'' hey have less reason to leave than Robert Carlyle had in season 4. I mean Rumple was written terribly and had no foucs and pretty much could have died and ended there. ''

I really didn't have any problems with Rumpel in Season 4. I had no problems with his regression, after the Neverland arc. People do regress morally. It's nothing new. And one act doesn't automatically redeem you, as we've seen with both Regina and Snow. But his character became redundant, once Emma became the new "Dark One". That's the problem.
