ParadoX

"While PvP is our primary focus when designing content" I see this as one your largest problems to date not everyone wants to grind for eternity only to have some mega company roll your base you spent so much time on, kill your tames, and sink your boats to get at your 200 gold you managed to scrounge up in PvP. If PvP is the main direction of the game then perhaps uninstallation is the direction I might head. No one crafts BPs because it takes an absurd amount of time to farm the materials needed for them. On PvE you used to have the time to do that now you take the absurd amount of time to collect everything, finally craft it, and the devs wipe the servers making it a complete waste of time. I can't imagine trying to collect the mats and then making these BPs on PvP only to go to sleep and wake up to your boats and bases gone. More people would make BPs if the time wasn't weeks to farm materials for them, it's not the loot that sucks its the ability to actually craft them thats the problem.

They "support" the loan wolves - right and I am the pope

It is truly sad where this game has gone and how much disdain the developers show for PvE players. Do they even stop to think of who might be playing PvE and enjoying the game. I have kids and we play on PvE to avoid getting our base and tames wiped by over powered companies before we can even get a start in the game. If you are a small or solo company then PvP is nearly impossible and more for those who like to flog themselves to sleep at night. PvE WAS fun until they started wiping servers on a regular basis, what is the point of playing and building up, breeding, and general character development if the devs are going to come along and wipe it all whenever they feel the need. Would love to PvP in this game but again if you are not in a large company you might as well quit before you start it's not worth it and devs could care less about player experience, we are all just test monkeys for them.
