The new staff are doing a great job. There are plenty of events hosted daily for those who enjoy events. The thing is my buddies never participated in events because PvP was not there thing and even the PvM monster bash did not appeal to them either. All of my friends just enjoyed hunting and crafting. Once they figured out the economy was bad and that hunting did not produce hardly anything, they decided to quit. They became sick of hunting the same monsters over and over and became bored with that aspect of the game. So all they did was macro, macro, macro and one day a light bulb went off and they said "Why am I macroing all the time since there is nothing to do on here? I can't make money because of the economy, I can't hunt anymore because there is nothing worth hunting except Extreme monsters and dragons in Destard.". The staff are currently in the process of tweaking monster loot and this is a great start and I am sure this will bring more people here and keep them here. Hiring new staff was necessary but this is not the reason for players leaving the shard. If you have something to do in the game you have no need to always depend on the staff for fun. This is where the problem is, as there is not much to do on the shard other than PvP and go to events. We need to appeal to the new guy who wants to come on to hunt, craft, and macro. We need to start working on the PvM aspect of the game since the PvP aspect is pretty solid. Lets say you are a hunter/crafter. What will you do with all your money? Buy statics and tubs and just make more money for what reason? We need to introduce new rare items into the game that are extremely hard to get and different things to do to occupy your time. I guarantee we will get a bigger player base once we do this. I will cut it short right there as there are enough suggestions out there and are already being looked into.
