the new classes like gunner/warrior is another reason why pvp died, bkac when we WL and SF was out it wasnt op until some skill patches, but gunner and warrior, the day the come out is when the players go out of the game. PvP is long gone, geared pvp is no longer a battle of skill vs patience but more of if your a whale or not. Also the new skill tree is already a killer towards some builds that go would go with pvp, you are limited with different path and locked skills on that. What's not dead in this game is the players that bother to play this and make points on forum on what could (Should) be improved but posts like this are defended with White knights and more or less deleted by mods to (not cause any fights).
I saw a game that died called Cabal2, they disabled forums and linked it into facebook page, you could see complains over the comments and white knights would defend but when they annouced that the game is shutting down the whiteknights turned AGAINST them! If Devs/Mods and whoever will keep ignoring players that do bother with this game and actually list things that could be improved then the same thing might happen here. Maybe one day they will realize that it's time to fix the game instead of giving players more DaMaGe and HeAlTh for reason that they can't think of any creative way to give more content other than that.
