I think the fact that there are hardly any fansites left, 2x events are basically taken for granted, and that there is a slew of new NX items each week is a great indication of the road we're going (and have been for a while) down. I haven't logged in a few months. I've played since beta, like a lot of you here, and played Scania up until 2009 or so. There are tons of reasons why the game has lost its appeal, but for me at least, I've seen a huge decrease in the quality of the content. Nexon hasn't even tried to hide the fact that they are purely profit driven and will do anything to get someone to spend a few bucks on a useless or overpowered NX item. I got really into the game in July/August of this past summer and grinded from 1-145 in a few weeks. Then, like everyone else, fall came and reality slapped us in the face.
I think Nexon has spread the game way too thin with the exorbitant amount of classes, array of useless cash items, lack of quality quests, events, and PQs, and the absence of unique content. All we're getting is rehashed KMS content which we all know about weeks or months ahead of time that aren't tailored for our particular culture and playerbase. How exciting can that be? Nexon has given up quality and longevity for a quick buck (like so many corporations today). You look at the iPhone 5, for example, and it really hasn't had too many huge changes on the surface. But Apple has implemented so many great fixes to the foundation while building upon what has worked for them all these years. I just don't know what Nexon is doing that actually has a purpose. The game moves so quickly now that the casual player has no hope of keeping up with events that can be over in a week. That's great for hardcore players, but it just seems overwhelming and I don't see what is being achieved. Party quests, which used to be social gatherings and joint ventures, are now nothing more than "invite some dude so we can grind". I could go on forever, but I honestly don't think there is any coming back at this point. It's too far gone.
