The singular assured destruction. I knew that the faction I was running could never win a fight due to a combination of bad balancing, difference in skill of the regular players, and the back and forward bickering it resulted in.
Just wasn't fun anymore to try and make something out of it. for a long time I kept on coming back to this game until I discovered that other roleplay communities are way less pvp driven and toxic.
There's little wrong with the game, it's the competative circlejerk that made a lot of people turn their back on this game.
