I just think after some point the repetition just gets boring after a while, many people have accomplished so many things so thinking of new things are harder, dueling scene is somewhat still alive but not really only same casual players that play this game, same people just doing some spars because they want to, staff can only do so much imo no tournaments with crazy good incentive other than the season thing but even then same people farm that and on top of that some staff members are just doing their due diligence to just do the bare minimum and just go about their day

toribash staff SUCKS! they ALWAYS ruin MY DAY!

Hot take: introducing the clan activity system & removal of organization steadily killed off more and more groups.

Dunno about clan activity system but killing organizations like Team Lenshu, and TA were definitely a bad idea. ESPECIALLY ANIME UNITED

killing the filipino org was the real downfall of this community

real downfall of this community was when aliosa became staff member

totally staffs fault

downfall of this game was removal of msdsbutwithdicksthatkillyou.tbm from stock folder

downfall of toribash was when they made pub xspar but made it 20rt 10tf LLOLOOLOL
-----
im going to play some casual 20rt 10tf sparring rn dude

oh wait thats oxymoron LOLOLOL

biggest mistake was letting mma happen xd
On a real note, many orgs and clans used to be the pillar of the community, giving news and events to the game back before gamekeepers used to be a thing.
