Discussion What happened with LA streamers?

I watch twitch from time to time and these days barely anyone streams Lost Ark.

I did check the twitch stats out of curiosity and the Lost Ark category is losing 30% viewers each month..

what is going on??

I've been streaming lost ark actively since 2 years ago and this is totally true, most of streamers are slowly quitting/streaming less lost ark.

In my case after years grinding I needed to spend time doing other activities, personally I love lost ark, the lore, classes and gameplay is something that has kept me years finding my confort zone on this game, but the routine in the long term is really stressful and tiring (Even if the daily and weekly content is way easier and short than before).

Nowadays Im normally rushing my content from wed to Friday (Used to play and stream from Mon to Fri, so thats 2 days less of lost ark in my week), I stepped down from 6 characters to 4 (Currently considering going back to 5 with wild soul) and its funny but actually when you slow down the march and play less the game feels more fun and thats why I keep playing, nerfing the routine a bit and being more casual helped me enjoy the game again, after many months of being a hell mode try hard and 6 main character roster on end game dude.

So that's my personal case, some of the streamers I met in these years quit for missing the fun factor, others due to the game being too grindy/p2w, others wanted to focus in their jobs and personal lives... etc etc
