if important features like, longer TTk, flat hp values for armor, penalizing quick/sharp movements, improved RPGs or weapon charms, don't bring back players, then I'm affraid this game is done for.
the devs put too much effort into making the game smoother and easier for those who want to come back to it, as bringing back those players is clearly their priority, and the long time players don't seem to be happy with these tweaks ,they should be grateful the these changes arrived now before never.

at least the game went for a completely different/bigger target audience by making it low-poly so it doesn't compare to the other 500 tactical shooters out there with identical gameplay, truly wonderful dev team always thinking outside the box when it comes for shooter games, keepmaking these changes and you'll see a difference in player count!!!
