3. staff are unlikeable and usually side with whoever suckin dick / friends because they can (a big reason they do this is because the rules do not make any sense and are usually made to stop 1 player from doing something so nobody knows how they should actually be enforced)
4. nothing new has been added to the game in 10+ years
5. there is absolutely no way tb next will do well, the game is fucking horrible and buggy and broken (2 years delayed after initial release date and still unplayable)
6. tb is a provably uninviting game in every regard. the game is too hard, public lobby queues can leave u waiting like 10 minutes for 1 match to get bodied by someone who's been playing for 10 years, and it's not interesting enough to want to learn.
spending a few years learning tb made sense when there were barely any free games, but literally like warzone and fortnite are the two biggest games right now and they are both free and do not take years to learn how to be average
7. the market is too unstable for this to be something that people enjoy trading on, making nearly all transactions on this game duels or bets. maybe if prices weren't randomly lowered to "make new players feel involved" it would work, but even still u can't get any cool colors until u have like fucking 10 thousand games played lol so idk about none of that
I agree with points 2,4,5 and 7 (mainly 7), this game needed something big, not new mods or more items, we need something to grab players.
I liked the thing you said about the colors, because it is true, you only get cool color schemes when you have at least 5000 qi, and that's alot to an average player, and still if you manage to get that much qi you still need to have tc, so basically to get any cool items or colors you need to get good and duel alot, be really lucky with bets (but only a small percentage of the player base knows that bets exist) or spend a decent bit of money on tc.
Moving off-topic, I think the first big step to drive people into tb before tb next releases is to give them an incentive to play more, like make special promotions to new players so they can get cool items easily, or spend some money on advertisement of twitch streams. Like make an add saying "if you join the game and watch the stream on xx/xx/xxxx you can get an exclusive item!!!!" like something to hype it up.
Other thing would be to make some partnerships with some indie game developers with a fan base, because everyone knows that people that play small games or indie games are most likely to play something weird like toribash.
