I've been playing for over 8 years. I've been in several guilds, now I'm in a guild consortium of several guilds. I've been an officer in a couple of the guilds. I've had my ups and downs, wanted to quit many times. I agree, I think CG made a few mistakes in the last several months. I personally think there are too many meta anti-GL squads. These new additions to fleet has really sent me for a loop. I was #1 in my fleet shard everyday for payout with my Profundity. Now I'm lucky to stay in the top 10. I really relied on that crystal income as I am a mostly f2p player. There were times I would spend up to $100 in a month, but usually I can't at all. After everything else they've taken away over the last few years, I don't know how much more I can take.
