I have played this game for nearly 7 years, the game was great with basic skills, a fun rating system for items, your guns would shoot where you pointed. PVE was still fun without aim cone / bloom.

The game was easy then and its still easy with aim cone, it should have never been added and especially to the terrible extent it is. Aim cone completely killed all PVP servers which was the most enjoyable and intense game-play you could have come across in the game. Even in PVE no one wants or has ever asked to start the game with aim cone as big as your entire screen. This doesn't make sense and never will.

The skill tree system does not make sense. Until you get high enough level to put points into everything, certain trees are just obviously 100x better than others. Melee shouldn't even be in the skill trees at this point, the melee system is the most boring and intuitive combat of any survival game, hit walk back, hit walk back, hit walk back, repeat until thing dies.

There was no reason to change the item rating system to the new bland "add more attachments" system.
The new item rating system is boring and lacks any excitement when finding items, finding a high tier 500-600 rated item gave you the adrenaline the new system lacks. The attachments for the new system have been unbalanced since release and make half of them useless once you find the "meta" attachments.

I used to watch all the devblogs for this game and everytime it made me upset because its obvious how little the game is actually played and understood by its own dev team. I do not understand how this game has went backwards in the last 7 years game-play wise, and is still in "early access". There seems to be a lack of care or communication somewhere between the devs / community to keep releasing updates that no one wants or has ever asked for.

I am making this rant because I used to be in a 7 days discord with a few hundred people and to see EVERYONE quit the game because of lack of updates, unwanted updates when they do happen, next to no support for multiplayer servers, and seeing devs completely ignore a large portion of their player-base who enjoy PVP, makes me sick.

This was one of the most exciting and intuitive games to play years ago, now it just feels like a failed and uncompleted mashup of an MMO, survival, base building sim, and RPG game. Revert the game to where it was 5 years ago and fix bugs / glitches, the current game has failed.
