I wrote this topic mostly for dev team, because user rating has dropped drastically from over 80% to 60% and still is falling down even more. For now, it is Mixed. I made a quick reviews research. I checked “Helpful” (filter) user reviews and here’s what I found in the frist 5. The fourth was simply “bad management” whatever that means.

The biggest problem is the lack of trade. Other common problems are restrictions in the dungeons system, game performance, an auction house and a few others. If staff don’t change anything, it will be a failure. Summarizing:
low user score = less range = less players (especially for F2P) = less chance to feature on steam = less money. No matter how the dev team explain their design decisions, if the players don’t like it (see user score) this means that as the game developers you’re doing something wrong. Low review rating will have a big impact on popularity. This is not a linear relationship, but it is important for the player base. Even on this forum, the players repeatedly pointed out the same problems, but none of the developers take it seriously.

If dev’s don’t fix these issues, it will mean that:
- They are incompetent in the Western market
- They just want to squeeze as many dollars as they can before the end of the show called “Tree of Savior (English Ver.)”
