the competition is dominating battle royale genre, and so can ARK SOTF but it should adapt to the battle royale standards:

1. remake the character creation and models so they are more appealing, they don't have to look DOA hot, but still something more marketable and globally appealing.

2. remove the level system, that just creates an inbalance that becomes more imbalanced as SOTF match progress.

3. have already made weapons and ammo available in generous spots throughout the map.

4.  balance the weapons so they kill in 1-3 hits if ranged, 1-5 hits if melee.   perhaps add a  mechanic where a player with 0 health and not eliminated with a headshot,  enters "downed" status", which gives them a chance to be rezzed by a teammate, or if solo, a chance to recover if they aren't finished off in a few minutes.

5.  balance tames, they cannot level up.  giving them realistic health values and lethal damage numbers based on how potent their attack capabilities are from a realistic standpoint.

taming should be quick and easy to do

6. crafting should be limited to things like building, and building requirements should be low so players can build bases, and other stuff with a quick timeframe.

7.  made the final circle size very very small so remaining players have to fight, and outside of circle should do more damage to encourage fighting inside.

8. make rewards very enticing, like lots of extra beautiful long hairstyles, extra face presets to choose from,  more aesthetics options for player character, and more.  

9. make the UI more seamless so its more quicker

10. players can still kill and get meat from wildlife to eat and heal self.

11. if hunger and thirst mechanics are still in place, make them very slow and difficult to get hungry/thirsty. 

ARK can really make a competitive comeback with SOTF, though they should make it more accessible, and rewarding so people from the best selling competitor come to SOTF.and if people think SOTF can't make a comeback,  FFXIV proved the mmorpg genre that even a disaster can make a comeback with a well designed 2.0 ARK SOTF can take the strengths of its record breaking competitor and improve things further, while removing it's own weaknesses.  So the right ideas can really make SOTF more interesting and inviting to millions of players.

Half of the point of that mode was to make and level everything you got... You either play hard and kill faster than you level, or you play the long game and level yourself up, making the higher end gear.
