G1 sank the ship a long time ago and abandoned it rightfully so. just some things off the top of my head that further progressed the inevitable death of this game:
Abusive GMs
Terrible Automated ticket system that proved useless
PunkBuster False Positives
Griefers/Closet Max ranks going unpunished
Endless JokerBoxes and 99% existing content locked behind Paywall
Lack of content with false promises, and "new content" was just old RTW models that they ended up selling anyway
G1C events that wasted everyone's time
Doing the opposite of whatever the vast majority of the community voiced for
Compartmentalizing threats and districts further decreasing population
Chaos district never making it outside of testing
Removal of Financial Fight Club
Servers, Performance, and Optimization worsening over the years
Forum Nazi (Moderators) trying to censor every topic that points out these flaws and/or doesn't show APB as the greatest game in existence
and of course now we also have all the people who invested thousands of hours and dollars in this game projecting their fear of losing all that in to
"LO will surely save this game! Just give them time guys!!", the mountain of problems that LO will have to climb to just have a chance at saving this game is enormous.
I am not optimistic in the slightest, but to those who are and especially the new Dev team who will surely be crucified whether they actually attempt to fix these problems or just milk it while doing nothing like G1:
Good Luck.
