They weren't talking about gameplay, they were saying minecraft as a whole. Don't know about you but how a server is moderated is a pretty big part of how you play on that server
Ehhh, my main argument would be that the game is constantly getting easier, and another less subjective reason it's gotten worse would probably be that they don't devote enough time to optimization, so the game runs worse every update.
The gameplay itself is getting easier and easier. I personally like a challenge in my games and even hard mode is getting too easy. There are also a lot of new systems that you practically never see use. Starting from the whole conduit thing to the newer archeology, it just doesnt seem worth it to put that much effort to get so little.
the chat reports and skin reports are just other problems. Not making up the bulk of the problems but still there.
It's minecraft, you can upload just about anything to be your skin, including for example a Hitler skin. It's not some microtransaction skin you paid for.
