Why Planetside 2 isn't more popular?

Y'all managed to convince me to give the game a shot. I played for a while, and while I can definitely see why so many of you enjoy the game, I don't think it's for me. I'm not exactly the greatest at PVP to begin with, so it's definitely a skill issue on my part. But at least I gave it an honest try.

Macro flow is bonkers, balance is bonkers, bugs are bonkers, bases are bonkers, construction is bonkers, tanks are bonkers, infiltrators are bonkers, light assaults are bonkers, this and that weapon is bonkers, zerging is bonkers, esfs are bonkers, orbitals are bonkers, tutorial is bonkers, abrasive players are bonkers, ...

Well yeah, but how about the fact that the game is just too difficult (mechanically, mentally, tactically, and strategically) for the average player? I'd say that is the number one reason for players trying Planetside 2 and then stop playing for good after a short while.

Before you go full NC on me. No, I'm not suggesting to dumb the game down. That would be dumb and given the situation not going to happen anyway. Just acknowledge the fact that every time new player quits, it's not because of a hell zerg full of sweaty Banshees.

Ps. Comments will surely be reasonable. Especially from pilots -like me.

Pss. Shout out to end is nigh since imagine how awesome it is to play some triple AAA "cut scene, on rails, hand holding, cool graphics wanna be FPS" instead of Planetside 2 or Tetris. /rant
