...because the devs did this intentionaly? So 'known issue' really means 'devs did it on purpose'?.....riiiiiggghhhhttt
Thorny, I think you are overreacting a bit here. I doubt that the OP tried to blame the Dev's for anything here. He probably noticed the issue and imagined that some people could indeed blame the Dev's for this.
If I were you, I would wait for someone to pop up and claim:
What, no WL in PO and mercy? This is an outrage, how da.....
[insert rant of choice here]
...... cancel my account now!
That would be a good target for your earlier post.
Just my two cents.

This is the Interwebz, not the real world. People always overreact and assume the worst. People will have no dealings with rationality and common sense here.

It's a known issue because this was a PLAYTEST. I'm sure that it will be fixed. I'm sure that they had their datamining on overdrive last night to make sure that it is working the way that they want it to. It's coming down today,so consider last night a head start and relax.

Hatred?
Utter nonsese!
This is simply Paragon Studios showing us what we knew all along; that villains are superior.
They know that, unlike the delicate heroes who need to have their hands held for practically everything, villains have the strength and determination to reach a threat level suitable for Cap au Diable in no time.
Why else would Villians have to fight for their patron powers while heroes have them handed to them on a plate?
None can deny our superiority, not even the developers. 
Ddddddddooooooooooooooooooommmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!

This is like having Ra's Al Ghul show up at your birthday party.

This is simply wrong. Totally, undeniably wrong.

If the devs really hated villains, the next update would be called "City of Heroes: Redemption" and only allow villains to "see the error of their ways" and become heroes.
Just a random thought during the last week of classes (English translation: When my brain is a bubbling mass of goo).

People go to Mercy and Port Oakes? o_o
I thought those were tutorial zones!
(Well, I'm obviously kidding, but seriously... no one goes to Mercy Island or Port Oakes.)

I could have sworn there was a WL in PO last night on Freedom.

It was a dev operated one - they were waiting for Villain players to get excited at finding one there, then they were going to bust out their epic dev powers.|

If you looked closely, you'd have seen the WL had "hate" and "more hate" tattooed on its knuckles.

I'm not a high enough SG rank to do that, so...
I think the last time I went to Port Oakes on a toon that wasn't leveling there was either to hunt for the Gangbuster Badge, or to meet up with someone's lowbie alt for an RP scene...
Cap is pretty much the Villainous version of Atlas Park anyway, it just comes at a higher level, so it lacks the centralization of Atlas Park.
(If you look at it, it is the "Hub" of the Rogue Isles. You can access every city zone, Bloody Bay, Cimorea (though the university) and the RWZ. The Black Market is always populated. There's a University and Midnighter Club Access, as well as Origin Stores. Plus it's one of the nicest looking zones in the Rogue Isles. Oh, and there's the huge Globe. TAKE THAT ATLAS! OUR GLOBE IS BIGGER!)
I can't take it any more... "Proof" is uncountable, so you can't have another of it. You can only have more of it.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry!

No, No, No. This is PROOF that the Devs LOVE villains.
Allow me to explain.
We villains HATE Mercy. Our hate for that festering wasteland is so strong that we refuse to spend any more time there than absolutely necessary. Because the Devs love us so much, they have decided that the Winter Lord will not spawn there. This removes any need for us to return to that squalid pit of hopelessness (except to run "O Wretched man again".)
Now Port Oakes, we don't mind Port Oakes that much. We're actually kind of fond of it. Mainly because it's not Mercy. Still, becuse it is so close to THAT place, the Dev's decided not to let the WL spawn there just to keep us from accidentally using the wrong ferry and ending up back in....Mercy.
Nope, the Dev's love villains. This proves it.
