I will try make this short since everything on forums nowdays is being agreed. At first, this is what I mean by the competitive communities: towering, sparring, Buddy killing, player killing.
It’s been more than six years since anything new has been added to the game to any of these stuff that I have listed except removing the 1k hat system (doesn’t even count as an update), creating more areas for people to BK (useless to the BK community itself, only good for the castle quest), creating a hatshop in BA (only promoted players to spar temporarily to get the spar coins at first. Nobody needs to spar now since the sparrers already has tons of coins now) and making a bad “temporary” towering system and I have explained why there:

If you’re going to counter this argument by saying it’s because “90% people on classic don’t do any of that” you’re wrong. Because remember these people who likes the hatshops to stay updated and nexus etc are also a part of one of these communities.The game is so boring now because there is no rewards at all.
What do you get from being in the leaderboard other than a plaque and a trophy if top 3? Nothing.
What do you get from reaching a specific amount of PKs/spar wins/BKs? Nothing
Ok well fine there is no milestone rewards but can we get anything meaningful if we get x pks/spars/BKs per season? No
When was the last time GST received an update? Probably 7 years ago.
Why a lot of Players quit the game? Because of the promised NGS that still hasn’t took place.
Why there is only 4 guilds that tower every season? Because there is only 4 towers.
Why the players log on and log off after few minutes? Because there is nothing to do.
I’m not complaining about any of the new updates like the “music instrumentals” update. But seems very unnecessary and un-interesting when the work can go to stuff that players will find more fun and interesting to participate in.
