However moving the goal posts around and rebalancing won't make the game any more appealing for outsiders, aside from the ones already playing. Making big changes , like UI overhaul which was cancelled/postponed and the likes of new bots, if there are not capable of producing this in a short time frame, there is no point but hope for a miracle.

jita... you are under the assumption, that its "working content" that got removed. Well, it didn't work according the player retention...

currently more content is "locked" by a player-faction that doesnt actively play the game.

reading this post, i see the only one explanation: this is a retribution.
CHAOS and others, include CIR, PHM (basically everyone players) uses vulnerabilities everytime and everywhere.
I remember the time when the enemies came to shoot ultramarine base first time. They did everything correct (as intended). But after that Ultramarine base was fortified too much. Ramps and other constructions made it invulnerable for normal attacks. After several unsuccess attempts of siege, it was destroyed with using bugs.

It's your idiocy. Its not their job to spend all their very limited time closing every loophole some player with aspergers finds. Thats ridiculous. Do you stick your head out of open train windows if you find them because it's there job to keep them closed? Do you put spill coffe on yourself to check if it's hot when its not labelled?

Why do you need the Devs to stop you all from behaving like a ***?

this is a SANDBOX with what you do having a very real impact on the success of the game. It's up to YOU to take responsibility for YOUR playstyle and YOUR actions and so far they have been lacking. If it's not bad enough to get caught out in a lie about other players who gave you their trust while doing the podcast now your apologizing for people abusing the mechanics to grief people in arkhes.

Your a disgrace.

If this could be solved by "programming" then it would have been solved already.
