I'm going to be psuedo-contrarian and agree with your premise, but disagree with all of your reasons! This is most likely due to people coming from different situations, though. Meaning your reasons are right for you, my reasons are right for me, and other will have different reasons for thinking the game is going down hill.

But I feel like it's easier to T2 now than ever before -- i got in with an alt account this past TvT and didn't spend very much time doing so at all.

I sort of think it's easier to farm battle cubes, especially since they added the +3 for mvp in the early part of raids. Certainly I don't think it's much more difficult; obviously they've made bosses tougher, but if farming is truly someone's intention for a certain event, I see it as being doable.

And I'm sure a lot of people on here haven't been spending money for a while, other than on an occasional weapon from the paid bridge.

For me, I think it's going downhill because they are making changes that seemingly make no sense without any thought as to the ramifications. 3,000 TM to upgrade an R6 -- here's 2 sets of R6 for your T2 and 4 day wins and 150 TM to go with them. WTF? If you want to buy TM, it's so ridiculously overpriced for what you would need: the other 5,850 TM needed to MTM those two R6 from my example above would cost $875US! How does that make any sense at all?

Then the constant bugs and screwups that have come to be expected. The Mirage R5 from last year, which was the beginning of the end if you ask me. 2 words that make most of us cringe: healing cluster. This latest UM R5 that seemingly had overinflated stats relative to many R6 and some R7. The odd "granting of T2 prizes to T3 finishers" from the last campaign that happened at the 11th hour, which the CS response was "the game team just decided to do that last minute so we are not awarding any compensation." Really? you can do that?? Congratulations on winning the NBA finals, San Antonio. But instead of just you all getting diamond-studded championship rings that were promised, the league decided at the last minute that all teams that made the playoffs this year are getting rings.

It's like they don't want this game to continue, but instead of just pulling the plug (and dealing with whatever ramifications there would be, or perhaps they can't do that), they are just intentially effing it up to drive people away.
