Hey buddy. No offence intended, but I just wanted to point out that 'objective' means being purely based on unbiased facts, without being influenced by opinions. So when you said CH isnt objectively a bad game, that was the proper use, but all your uses after that you probably mean subjective, meaning based on the opinion and experience of the subject (player).
CH still has a lot of grind. On Mabon it seems plat items are harder to find, perhaps due to higher demand, less interest in recent chests, or maybe overall less people being interested in spending money on a game.
I don't know when you left, but in recent days we have had a cool tower update which brought in more bosses and a new set of armor/weapons after dl. We have the bounty system, which could be improved but still adds another aspect to the game at all levels. Fishing is a good way to waste time and accomplish nothing.
In the near future we will have mounts that you can use your weapons while riding and eventually an auction house. There is also talk of a new expansion, with new areas being added maybe next year or so. I say come back and hit the grind hard, pick a good clan and help them become a great clan. Maybe I'll see you ingame or on a beta some time
