Why is the community population declining?

I love how all of the people who have been here forever say that a cash wipe is no big deal because they already have everything they want. Have you even considered the newer people who are still struggling to get things?

Quite the opposite actually. I wipe my stuff every version anyway.
Also there were 2 severe bugs to exploit the cash system- one created free cau8s and the one created cash by moving money around. The third was added now with jumping barge traders and the buffed trade income and 250 mill less costing battleships.
I am also fan of full wipe, actually the cash wipe would be a bigger problem for the older players that have 2-3 accounts full of startflies or CSVs with 1-2 b each then to the new players. It is rather simple- the new players invest all of their credits in ships, the older players only have banks. The easy access to money combined with bugged money and almost none costs for dieing create the problem.

I wont comment balance in this topic it was commented many times also it is clear that every faction is the best and make the best ships and have the largest fleet with the best guns. So the balance should be PvP based and time effort investment based. It is too late for Lore based balance- many factions should loose their ships in order to do that and this is contra productive.

Official faction players that are often accused of elitism, never deploy them and have those weird, immersion killing "fair fight/dueling" suicidal hobbies. (yes, i've seen enough of those lolduels, where house military with overwhelming force on the field willingly loses a pilot in a duel. ffs.)
