Not going to talk hate at all. I've just posted about how I think we can support further with optional purchases, https://community.thefunpimps.com/threads/how-to-get-more-of-my-money-the-right-way.44656/
Right now I think the Mod 'Rebirth's Purge' is possibly the closest thing to what the Devs were in the beginning hoping to aim for. And it makes the most sense. A story doesn't really do much in the current state of the game, where as a clear the zones ultimate mission does.
Why not keep the game as an open world sandbox do as your please survival? Get it good. And start a 7D2d 2 (Or whatever it would be called) based off the original game with all the elements and 'now' have an actual questing story line. Find the cure, find your family, kill the bad guy line of gameplay? New game could be build from the ground up in newer engines that will be more optimized to run then the current game's capabilities. Would I buy this again as a new game in a new engine and now for a story line? Yes, absolutely.
Just my 2 cents
