Social Survey: Why people are loosing interest to Discovery?

[Corpus13]

Won't really prioritize things here since there is no need to.

• The Community. Every community has its own weak and strong sides. The community of Discovery is very willing to accept and guide new players especially the ones who are experienced in roleplay and don't see issue in learning. However at the same time we've got some issues.
  For relatively long time I thought I've got no issue with anyone here but at some point it turned out that there were people who had a strong dislike towards me for reasons I wasn't even aware of. I won't be pointing fingers, really, but I will bring one simple example.
  When I took my leadership in UN, I did it out of despair because nobody else was there to take it and I was asked to do it. Turned out that some people were quite upset with this turn of events. Of course being accused in something like that didn't feel nice itself, but most importantly I was disappointed because I really thought I was doing a right thing there.
  
  
• I've got life. Really. I was mostly sticking to Discovery because my laptop didn't run Gmod quite well and I was starving for RP. Discovery provided. Then my last year at university kicked in together with writing my graduation thesis and choosing what do I even want to do with my life next and at some point I just... Lost interest at all. Mostly because of this reason, I would say even.
  
  
• The way RP goes. I liked forum RP. Really. A lot. Leading resistance movement or a corporation was always a nice experience, but in game things were drastically different. Pirates with their "2 mil or die" demands, military and police with their "please, stop for cargo scan or die", traders with their 2 lines of RP. Interactions with players didn't feel natural at all and there was next to no interesting RP in the game. Though some (quite a lot) people like it this way and for them it seems to be organic and natural. Why would the captain of corpo cargoship stay and talk with you about the weather, really? Doesn't make really sense. But for me it was kind of a bummer.
  
  
• I lost things I had to take care about. My faction, pobs - these things literally kept me here against my will and I hated it. At some point I gave up on them too and I finally managed to get rid of this anchor as well. It didn't help me to lose interest in Discovery though but it definitely kept me from coming back either.
