This is the market telling SE that they don't want a Action game from them.
They have to go back to having more RPG elements, and preferably dropping the action-lite rpg root as well.
Go back to turn base please SE.

Stop chasing new audiences! (at the cost of your old ones) 
Just give your fans what they want, and make each game better than the last, and things will slowly grow.
Also stop reinventing the wheel. If you want to grow a fan-base, there needs to be consistency with how the games look/feel/play.

It should be obvious, to most everyone.

Couldn't have said it better! Spot on!!!
