Despite my nation date, I've been playing this game since 2014 off the recommendation of a friend. While at first I had a great time, though with its fair share of rough patches, the novelty of this game from 2014-2019 wore off for me. I found myself becoming bored with how little the game was changing and the things that did change in my opinion weren't really necessary or too minimal to care. I came back briefly after a covid hiatus in 2022, and I thought taking a more chaotic approach to the game would make things more interesting. While I got up to a whole lot of shenanigans and made a lot of friends with many different bands of misfits, I found myself still feeling bored and unmotivated with the game. The game still had the same bare bones mechanics it's basically had since 2014. The overall feeling for this game for me and some others who I've shared these thoughts with is that Politics and War feels rather stagnant right now. I was briefly excited when a perk tree was announced but was just as quickly disappointed when learning that this idea that could have given the game a much needed change, was scrapped. So, with all that being said, I'm out for now, maybe I'll come back if there's some decent content worth looking into that gets dropped, but as things stand rn, I really can't be bothered sink more time into what feels like a waste of time at this point.
