I don't exactly play much anymore, but this was my first game that had a community with it, so it became a 2nd home.
I used to play a lot until they banned account selling in 2010. Then they limited the amount of qi you could get in a day, so anything passed 100 games would be pointless. And playing with friends in fun mods you could get 100 games in an hour or so, so we moved on, took up single player, did that for a few years and enjoyed watching others make them instead so I stopped. Can't say the game sucks, because there will never be another like it. Those who claim it sucks just don't see how good it CAN be. But youtube openers etc etc. Complain because they lost, then copy your opener, lose again and say the game sucks.
It's a matter of knowing what to do and how the game works. Its not the game that sucks, its you.
