Why is this the player base dying

I know exactly why this game is failing. When you reach rank 6 and have become decently skilled, you can mostly beat everyone in the beginner's room with the exception of a few other rank 6 guys there and alts (unfortunately). The next logical step is to go to main room where you will face more challenging opponents ranking from 3-16. Problem is, as a rank 6 I get kicked out of 90% of games (not even good ones) and sometimes get banned from a few guys for trivial reasons (a lot of autistic hosts with strange rules cause this). On top of this, it gets very boring waiting in lobbies for an hour just for a scenario map to fill (scenario is basically the only thing that is played anymore and is available to my rank level). Because of these flaws, I can see why players are leaving, especially the ones in my rank area.

You know, this community is just going to keep finding reasons to bash this browser game until the end of time (or whenever Amok & Ivan decide to shut the servers off) around this time every year until something is done; What you all need to realize-- and this is what I said last year-- that Amok & Ivan originally had an idea for a basic game, and that's what they chased after. The monetization was phase two, and it never panned out properly, so now phase three is to simply ride the premium bucks until the spigot turns itself off. A hell of a lot of games unfortunately end up like this, and you can't exactly blame the games for taking this route. They have families to take care of, and game development isn't exactly their forte.

Now what I suggested as well last year was that the community comes together, coughs up a few programmers, and begins development of a spiritual successor that eliminates the necessity of Premium entirely and focuses on a one-time price on Steam rather than this weird draconian browser bullshit. i'm sure even our Serbian and Turkish players who make up the grand majority of this community would be willing to drop ten Euro on Steam for a higher quality experience than this. There is no other game out there that mixes competitive multiplayer and grand strategy; if this game dies, which it eventually will, you'll be stuck playing Crusader Kings or Europa IV for an eternity. Either this, or someone needs to win the lottery and donate the entire payout to protobytes as an investment to get the development back in-check here, but I digress; Even if that were the case, I doubt Amok & ivan have a vested interest in this community any longer.

I feel you brah, lots of of flaky low ranks, but for the few of us good one's here there is really no competitive scene on here to really improve.
