Ppl dont quit since its hardcore, imo this game is far from hardcore. One could most prolly make it hardcore by staying up whole night as u mentioned and be there for every tick but theres no need for it - this game dosent have a need for such thing.

Ppl quit cos it has become more boring, nothing new has been added, player`s ingame actions get restricted by every round and things like that, not that its hardcore..

this is just my opinion ofc..

im also pro for things that make lives easier for new players - faster startup, etc.. but this thing is not helping new or less active players even 1 bit..

on the contrary it might even make it worse for em, since now if they hit a planet (usually smaller planets in smaller more inactive gals) its alot more likely they get defended against if their target has an alliance. Even if whole gal is sleeping/away and noone is around to press the "Report" button theres no elemnent of surprise (or however u call it). The attacker has lost his edge on that attack into an inactive gal and maybe even dies due to having def and no scans or whatever the scenario turns out to be.

Also one thing about prelaunch that i wanted to add.. imo that also can be one reason why WE actually NEED to get up during nights.. as if there was no PL less ppl would b sending during nights, more fleets would b sent in the morning/day/evening and the battles might be more spread throughout the whole day.. thats only assumption here, just a thought ive had concerning prelaunch.
