the continual decrease of players

All you have to do as look at games that are more successful than pwi and yes leveling is a huge problem you have to level to 105 3 times then level a bunch of other stuff. Also not to mention other stupid stuff a game should not be a job it should be fun and all the daily's have killed the game it should take no more than a month to max out everything like every other top game that is successful. To keep players you focus on endgame content that is fun like pk/nw/tw and end game instances that give drop rank 9 pieces. Pwi won award for one of the worst games to level in and that's before you had to hit 105 two more times. I get sick of seeing you guys talk about leveling is not a problem when it is. Also the amount of money to get end game is to much for the every day person.

"pk, nw,tw" - all are PvP.

Those, who want to play PvE not need it.

I had played pwi few times and more than year each time, but it was not at high level or in pk instances.

PVE is garbage and the game has no story. That's why the game is dieing pvp is the only thing that keeps people playing video-games. The top selling games all have competitive play for replay value, if people would stop catering to pvers maybe it wouldn't be dead, hopefully someone listens.

Uninstall and go back to school to learn how to spell. The game is not dying because there's too much pvp on the pve servers where most people are blue named.

Also @pyrosandstorm#1009 welcome to the game I hope you enjoy here as much as I do. Mind if I ask how did you personally found this game?

Google, lol. I was just searching for MMOs, and then doing research on the ones that looked interesting to make sure they weren't actually viruses or anything.

It is this mentality that tends to kill many MMOs. I have been playing these types of games for over fifteen years, and the best MMOs were the earlier ones. The type of game that took two or more years to reach max level no matter how hard you tried. It wasn't about endgame. It wasn't about having to be an elitist basement dwelling desk chair cowboy yelling "mom where's my sammich?" while being able to mash buttons faster than another elitist basement dwelling desk chair cowboy. It was about the trip from beginning to end.

As SilenThunder said, PvP more often than not is the killer of MMOs. Even case in point, PWI. Which servers were the more populated ones? The PvE servers. The PvP servers were hemorrhaging players left and right that couldn't keep up. The mentality on PvP servers, is "I'm top tier endgame, the rest of you I'm going to splatter on my monitor screen no matter what your level is." At least on the PvE servers in MMOs, people have the option to enjoy the ride, see the sites, smell the roses, and take their time. Sadly the mentality is I want it now. I just started the game and want to be max level yesterday.

The one thing I can somewhat agree with is the level 100+ dailies. Its pretty much all there is. I'm thankful being a faction leader, with a guild made up of all levels. I find it enjoyable helping others and it breaks the monotony of the 30+ daily quests. At least leveling things like cards is fun in that it takes time, and getting a card you need is like opening a Christmas present you really wanted, instead of finding the yearly dreaded pair of grandma's knitted socks she made for you that are ten sizes too big.
