To be honest, let's just downgrade PG3D all the way to 7.1.0 since it's simply going to make the game great again.
But yet again, Rilisoft is gonna get a crapload of hate if they do this.

Not just because they're in Russia. Russia has a financial crisis currently so they need money to live. They're humans, people like you.

Money in general is hard to get. And with Russia in a financial crisis,everyone there is probably trying their best to ge money. It's not easy running a company. And with a crisis going on in your country,it just makes things worse.

They have to get money somehow. And if you think the updates are crap,then dont update XD. And plus they could make the updates much worse.

Russia's hardly in a crisis, it's just Western media going "OH THESE SANCTIONS WE PUT ON RUSSIA TOTALLY WORK! TRUST US!" The only real thing they actually messed up was Izhmash (now Kalashnikov Concern), they aren't in any real crisis.
Also, the hate originates from RiliSoft saying they'd fix the game. But in contrary, the developers (RiliSoft) have been saying this while organizing the game into a P2W fest. It's hilarious.
To all who are tired of the game or left: Why not play another game like Blockstorm (if you're into the concept of Minecraft-style FPS) or Contract Wars? No PC? No problem. There are many alternative FPS in the iOS/Android market that are balanced and fair.
I feel no hate for the developers, just apathy. The hackers will overrun the game which will scare away new players and once the healthy non-cheating cycle of players get tired of spending their cash when they could be easily destroyed by hackers, they'll run out of business.
I also doubt RiliSoft will be able to produce another good game.

Simple answer: Profit.
Consider how overpriced gems are, I could purchase the most expensive pack of gems and it would only get me one good gun at full upgrades AT BEST. Then you do a gem sale at random occasional intervals, with a reasonable price for a reasonable amount of guns and upgrades.
The reality is, the sale is the proper price of gems but they amplify it to get impulse buyers (kids with their parents' credit cards) to pay a ton for the game and pay even more once a sale occurs. To non-paying players, sales are their opportunity to coerce non-paying players into being paying players. Geddit?
Bottomline is: There is no actual point in purchasing a gun in PG3D because every monthly update, the developers release a gun *STRONGER* than it or *COOLER* than it in an attempt to get you to ditch that $50 gun you just paid for and buy the new $60 gun they just released. That's how it works and it works for now because of two factors:
1.) The target audience is kids aged 8-14 (Minecraft is notorious for attracting 2000s kids)
2.) Impulse buying (Release new guns -> Wait for people to pay for the new gun with the ridiculously expensive gems -> Sale -> Release new guns better than older guns and repeat.)
TL;DR: Gems are intentionally overpriced and they use x3 Gem Sales to coerce non-paying players into paying then get hooked into paying. They also release a better than than the current best gun monthly/bi-monthly to make sure you buy it and keep them sitting on a pile of money.

Well,.... it's simply business.
I would say keep campaigning stop complaining, we can still pressure them to change.

You've done all the campaigning possible. If you actually want to pressure them, the best idea of concept is to hack the game and torment as much paying players as possible which would make the cycle run faster. Less Profit = More willingness to listen

Sounds a bit risky though...they might just cancel the whole thing.
But to be honest I agree

I'm glad that you have raised some of these points because it is important to be both respectful yet mindful of the actions of rilisoft in how they choose to sell their game. They are a business and their primary goal is to sell their product for us much as someone is willing to pay for it and as many times as they are willing to pay for it. Of course there are other ways for them to go about this however I am not in a position to tell someone how to run their business, we can only influence our own decision making.
Here you have outlined their policy on achieving their goal, it is not very creative or popular but I'm sure they feel it is the best most efficient way to make money out of this game much like many other top grossing mobile games. Until people start to realise that the game is simply trying to resell them essentially the same product, the game will continue to focus on finding new ways of selling premium content. I believe that is why they stopped the renting of guns because they realised that they would need to sell more in the future and it would not make sense to have a rentable weapon that is less powerful than one that can be bought. As you pointed out though, the target audience are 8-14 year olds so the chances of this happening are slim.
I'd like to thank you for pointing these issues out because they needed to be said, now if others choose to acknowledge the points you have made that is their business.
