Solar (or was it someone else?) turned the economy into an effin' vicious circle for the newcomers and into a total pain in the ass for the oldschool players, no wonder none are pouring in and some are opting out.

I have to agree. Every time my alliance gets some new player who asks how to get some good stuff or advance economically in the game it's difficult to explain that to be really good fast, you have to work hours every day and make dozens of alts and abuse features.
Sure you can succeed in time with normal methods like mining, crafting, farming and shopping but if you do that alone with single char, it's going to take forever before you got enough gear to do competitive pvp.
I'd say abuses and exploits are too profitable compared to mundane methods. But people don't want to report them because normal ways are too slow or boring. But devs keep working, new features emerge and once those are done they can ask us what needs doing. Then it's time to reveal these exploits and abuses and suggest something compact and fun features to replace them. I simply refuse to haul spears to junktown as main source for caps.

Yep. This and i would add: devs want to cut every feature, that makes players life easier, even if DOESNT BREAK GAMEPLAY for other players. Example? SMG removed from stron slavers. SMG is shit anyway, if you want to pwn players in pvp (and strons slavers had only jhp ammo!), but someone figured that this is too easy to get nice pve gun. Solar wants everybody to be nolife, and grind whole day to get shit, which isnt even worth anything for merchants around wasteland.

This is a multiplayer game , players need to work together in order to achieve something , those who do have no problems everything piles up so quickly after few weeks of playing you have equipment for the rest of the season. There are those factions where each member has his own base where he keeps stuff , so no wonder why their always so slow in the beginning of wipe for example , then you can hear how hard is to obtain stuff from those members.

Playerbase was alright until server was attacked. Having server offline for a week, people realized that they can do something more meaningful than playing FOnline. I think some chunky update might lure them back to game.

I will prefer event. What abou wanamingo infestation in Redding, or Enclave invasion in any city. Of course, GM should first check if there is any activity in that city or if that city is not mostly empty.
But i bet my left testicle that GM will not create any funny event to bring back players.. :/
