It's not so much the plots as much as it is the atmosphere, I suppose? Everything feels stale lately, as opposed to the way things moved a year ago. It just doesn't feel like you can jump into just anything these days, even if the plots are meant to be all inclusive. You have to have certain CR or know certain people to get involved.

It might also have to do with the complete overhaul in the modding team compared to a year ago, but yeah.
