    It's not the Dev's. It's because miike left.

    You're right in that it's Mods, not Devs.

    But it's not because Miike left - the vocal presence of the mods was declining way before that.

    The mods used to interact a lot more; used to literally be introduced to us on the forums. They used to chat, even if it was just to congratulate people announcing their pulls or making Uncollected/Thronebreaker/Paragon.

    The old mods who worked that way left, and they were replaced with a much quieter presence that appears to purely moderate, and not interact - interactions were limited to Miike and Jax; and now just Jax, as community manager (plus Crashed, who isn't actually a mod, and I think he's a Dev who just checks in sometimes, on his own time. Nice to have his input, though...).

    The increasing presence of forum guardians has been notable during the same period that moderators have become more withdrawn.

    It seems to have been an intentional shift.

    And there's Discord now, too. Participation overall fell here when that launched.

    Ya. The fact that we got such a milk dud response to the 48 hour fiasco is probably the most telling sign that stuff is on a major decline. I don't even see the guardians as much. I look forward to mcoc 'christmas' every year and this is what we get this year? Horrid feeling in the gut. A hit to ftp and ptp players (the declining interaction to to lack of help) idk what jax and them are going through but at this point I expect the friday streams to die off as well.

    When are we going to stop saying "things are on the decline"? It's the same response they've given for every progression title complaints when grouped with a title lower. TBs did it before and Cavs apparently have never not been slapped in the face.

    Jax is worn thin. It's literally just him as the sole MOD and CM. Crashed is awesome but it's not his official role. So instead of claiming things are on the decline, maybe stop and think about everything that's happening behind the scenes until they can level out duties and such.

    Jesus they already said that their community team needs more help. This has nothing to do with the rest of the game
