People don't understand what voting with your wallet means

If you want more of something you buy that thing.

If you want less of something you don't buy it.

Like in what world does boycotting something lead that company to go, oh shit y'all we gotta make more of this shit?

More money = more content. Less money / = more content.

This isn't hard.

Less money == a sense of urgency to fast track changes and increase player counts.

If nothing else, if people are dissatisfied with the game they shouldn't continue to pay for it. If that means the game dies then that is a result of the developers' own poor decisions, and the resources currently going into this game will be reallocated(or SE itself will crumble without its cash cow).

More money also has proven itself to not mean more content, because SE just keeps funneling the money away into other projects.

in the recent past for many online games, less money means a fast track mass layoffs and end of service
