My opinion on why the game has constantly been losing players

Well, I started pvping a year ago and was able to defend myself nicely enough to never whine about pvp being hard after a few months, it is not that hard, really.

Shelco destroys me in pvp despite the amount of experience difference we have. But I don't get why winning matters so much for everyone that they think they must win without putting in any kind of effort compared to the ones who put some effort in to be good at something. For many people, this aspect of the game had been a main turn on and the reason they kept on playing for so long.

Considering the newbies though, since they are most important lately, if the ones who like this gameplay are less than the amount of newplayers such a policy could bring and keep because how easy it is to kill everyone with missiles, then they should reintroduce the missiles since that is better for the server. A few of the old ones who like this skill progression system would leave but whatever, right?

I do not even think that 'most' newplayers have gripes with this system. It seems to me that the main advocates of missiles and broken hitbox ships are those with at least 2 years of experience but still do not want to put in any effort.
