Meh.. I'm one of the minority who have always believed that we get plenty of attention from Aerelick. However, I come from a game where fixes and updates for game breaking PvP issues happened every 2 years at the soonest. There are some issues and exploits that have been ignored since 1997. I'm content.. more development attention is definitely not a bad thing. :)

I'll remain positive. But, the PvP community is very difficult to please. Please 1 person and **** off 20 others. Nobody is happy unless they always win and never die. Its a thankless job and requires a very tough skin and an iron fist. I've moderated PvP forums before.. which by no means is even close to the punishment that Developers get from the community. And, I drank heavily, kicked cats and punched infants at the end of each day.

We'll see what he's got. But, the reason there is rarely a developer, in any game, assigned specifically to PvP, is that it is impossible to balance it completely. The only way to balance PvP completely, to the player's satisfaction, is to have them sit down to a game of Tic-Tac-Toe each fight. ;)
