Yeah, that is what people saying for a decade, even when it peaked 13 Million Subscribers. 
And don’t even get me started about all those praised “WoW Clones” supposed to beat it, right before they all failed and died 
There is no place for a Hardcore-Focused MMORPGs in the market, except for maybe indie developers. And this was literally proven over and over for years now.
maybe by next week reset we get new skins… MAYBE
Just because people where saying the game is dying in burning crusade or WoTK doesnt mean me saying it started dying after this isnt true
Lost Ark have been a very successful game for many years just for this reason, if you dont like the hardcore then you should go play WoW or FF14 then
the game doesnt need to have 1m+ daily players to be healthy, remember how they expected to have a playerbase of 200k at the launch hype? that would fall? if we hit 200k after everyone who realizes the game isnt for them the game is still ok
And now they got much more than that, and will cater to those players
How about you go to play New World, Crowfall, Mortal Online 2, Albion, Eve Online or whatever other Niche MMO trying to cater to you? 
New World is a grindfest, not hardcore at all. You sound just as selfish as the players that don’t want nerfs trying to make a game cater to you.
I once again fail to see how New World, Crowfall or Eve Online is a hardcore mmorpg in the PVE context of things, the other two I cant speak about
Lost Ark won’t be either
Hate to break it to you, but that trend is in full effect already, and you won’t do anything to stop it
Yes, you care about nothing but your self entitled greed and cry baby lack of skill. We are aware. Glad you are too.
Yeah ur right, it will not be, if they remove mechanics which are in the original version of the game, mechanics thats been there for KR for years without problems
Thats the problem people have with this change and dont come to me with this “in KR you can buy boost to t3 instantly and u et mokoko buff that makes u do more dmg and take less dmg”
Yeah, but the game have been out for years in KR so you getting to catch up if u start now makes sense, and a DR and DMG buff wont protect you from oneshots thats now been removed here.
all us “elitists” “sweaty tryhards” are trying to say and want, is that we want the game to be the same as in KR, if KR didnt have oneshot mechanics then we shouldnt either.
and saying that ff14 only caters to casuals is also wrong since extremes and above all have oneshot mechanics, savage+ making those mechanics oneshot the entire raid instead of just you if u f up. Yet they have never needed to remove those mechanics over all the years
so im pretty sure games like these flies here, just not for u, thats why Dark souls is so successful, it doesnt cater to everyone, sure. but enough players
Nice Meltdown you got there!
Wonder if you will survive the upcoming nerfs to T3 and legion raids 
I didn’t claim otherwise. But at least you know how laughably sad you are.
So you admit that you have a meltdown over the Nerfs?
Seems fine by me 
Are you 12 or just a troll? Why can’t both parties be happy?
Because Hardcore players with fragile egos are only happy if others are not.
But not this time 
You are only happy if the game caters towards you. Seems the same to me.
I am part of the vast majority, though!
99% > 1%
There are enough games ruined by delusional Hardcore/Ego-Players. Lost Ark will not be one of those, obviously. 
How does that change what I said? You’re the same thing. Pot meet kettle please.
Whatever pleases you
You obviously got out of the wrong side of the bed today…
Plus, you have been reported for being offensive and personal insults…
Read the rules.
