Issue 13 came out last December. I'm sure you can find one of the other thousand threads on this, if they haven't been purged to make room for the thousands of threads on farming.
If you wait another issue you can see the thousands of threads about how i16 is ruining the game. Of course, I'd expect you to have just discovered the Mission Architect by that time so we can all look forward to you adding to the farming rage then.

The first one is opinion-based, and I must decline answering it.
The last two sound more like rhetorical questions (in a rant-like way) than actual questions that we can give sound answers to.
I'm sorry, but you're citing a lack of "game loving devs" based on PvP changes you don't like? News flash for ya, kid... PvP is pretty much just an afterthought. The "game" is the PvE part.

Damage is now based on activation time. Longer activation = more damage

I don't see what the fuss is, personally. With one exception ( Flight-Air Superiority for Peacebringers ), the pool power attacks are available to everybody...

No, I don't even PvP anymore after they made all the changes.
I just never found out till today that Kick and Jump Kick are such high damaging powers in PvP.
It was shocking to see it at first.
As for the "game loving devs" comment....I just needed to add a Where question haha.

I dabbled occasionally until PvP Recipes. My luck (and choice of powersets...I like AoE characters) was against me anyway. I had no desire to provide special recipes that would make those with better built characters even MORE better built than mine, so that they could trounce me harder and faster later.

mmmm Butterscotch pudding...
I was thinking tapioca, it has more consistency and a tad more 'hold' for fixing things.
However, last night I made myself a double melt teriaki mushroom/swiss burger. Maybe that would fix the issues better, it fixed my tummy in a very fine manner.

Serious Answer:
All powers in PvP were adjusted so that damage was proportional to activation time. All powers.
All this stuff about attacks from Power Pools being inherently weaker since it's from a Power Pool and not a primary attack set was abandoned. All powers are on the same damage per activation formula.

The devs were honestly trying to improve PvP. PvPers responded by leaving. Now they can't even get feedback to fix things.
I thought I remember reading somewhere that this was just a babystep in the direction of a bigger PVP plan. Maybe I'm wrong and I misread something but I thought it was just a step in a revamp.

Yeah, there's no experienced PVPers left to give them thoughtful feedback. Pity.

Technically, it's two exceptions: Warshades can't take that power either.

As far as I know, theoretically, yes. If it doesn't, it should be bugged.

I think because all the PvPers before the change though it was good as it was...myself included.
I honestly don't care now that it has been so long because this is truly an extremely fun game to play just PvEing all the time...but I remember I tried to stick with PvP even after the changes but there would literally be no one in the PvP zone anymore...(on the Protector server)...but yeah it's definitely crazy that at one point all I did was hang in Recluses Victory PvPing all day long and now after the changes I can't even remember the last time I went there.
It's sad but like I said at least PvE is still fun.
