Look I get it, every company needs a pat on the back. I'm not here for that. I came back to ensure that WF becomes better.
Right now, warframe needs an objective opinion.
As I see it we're missing tons of old and new players because of the fact that people can't just jump right in and play new content.
We can listen to the "yes people" all we would like but Warframe wouldn't grow.
It would be the same stuff its been sitting some where in the top 10 mmorpg but not the top mmorpg.
The fact that players have to grind old story is what's hurting the over all populations besides overall long cook times for frames and intermediate parts. That in itself could as well be the main factor.
Many of cook times for intermediate parts are adding to the frustrations of the casuals that just want to farm quickly build quickly and get back to farming.
Then you have the rewards of some quests leading to the unsatisfying feeling of just receiving a blue print and now they have to go craft it .
Many players don't actually calculate the overall wait of 5 days for your full frame minus farming materials and bp's . That's just build time.
The more chance you give someone time to think about playing a new game the more likely they will just go play a different game over opening up their wallets.
Warframe, over the years has gone from feeling rewarding to past a second job where we don't get paid but have to pay out of our pocket for better benefits without it actually benefitting. At that rate I would rather just subscribe or buy expansions .
When you look at the data of server population and player count, you can see that the top ten mmorpg are those that have a subscription base and or paid expansions that bring them forward in content or just the whole game bought.
I believe we could turn this around putting warframe back as #1 mmorpg, if we start catering more to causals. Look at every top mmorpg out there and you'll see one thing in common is you can get in now and play new content.
