Suggesting something on the forums here is just as likely to happen as an asteroid hitting the Earth. Sure, it happens, but thats because they had already planned it to.

Honestly, feedback and events is on like a 4-6 month lag from when it gets introduced by someone and then actually gets implemented. I remember way back when there was a heavy whale on my server requested Hokage Minato to be in events. Said on live streams he would spend massively for it. Took about 5 months of him constantly talking about it before it got implemented. And in an RNG mode where he recharged a lot of it. And didn't get it. Then when he finally came to events (Konoha Great Tree) he recruited him, got him to 5 stars, and got extra frags to get his skill break.

As for what keeps me playing. Just cause I have the spare time for it and it doesnt take up too much of my time anymore. Do my daily stuff in 15 minutes (which only takes that long cause I dont have a jonin medal and 7 minutes of clearing Ninja Exam) then AFK for the 2 hours. Get on for about an hour in the evening for TI/Convoy/Whichever evening events are that night. Used to play for hours, now its barely an hour of gameplay. I'd probably would've quit if it took up anymore of my time. Game's just not as fun anymore on my old server and most of my friends have moved onto other games (or have moved onto a newer server after coming back).

At the end of the day, I still get some satisfaction out of the game, but that is quickly draining.

To be honest? Breeze, Breezy Waifu

I've been waifuing here since the day I first saw her int he selection screen in FB around 2017, and even though sometimes I quit the game because of either some of the players in my server are just too toxic that it made me quit or being too busy with life and stuff, I still ended up coming back and keep maining Breeze even until now. Well sometimes I did switch into other main but that's just to see how well some team can work or something, nothing much.

Also, whenever I see someone shipping her with someone else, I get jelly, even though I got this mindset where everyone has their own version of her and the other mains in their head and they can just do whatever they want. I already made my own version of her as my waifu and... let's just leave it at that if you guys aren't 18 or older.

Not only that, having Breeze as my waifu really motivates me to make my own fanarts of her. I've been drawing fanarts for 3+ years (mid 2017), and I've also been making l3wds for 2+ years (early - mid 2018). So there's another info I guess.

Also, during my 2nd return to the game, I got into a really good group with a lot of nice people and they've been helping me a lot with stuff, so that's another thing that made me keep playing.

I'm just waiting for the day Dosu finally becomes a playable character.

Talking about Dosu reminds me I did one art of him which I still had not digitalized.
I enjoy drawing so much but sometimes I like to draw out of scope too. XD
When it comes to competition, sometimes there is just no way to mark two different styles of artwork on the same basis.
Most artworks have a sort of category, and if you are able to group them properly people will not get confuse.
That is quite important some times, because some people get triggered or inspired by certain kinds of works of art
And they felt a gush of passion of energy to compete their self ! some to prove or to simply want to learn even more !
I do not find that particularly unlikeable side of arts, since arts naturally also invite much critique
Which can be good and/or bad, depending on/for the individual, as some would say "Art lay in the eye of the beholder"
