Everything you mentioned here has merit.

It's too bad people here refusing to believe content is not this place's forte. Hive does much better on other fronts like games such as Splinterlands.

On the more traditional content side, it's lacking and left stagnant. Oh, let's not even dive into the weird 13-week lock thing. It's a sure fire way to make sure people won't hold massive amounts of HP unless they don't ever plan on cashing out.
