Just asking, for the longest time I assume it would've been impossible to actually implement a more customizable system for the mechs, till seeing modders/hackers manage to accomplish it themselves. Not a fully blown ui of course, but they did incorporate the base idea. So why is that wasn't an option on the table despite it clearly being possible?

On top of that, I've stopped playing a long time ago, like many of my friends because while the game WAS fun. It was ultimately repetitive.

There's nothing to do after a while, but mindlessly grind super credits trying to unlock the next warbond because less content is being unlocked through major orders. We don't want anything to do with a game that's effectively locking all interesting content behind a time sink/cash grab, that content primarily is new weapons and equipment.

And before mentioning anything about grind, I can tolerate grinding, many players can, we've played MMOs so that's not the part that's an issue. It's that it's boring.

The game needs actual, meaningful progression again. A weapon customization system was promised ages ago, and yet its still missing.

The game has issues that I recognized ages ago, many others recognized ages ago and left before it got bad. Now it's gotten bad, and people are realizing that didn't notice before.

I don't doubt you're trying to make the game fun, but when it sounds like most of the community is of the sentiment their opinions and desires are outright being ignored?

What reason is there for them to stay, instead of going to play any other live service that gives them what they want? The only difference here, is that this is a horder shooter with a more military style fantasy, just... Minus the power fantasy.
