I'm sure they know what they could do at this point, it's a matter of weighing whether or not it's worth it. Surely most people treat the Crucible as a means to an end, not there for the actual experience. Low population screams terrible experience when only serious people are the ones [i]consistently playing[/i]. People love scapegoating CBMM without looking at the bigger picture of the situation that Destiny has a terrible PvP and lots of people don't want to play it. People constantly complain over having to do anything in it even if it's the bare freaking minimum. MM is doing what it can, but PvP sucks and it can't change that, no sense that a complete 180 again will magically bring people in. They'll do what they reasonably can to keep it from being completely unplayable. The complainers about Stasis finally got what they asked for. It makes sense too because giving people the ability to freeze each other is obnoxious. Ever hear of the Conclave? It lacked any necessary reason to play, and as such, no one really played it. It wasn't exactly a great PvP experience due to the mechanics of the game itself not really suiting a PvP environment, even with a unique sandbox. The ones that still play are the dedicated and reside on a discord server because it's so empty that matchmaking is hopeless. Thankfully for them, they can still get rewards while doing so unlike a Private match here would.
