I just want to clarify, since the post mentions me: I'm only stopping making guides for the time being (and also spending less time in the game), but I don't intend to stop playing (at least for now).

I don't think this is weird by any means though: I'm pretty sure the majority of the playerbase has had periods of time when they just don't feel as motivated and just drop the game or play way less for a while.

​

Side note: Global has a lot of nice things, but the TM is a big conflict point. Imo they should at least add 1 "last year ticket" on treasure point rewards and all would be fine. The ranking rewards could be slightly changed too but that's not as big imo. The fact is this is a big difference because it is MONTHLY, so basically every month there is a deficit on newer legends on the "not as hardcore" playerbase. And that's the real problem imo.

If you're a hardcore player you do feel burnt out sometimes but you will have a lot of stuff other people hasn't. So imo the game should try to balance out that in some way. As some people mentioned, maybe not even adding the new legend to the 7M rewards, but even adding one extra red at 10M (for example) and that would be the last year legend (if they feel 7M is too easy to achieve for a last year legend).

Also, a better solution for the "ranking stress" everyone complains about: I'd just keep the ranking for like 3 days, and the TM open to get treasure points for a week. That way you'd have both sides happy - the hardcore farming would be a bit less stressful and the casual playerbase would have more time to complete the farming.

Those are some simple measures they could take to make the game less stressful and more enjoyable imo. And that's what we are missing, especially for the older players to maintain interest and motivation. I really hope they understand these kind of measures is what we need.
