So this game used to be cool.
I played when it was decently new. Season 3 or whatever. Lemme explain then and now.
Then:
The thing I loved most about this game was its literally a virtual casino. You would walk around to the different casino games such as roulette, poker, blackjack etc. You would meet people around at each table. Some friendly, some keeping to themselves. But especially around the poker tables, it was clear there was a sense of friendly community. People became well known, especially after the tournaments. Friendly banter and just hanging out. Casino was designed well. Loading screens a little slow, and sometimes the games seemed to be a bit rigged, but other than that, no dramas.
clothes were at a reasonable price and the grind to get them wasn't really a grind at all, (so long as you didnt keep losing.) If you ran outta chips, there were ways to get free chips to get back on your feet. Just enough so that farming free chips was pointless and slow as hell, yet great to make sure you could keep playing the game.
Easily one of my top 5 games I'd come back to every 2nd day or so.
Now:
The casino is a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ maze.
I came back to this game thinking "What... have you done. Where am i.."
The community is somewhere between toxic and childish, or both. Overall, just not enjoyable to be around. Actually you know what? Here's my process of logging back in.

Why can i go to space?
is this still a casino game? what is happenin- I'm shooting asteroids from a garbage bay...
OKay, i'm back in the lobby. I'll try out the- oh, that's right, there's hallways everywhere now. Where is the war table?
Roulette? let me check my map.
.....This map makes no sense.
Let me just teleport to the poker roo- my game crashed.
*loads it back up* Okay. Lets try this again.
There's 4 people in here. And one of them is just farming the free chips booth every 10 minutes.
Okay lets make friends with these guys.
"Hi."
"shut up"
yaaay friends...
*wins the first 3 rounds.* Ok so now I'm being threatened by one of these people to get me banned, because I'm being disrespectful.
What?
This person finishes her sentances with either "Sweetie" or "darling" every time it gives me sass. (I say "it", because I get the impression it was like a 12 year old kid.)
Ok, ♥♥♥♥ this. I'm going all in and going to just go play blackjack by myself.
I won. Oh they're going to report me for cheating? Ok. Have fun with that.... -.-
Blackjack time. There's literally one person in the entire room playing by himself. Lets sit at his table.
He barely speaks english and i'm pretty sure he's hitting on me.
Ok, I've had enough. Uninstall.

Long story short, They kept dumping on un-necessary changes, driving away the old, friendly and open community, and drawing in a new, toxic and broken community, and I'm pretty sure (And I could be totally wrong) they changed their randomizer system.
You used to be cool, four kings. Now I just wish for a new game that does what you used to be.
