Actually imo its pretty much the opposite.
All the game is nowadays is conn outside of conn through events, respawn or otherwise, which gets boring fast.
Back when the server had population you could find a fight without stalking people or checking the playerlist every 4 seconds; you just had to fly and eventually youd find a big group of people you could type words at and eventually shoot at them.
Honestly id give anything for those godawful 999999999999999 missile werewolves and quintiple missile labcs and 20 tutaskias etc as long as the server could go back to having 100+ people daily. As long as people look at the playerlist and go "hmm thats a lotta players lemme go log in and play in this very active server", more and more people would follow. But of course, population only sticks if theres stuff to do. I'm not sure how piracy is nowadays but if transports are still op as balls against snubs then this game will never have high pop again.
People hate the gepard crew because all they do is ruin whatever good pvp is left. Nobody would give a damn if they'd do it as long as the server had 100+ players, because all they'd be at that point is just be more things to shoot at. You can say whatever you want about Tutashkia & co, and even I remember saying "hurr durr i wish theyd just leave" without realizing that they were making huge activity happen, because they'd boost the already decently high playerlist. The knockoff tuta crew these days just pushes more people away without making people log in.

That's why I was with the BAF during the '31 event when nearly the entirety of the aces on the server were stacked against us.
People who enjoy FL's PvP are quick to accuse more casual players of avoiding encounters, yet aces very rarely end up on the ends of each other's guns.
i switched so many times in the tau 31 event to try to keep things balanced
whenever i switched the side i switched to started winning
when i switched again that side started losing
at this point what youre just telling me to stop playing with people
me and 3 other people literally won a 4v8 what other handicaps do you want
if people dont want to lose they should train
if someone cant have fun just because they know theyll lose/theyre losing thats entirely on them and is not the fault of whoever killed them
