Because this game sucks. They added all these stupid buggy changes and it frustrates players into quitting the game. I honestly do not see the point in this game myself with all the bugs and horrible new ideas that are bugged. And the town control sucks and is completely boring and pointless.

Stop complaining the game is good as it is.

Indeed, there are 3 things killing the game right now:

1- Heavy Handed
2- Silent Death Bursters
3- Bugged TC (while factions controling towns become richer and richer)

I would honestly suggest new players to wait for those to be fixed, unless they only play in secured cities.

From a new guy perspective the biggest problem is making a tent. Let's remember that new guys are loners because they don't know anybody yet. That's why it is a real pain for them to gather 10 hides for a tent. (remember that they don't know how to play and make a good build). This alone makes them go away. If we could get around that and make it easier for them the chance for them to continue playing would be higher.
I already suggested that every new char should start having his tent somewhere on the map. Make it be in a awkward location but at least he would have a place to store his items. Besides, he would make a new tent anyway because of the far away location of his original tent but at least it would be easier to do it having a place to store items in the first place.

I made a great build with high perception that was pretty much from a template. I sat and researched for a few days with the build calculator. I made a few different builds but after a while I settled with one. The whole idea for the character was to avoid others out in the wasteland with perception and outdoorsman which works well. I've still got the word files telling me what train for each lvl up. I think I got to the stage where I could blow away nearly anything with a deagle using small guns skill. I stayed in a high security town and didnt have any problems getting by. It was a frigging nightmare because the inventory was made redundant by pickpockets so I learnt to carry the bare minimum and carried on. no problem.

But then because the brahmin hides are essential for every player, there a friggin nightmare to find. The shops that I seen wheren't being seeded with them. We're told to try and and buy a cow, but the guy would never have any to sell. I even seen players making a fortune off selling overpriced brahmin. I ran about the wilderness for ages, with maxed out outdoorsman, looking for brahmin and got bugger all.
If brahmin hides are made one of the most essential things in the game for player to build a home out of, then you'd think the towns would sort their economics out and have a shit ton more brahmin and hides about. Between no cows and rife stealing a huge part of the games mechanics (any rpg games mechanics of being able to store things) is made almost inaccessable for new players. If unforgiving realism is a factor then why cant we just set up a camp anywhere in the wilderness without hides pretty much like real life??

In STALKER you only need a rucksack to store stuff, that would do me!!

Reiniat:
1.- There are enough players
2.- YES we need more encounter pvp, that is the essence of Fallout, and my only reason to play this game

And Wobbbles84...i dont know what to say... i feel like get 10 brahmin hides is easy, when i was newbie it take me only 30 min to get the 10 hides and im not a good player, i dont spend much time in the game (maybe 4-6 hours every 3 days)
maybe you should search in wiki
or Survival Guides/Game Help section
or you can ask nicely a big guy, there are many good guys out there
you can also ask for help on IRC
you can go MODOC to hunt
you can store the hides in the corner of a city
There are plenty of thing to do, and i think that if someone just can't do it, he must quit the game, but as i've said; its easy.

Extravaganze:
I agree we need new quests items and more pvp more importantly but I thing the game is mostly missing a good pvp. Currently the only thing that people does in pvp is bang bang hide use stimpack which is boring after a while when everyybody does the same thing. If the developers  can put duck cover laydown like in the fallout tacktics the pvp would change a lot and much fun, imagine we will be able make special operations to the enemy factions and even city wars would need tactics. it semms the pvp system is too simple easy and boring. some people may play for crafting but majority plays for wars.
