The game is too repetitive, sure, for anyone who hasn't completed previous copies of the exact same event with different prizes that you're never gonna use after the meta shifts, it can seem pretty exciting. Coming back to Respawnables around the times of the archery event, I had some excitement for the game, making sure to complete every trial, it was almost as if I was new to the game but I had equipments that weren't available anymore. And then nearing the end of 2018 I started to find repetitiveness in the game and the spark of excitement for new events I once had was non-existent. How many sequals of the same events can DLE produce until the game has no more events without a number next to it? That's just the small part of the problem there's numerous reasons why the game is dying and why the community is becoming smaller and smaller.

One thing I've hated ever since I became part of the RSPN community was that the community always seemed to have a passion for making "newcomers" feel unwelcome. If any of you remember when the Blunderbuss was the most powerful weapon a F2P and a 'newcomer' could use you'd remember iChase critisizing players using it and then a few years later, when the most unbalanced weapons got introduced he'd refer to Blunderbuss infested matches as the "good old days". I just could never wrap my head around why people would complain about a weapon that anyone can purhase for 85 gold - less costly than 30 stealth gadgets. Then the developers themselves showed this hostile behaviour towards F2P users, first releasing the close quarter's pack and then the brazilian armour - which iChase wasn't very fond of either. It's ironic how the same thing is being repeated for the Golden BB this time, a weapon obtainable through playing the game, that's right - not buying 3 different bundles to have the perfect loadout to make your OP weapon even more powerful.

Another reason: lack of comptetiveness and bad developers. For a game that's been around for more than HALF A DECADE, you'd expect the game developers to host tournaments, or at least give entertainers such as YouTube gamers who play the game the capability of hosting a tournament. No custom matches, lack of communication between the community and the developers, no nothing. Mobile gaming can't and won't be considered as "true" gaming when there are little games who have developers who are bothered to add a feature to the game that'll make it comptetive. Correct me if I'm wrong; but one of the only mobile games that can be considered as competitive as console games is Clash Royale. Now I don't play console a lot, but the games that I enjoy playing are very hard for me to step into the competitive zone. The only time I remember the developers listening to the community is when they nerfed the Cricket, sorry, they didn't nerf it - they killed it.

Hypocrisy in the community. I don't wanna get too much in to this because the last time I did, every single person with a superior lable in the wiki were in denial and they acted like their wiki is flawless, ever since I don't remember me complaining about anything related to the community, except for a thread about hacking I made out of anger and then deleted it almost immediately as it wost pointless. It was kind of like the whole "write a hate letter to someone you hate and then burn the letter" kind of thing. However I'll point out a few things that really need to be adressed. First off; what "pro" players really seem to be a fan of is spending money inefficiently. The same "pro" player who had bought the Easter Warrior Bunny Kit or whatever it's called for 7 USD this event could still complain about the player using the Aristocrat Shotgun he had purchased for 4.50 USD during the Black Friday Sale because he's dominating the match. I'll give the best example I can. For any of those who don't know - PAND was one of the biggest RSPN channels on YouTube before he deleted all of his videos because of schoolwork. This lad had a lot of bundles in the game he had done reviews on - promoting those gift card apps - possibly spending the money they offered him to promote them to buy the bundles. iChase and some of his mates used to stream on thise app called "Mobcrush" and I downloaded it to check out some of the streams. I found PAND's channel and watched some of his broadcasts. So he was in this match in Royal Gardens with basically most of lobby being full of players of an inferior level and this one guy with the Battle Ram. The Battle Ram guy killed him three times in a row from the other side of the map and PAND started calling the guy a low-life for using the BR and complaining about people using this weapon. So I have two questions: 1.What's the point of spending all that money you got from sponsors on bundles that won't complement your skills in the game to win in a FFA match which has people of inferior level and only a single guy using a paid weapon? 2. You both have the weapon, the difference is the guy using it is making his investment worth the money by actually using it, what's wrong with that? Now I'm not attacking PAND, not at all, I say those things jokingly as well sometimes - or out of anger, my point is that this is what people in the community do - spend money inefficiently then complain about those who spent it better than they did.

Another reason - developers can't be bothered with the game anymore. The same developers that hired RedPoint to take down videos which show players how to cheat the game don't seem to even make an effort to ban players who hack the game. I tried to play the easter event a few days ago and in 2 different lobbies there were speed hackers, one of them could also control the pace of the timer (some IQ guy). There are players and clans we all know who are open about hacking the game and haven't received a ban and I don't think they will be anytime soon. It's funny how iChase's clan members were banned a long time ago for adding gold to their accounts to be able to afford gadgets anonymously but people who are open about hacking haven't. One of my friends who had downloaded data of an account with 60 k gold level 1 with a lot of cash around 4 years ago got banned and he now can't connect to GC bc his account will be banned as soon as he does. Where did all the effort go? Repetitive events, no steps made to lessen the amoun of hackers, constantly reselling bundles with discounts because they don't sell with overpriced price tags, they just couldn't make it more obvious that they don't care about the game anymore.

Well - that's it. If you read the whole thing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Bix44C1EzY I guess. The game's been this way ever since they released that stupid Brazilian warrior bundle and shock force head back in 2015 ... which means you're late by 3 years! I'm no Respawnables elite but I'm just happy that I haven't given a single dime to these greedy developers since I started playing over 4 years ago. I'd have to disagree with you. I've been playing the game since December 2013 and at 2015 the game was doing fine. It was heading downhill but it wasn't anything to worry about. And if you read the whole thing you would see me mention the Brazillian warrior bundle, so please make sure to read something before you comment on it. It was at late 2015 were I didn't touch the game for a long time and made a return for the St Patrick Event and then again dissapeared until the Archery Tournament, and now again I don't play the gane much.The last straw for me was seeing speed hackers on iOS, which I don't think has been arond for too long - feel free to correct me on that.
