gold is so useless in the game. literally only good for bragging. Gadgets are hardly used by anyone when they just rely on their main weapon's abilities. i rarely enter a match and see ballistic knife users or super grenade users. Once you get all the gold weapons, gold becomes useless. you could even argue now that giold is useless since the gold weapons are getting outclassed by these new weapons.

with that said, I hope this game as a couple more years in it. Its still very fun and probably a big, if not the biggest, moneymaker for DLE. The problem like TK pointed out is the player base. We ask for a good event weapon but we complain when noobs get it. then DLE releases a balanced event weapon and then we complain that the event is too hard given the balanced nature of the weapon. same thing with event difficulty. its an endless cycle where DLE tries to appease it's player base.

I think another big problem is that with the community being so old, you have a lot of OG players that have all the good weapons, gears, and skill sets, which makes it hard for new incoming plaers to compete at a beginner's level. This will drive them to purchase bundles in order to compete, which leads to spamming those weapons since it's the only way they know to compete. They don't know that the Revolver is good, or the Howitzer too.

On the original poster's question, Respawnables is not dying nor is it dead. Idk why but all the damn utubers keep saying respawnables is dead and crap when it really isn't. These youtubers are old players and they know what the respawnables good old times were and they yearn for that. Because they can't get that back they resort to calling the game dead as a way to justify them quitting instead of adapting to the new game. One of the reasons to the success of Respawnables is that it is evolving which attracts new players. Yes noobs will get pounded by older players and yes the top tier of weapons is still there, but with each new weapon addition the game evolves just a little bit, until the little changes effect a big change. Respawnables right now is stagnant in that it has a steady stream of new players replacing old players leaving.
