Work_ethic,
Well it's good to see that
some effort has in fact been made. I did read that post but was indeed ignorant of these improvements.
My reference to a lack of acknowledgment was regarding this particular thread and the issues raised therein. As for why the PvP changes did not raise the game population, I would say that the job is not finished. Once it is and this game has a reputation for balanced enjoyable PvP, I believe it's numbers will swell. I thank you for the discourtesy at the end of your message. It does give insight to the character of a person who actually opposes improvement.
But back on topic....
Developers,
Your customers would like at least an acknowledgment of the concerns we have with your product. We faithfully, but anxiously await your response.
Thanks so much!
Nocti Forever,

Their job is not done? Excuse me? PvP has been in this game for 2 and a half years. And you feel that their job is not done?
What else would you have them do? You sit their and arrogantly want your concerns and needs addressed but you have yet to say what your concerns and needs are beyond the mythical "balance". What you want would require time and money and man hours that they WILL NOT DEVOTE BECAUSE PVP DOES NOT NOR WILL IT EVER BRING UP THE SUBSCRIPTION NUMBERS. Yet, you sit there and say in bolded words like a loud child you want at least an "acknowledgement of the concerns we have with your products".
I showed you that they acknowledged your concerns with the efforts of Ex Libris in the past year. You read the "Campfire" thread and if you did any research into the cause which you have decided to raise your flag you would that there have seen much "acknowledgement" into your concerns.
Now, we have you saying that if this game can gain a "reputation for balanced enjoyable PvP" you believe it's number will swell. So, off of your "beliefs" the developers should spend more time and more money and more man hours to improve an aspect that has NOT raised the subscription numbers in the past 2 and half years?
No.
They will not. I will tell you why. There is NOTHING else they can do to "fix" or "balance" PvP to suit your needs that will not take probably hundreds of man hours to re-work the game code. That is money, time, man-hours again being WASTED in an aspect of the game that WILL NOT improve the subscrpition numbers. On the other hand, they have taken time, money and man hours to bring out weapon customization, the flashback system, and many numerous other aspects to the PvE majority of the game. Has the number on the PvE aspect grown? No. BUT the number has remained stable. And that stable number is MUCH LARGER than the unstable number of the PvP population. To use Ex Libris own phrase- "she goes where the bleeding is".

Quoted from a few friend's sig's:
Devs: "Why does PvP suck so bad?!"
Players: "Because you guys don't support it at all"
Devs: "We don't support it because there are not enough players doing PvP!"
Players: "We are not PvPing cause you are not supporting it!"
Please explain to me where you absolutely, have no doubt about it, actually [u]know[u] that by spending time on something the Devs spent an entire issue on, only to ignore it later, will never ever, ever, in the entire lifetime of the game, increase the amount of subscribers to the game.
And how can you say the job isn't done? For one, there are so many bugs in PvP at the moment, but, zomg! Their job is done, you can't improve it anymore at all! Lulz, Have you ever seen Hero vs Villain Team PvP, where Heroes will completely dominate the Villains, no matter how good they are? Yet again, you are wrong in speaking in a place where you have no right to speak.
Also, there are MANY things the Devs can do to balance at least Team PvP, such as equalizing PPP's and APP's, for one example.
And to add, I have seen many people reactivate their accounts because of CoX's PvP, and I have seen entire Supergroups quit so they can move to a game where the PvP is actually monitored and popular. But of course, this can't mean that PvP can raise or lower subscription numbers...lulz.
So try again on assuming you know everything there is about CoX and its PvP, when you really, really don't.
