why are u blaming sde for this? its the playerbase not sde.... people do not play gb2 because its the same as gb1 exept an annoying flagship and gb1 has faster games (sometimes to little time) and better exp..... and besides u can always open a cv room or a normal room and name it lets say bb1-5 only etc.... stop whining and do something about it

oh and also op convoy thats one thats played alot if u actually open that game

I feel the same way, its mostly the players.

GB1 always gave better exp/hour and you could always level faster on it. Yet people were dazzled with the final exp screen that GB2 gave and didn't bother to play a GB1. Now that they tried it, impulsed by the increase in capital ships, they realized this and keept on playing.

There are some game modes that could use an overhaul to make them more appealing, but in the end, its the mass of players who determine the game mode to be played based on their main interests (fast battle start, great exp).

Except that you can lose over 130 experts for retreating in OP convoy, when you have enough.
10 experts lost on every sailors.

If this argument worked, I would've brought it up when GB2 took prevalence over GB1 a few years back

Nothing is stopping you from creating a GB2. If people don't join your room, blame the player base, not the company.

IMO, GB1 is far much better than GB2. It fosters skill growth, where your EXP gain is dependent on your performance (in a BB) instead of just pure rushing the flagship.

It's a domino effect.

When SDE buffs one game mode, it suddenly becomes in vogue and everybody plays it. As such, rooms start faster, which makes it more appealing for people to play it.

This, in turn, leaves the other option with a lack of players, and as such slow to start, which makes people avoid it.
The less people play it, the harder it is to get games going, and the more unpopular it becomes.

Mad you can't leach?

Its isn't SDE's fault. It is the playerbase.

People play what gives them the most exp. Small groups may play other game modes for other reasons, but the majority will play what gives them the most exp.

I would love SDE to change the primary exp game-mode each month, would bring a new lease of life to the game.
