wanna attempt harder stuff? That is still on the devs. They make the content, it's their job to make people wanna play, and if the ENTIRE low-player base issue rn is just 'nobody wants to actually put in the effort to play the harder content' then the content has to change in someway. Not necessarily make it easier, but make it appealing enough for people to actually want to put in that effort.

But I don't agree with you that this is even the bigger problem. The jobs bave been homogenized, the story is widely hated, and the gameplay we've been given so far has been a mix of more of the same or too convoluted for most people to wanna attempt (chaotic+ FT being the big ones). There are just so many things that suck abt the game right now that the notion of 'players are just bad and don't wanna try' is very obviously not the main issue.
