The reason is simple - THE GAME IS DYING. Based on the terrible decisions from Respawn (lower shields, introduce turbocharged energy weapons all over the map, lower TTK, recycling early season rare skins...etc), the ridiculous number of incredibly toxic cheaters and a boring old gambling-based shop loot system......it is clear long time players are leaving in droves. This is evidenced by waiting several minutes for a pub match, which in all seasons past, I have never had to do. When the match finally begins, I am almost always paired with level <5 cheaters, or someone with 20K kills who drops hot, gets their kills, then leaves when they get downed.
Clearly the 1000's of posts from players who actually once enjoyed the game is a big waste of time. In the unlikely event Respawn even reads any of these posts, they clearly would rather spend their dev money making fancy cuts scenes and comic strips (no one reads) instead of addressing bugs and have a focused efforts of banning the abundance of cheaters in the game. Bad business model. There is a tried and true reason for the saying "the customer is always right". Respawn seems to take pride in alienating their true player base, and I for one will no longer be an ATM for Respawn as I have been for the past 2 years. Not one more penny until there is a serious re-balance of the game and I start to see a cheater every 100 matches instead of every single match.
