[2021] Am I going crazy?

Or is Bless Unleashed dying out slowly? I just started a month ago, but seeing the small volume and same 10 people is kind of discouraging to keep playing tbh. The dungeons are all locked. Gear is exp asf in the Marketplace because of long time players having good gear and saturating the prices of good drops. People getting kicked from dungeons cause they're not good enough or their gs isnt good enough (hasnt happened to me yet). It's like the small playerbase wants no one to join. Its like the devs have no idea what to do. It's a lot to take in.
