Too much "player engagement" is a bad thing

I don't have anything to add that hasn't already been said, but it's important to add my voice to this alert from the community: nothing justifies the amount of time required to participate in all the activities.
It's too much, way too much, and the weariness is felt especially by all those who want to be fully engaged. Only casual players don't care about these changes, and I don't think they are the ones who bring the most money to CG.

I (we?) would really appreciate to see an official answer from the devs team, even if it's just to say "we take note, we work on it".
