Saying I'm disappointed in what's happening is a huge understatement. I couldn't muster the energy of signing into my Honmaru after seeing the notice on the app's splash screen.

Touken Ranbu was enjoyable because it let me play at my own pace. Between my personal time, work, and fluctuating levels of motivation, it was really the only game that could wiggle itself comfortably into my free time.

But what I really appreciated the most was that there was no hardcore grinding or the competitive pressure of a ranking system. Like... I don't have the lifestyle anymore or resources for that. (I actually have a longstanding hard rule of not spending money on ANY game with in-app purchases or transactions... and Touken Ranbu was the only game where I broke that rule multiple times for the training recall pigeons. idk if it counts though because I used Google opinion rewards to buy koshu gold.)

Even with TKRB's smithing "gacha", I would not feel dread or remorse with the results of multiple pulls as I did with other games. (ex. A3!, BSTS, TWST. All of which I'm not playing anymore.) Sure there are limited/exclusive characters but they come back again somehow and your patience would feel rewarded.

Watching all the time and effort that many saniwas put in get wiped like it meant nothing is absolutely heartbreaking.

After losing all I've built up and collected, I have no plans to migrate to the JPN server. tbh, the thought of starting all over again is... nauseating. However, I do want to continue drawing the toudans because of how much I cherish them and I want to share with others the same joy TKRB has provided me.

As a player since the ENG release, it absolutely fucking sucks feeling like I'm being demoted from active participant to just some observer in the sidelines.

What's most irksome is how Johren was incredibly unprofessional and inconsiderate with how they handled this matter. So to any and all companies that bring popular series internationally and views its players/fans as an easy cash grab opportunity only to take a massive shit on that same audience's loyalty when it's time to protect the company's remaining profits and investors/shareholders... I wish you a very pleasant get fucked.

Apologies to anybody who read this verbal tantrum because it's probably the same echo of frustration as the all the others. I thought I would've learned better after A3!'s English server but I genuinely believed that Touken Ranbu wouldn't suffer the same fate.
