Aloha,

So firstly, as a player, I have heard that World of Warships is "dying" for years. Which I have always found amusing, because it is not and has not been.

Second, it is 100% normal for players to play a game for a year or two and transition to other games. The gaming world is fluid, people come and go. I still jump back to old titles I have stopped playing or stop playing newer titles that just came out.

Just because you don't like a mechanic, or game mode, etc, doesn't mean that "everyone" doesn't. I would not be in this position if I didn't enjoy World of Warships (believe it or not, I am in this position because I WANT to be, not because I need to be) and I have been around since early Alpha testing and still enjoy playing on the regular.

All that being said, game developers and publishers are run by people, people get things right and sometimes they don't. This is human. Just because you don't agree with them, doesn't mean you get to berate or belittle those people.

Contrary to what some are saying, our player base is not shrinking, in fact the exact opposite is occurring, specifically on NA.

If we were worried about how our player base is "declining" or that World of Warships is "dying" as some of you say, we wouldn't be putting SO MUCH effort towards things like charity streams, collaborations, live streaming, server specific events like the bounty events we just got done executing, combat missions, combat mission chains, holiday events, huge mechanic upgrades and a slew of events we have planned for the future. We also wouldn't be growing our team globally (multiple new Community Managers globally).

Either way, you are 100% allowed to have your opinion of game mechanics, game modes, etc, as well as giving feedback on those mechanics, game modes etc, but be very careful to not personally attack, berate or belittle.
