The problem described here has a lot of prongs:
On the one hand, yes, we are seeing lots of veteran players leave the game in response to TB, but I wouldn't say they are leaving "because of TB". More that they were burning out and getting exhausted for a while, and TB contributed to that burnout, and did little to pull them back.
TB as a feature is cool, but it's riddled with problems that need to be rectified (frustrating platoon nonsense, highly repetitive and time consuming phase commitments, etc), but would have been difficult to predict reliably before the feature went live. I can understand that, and I hope we really see a major shift towards fixing the issues with TB when the DS version is ready to go. Better rewards wouldn't stop people from leaving, it might delay their frustration reaching critical mass though.
If you are trying to maintain top ten arena, and fleet arena ranks AND trying to orchestrate mathematically flawless power distribution for TB, you are probably getting exhausted. And you'll probably eventually hit the wall and lose your patience.
