I'm sorry, but who in all hell do you think you are, talking to someone else like you have? What makes you think you can speak to anyone, let alone someone you do not even know like that over a game. I have done plenty for the realm, and the game during my time, and have played for a couple of years now. In time I had never actually properly met people on this game who were directly toxic, but since it is just a game I can say that I am now happier than ever that I am leaving. A civil debate cannot be had it seems, and as such there is little point to stay.
While the concept may be lost on you, then things does change after all, and seemingly people, not only myself, have after a while said we think it is a bit ridiculous the amount, specifically after some changes made by the admins. Now you say the game has always had this and it is true, but not in the extent we have been facing right now, regardless, even if you argue it has always been like that, and the game slowly has been dying, yet you remain unwilling to change it.
It is this exact sort of "It's always been, so let it remain so forever" that actually made me ruler of a realm, because very little happened and a group of people were fed up, so we did what we could to get into power and reform the realm to try and better it, now we are facing an issue that we wanted to raise so that the admins were aware that people feel this way.
People are leaving the game, has been for a while - This could help people not leaving the game - You refuse because YOU like it like that.
I would urge you not to quite. As I said, there are many options left and there is no reason to get fed up because of a single voice on this forum. I can understand your reasoning very well, but would advise you scale down on your chars and stay with 1 or 2 and play those a bit different.
I've done pretty much the same, leaving me with only 2 infils and 1 Duke (who stepped down as ruler), mostly because I no longer had the time to play them all properly. Do something else and find back that part which brought you fun in the game again. Religion has several angles, theocracy in Luria Borreal which is suffering, the old SA church who's been suffering from ESA for a long while, or even a whole different faith (there are one or 2 I think). You could become a diplomat and set up a guild continent wide to combat the monster invasion, or whatever.
