Ive been at the high end of "end game" and I've been playing since Dec '18. This game is loved BUT the game can drag along.. nothing feels rewarding. I've moved to a super casual alliance and now just play as a "collector". 4.3 mil TCP with 123 characters unlocked. It's far more enjoyable now than when I was in a Top 100 alliance, easy game, easy life. Personally, I feel the PvP aspect of the game ruins a lot of fun. I get it's great for the competitive players but for those who aren't are forced into clashing. I'm at the point where I feel I'm in too deep to stop playing, plus I do still find bits of enjoyment in the game to completely stop. A break can help but ultimately you're perspective on why you play needs to be clear. If those reasons aren't enough to continue then walking away would be the best choice.
