I recently came back to the game due to a long spell of being inactive only to find that more and more people have been, and currently, are leaving due to the QoL of the game. There are differing opinions from each individual about how they think a certain aspect should or shouldn’t work. Spot on – we’re all humans – we all have our own opinions. That being said, we haven’t had too much interaction with the Cows on where the game is going in certain aspects or what we can expect from them. We, as the community, have questions that aren’t really being answer unless there is a definitive answer right away (see buying reserve stamina post from earlier). There are aspects of the game that are dying little by little, and there doesn’t seem to be much that is being done about that.
GvG has long been on the back-burner, but the community has been working diligently on trying to come up with solutions to fix it. Ryebred has an amazing thread that he started where the community has really put in a solid effort into making GvG better collectively:

Here, we have been told that the Cows have been monitoring this thread (this comment was made in April of 2017 and again in May of 2017), but we still don’t have anything to show for it. We’re going on a year of a truly, well thought-out idea to overhaul an aspect of the game that has been here since the game’s inception. Please let’s show it some love.
Titan Hunting is another generally stagnant part of the game (albeit with the exception of the new Gospa Perchta). The supply for these items is always high while the demand has become so low, it’s almost like people would rather not waste their time with going after them. In order to inject some life into this, there has to be demand for those items. Gospa was a step in the right direction with being able to invent multiple items across different levels. Maybe even cycle titans out or use the current Titan drops the way the Inferno Hammer and Writhing Ward were done. There just has to be a way to increase the activity for this without creating too much hassle. Yes, Gospa has created hassle, but only because she’s only around for a limited time. This doesn’t have to be the case for every titan.
PvP Ladder – a great way to try and test the might of those who actually prefer to fight against each other without the frustration of “Ah! He hit me for my gold!” You can look at the ladders and there are very few that are active. In fact, a lot of them look like people opt in simply because there’s only 1 or 2 people hitting. Hey – 3rd place is still accruing tokens, right? Somehow, I don’t think this was the intention behind the PvP ladder bands, but here we are. Again, just injecting something to “spice it up a little” would do the ladder wonders. The potions are by far the best reward from being on the ladder.
PvP Arena seems to be fair overall and I know items are added every so often, but I’m not sure as to how often. Just setting a precedence would be wonderful. Again, give the community something to look forward to.
Leveling is leveling – Content comes and people blow through it. Then it comes again, and people blow through it again. I'm not going to dive into this because I can't speak intelligently about how the leveling content is going.
FS is a wonderful game. ‘Tis why I came back after years of inactivity (due to RL). I had some friends welcome me back with open arms and can say I’m glad I’m back and active again. On the other hand, I’ve also had friends that have gone completely inactive – a lot due to the QoL of the game. The community knows that HCS is busy producing for all of their games, but FS has been the staple in the HCS network. The community isn’t really asking for much – just don’t let the game we love keep dying.
