That's it. Over the past 12 years the players are to blame for the game's death. Actively shitting on everyone who joins the game repeatedly until they uninstall. The reason you're left with 255 sweaties with overpowered guns is everyone else left.
APB is a game for 0.00000000000000001% of the population to enjoy. Aimbotters and people who happen to be born with sub 200ms reaction times. Over 12 years the people in charge of the game have done nothing to change that.
It's a shame the creative efforts of so many people were ruined by a tiny sadistic group.
