Has what to do with the price of tea in China, now? Nobody said _nothing_ could be changed. What was said was that your specific ideas ain’t it. 0% of what you posted is _new_. The same ideas about, “You know what this needs to fix player retention? Some more PvE content!” have been around for years, and they’ve _added_ more PvE content and, lo, it does nothing for retention because actually, the problem is fairly complicated, and who would have thought that the simplistic idea from GuyWho’sBeenHereForFiveMinutes isn’t a silver bullet! Go figure! Hell, some time back they added the “diamond” NPCs, which were actually fairly interesting new content in their AI behavior and relative difficulty. A little more “alive” than the red triangles you normally shoot, anyhow. You know what PvE players mostly do?
