What motivates you to keep playing?
I've been playing for around 5 and a half years now, my account is just below 7 million, I have 3 GL's and only about 7 characters not unlocked, but recently I lack the motivation to actually get anyt...

Didn't you say elsewhere that you are a mid-game player? If so, I would wager you are far less impacted by them than end-game players.
Here's an example. I spent a lot of resources and mods on certain counters that now just don't work because of DCs.
Yes i am and i am aware that DC will impact later...but forum seems to indicate there is a massive discontent and exodus out of the game...and this does not add up to what i see. Can you please indicate an EXAMPLE of something that no longer works due to DCs...even if at top tier?
Do you want examples of specific counters that don't work? Is that what you're asking for? Because that's going to change on a monthly basis from here on out - which is exactly where the problem lies.
DCs shook up the entire game - tried and true pre-datacron counters are no longer a sure thing and some are no longer a thing at all against the right DC. And even after people do figure out appropriate counters for a given team comp with a specific DC, that only covers a single use case. DCs have exponentially increased the complexity of theory-crafting counters because there are so many more possible bonus abilities and stats stacked on top of any given team comp. It's reduced many players to a "shoot and hope" strategy in GAC, effectively rendering previous work done on your roster as meaningless in the context of why you chose to gear certain characters or mod a certain way. It throws the entire landscape of PVP on it's head and is intended to do so every month.
Which is why I'm caring less about PVP these days. I'm not going to try to chase a meta that changes this quickly. This fundamentally changes the game where PVP is concerned and there's no possibility to 'catch up' or even expect that what you know about the game and your characters that you've put so much time and effort into will in any way resemble what it will look like tomorrow. Geared Fennec for an LV counter? Sorry - that was a waste of time and resources now.
I can't believe I'm saying this - but at least there's still conquest and TB. I generally know what to expect there and don't feel like my efforts are erased every time I engage with THAT content.
So there's my answer to the title question. What keeps me playing? 1st my guild - then Conquest, then to a much lesser degree, TB.
