see Carbine locked the leveling post for Tony. It's a crying shame.
This was a great chance to spotlight some of the games pitfalls and trials,
that playing a front loaded damage class can hide. I would have loved seeing
a Carbine employee play an esper zero to fifty and see Geist or Swarm pull mobs
15-20 feet behind him or watch him deal with trying to handle all of that garbage stated gear leveling. Ss and Esper can use some love in end game. Say what you will, but the proposed forth coming changes to the classes
don't really address their needs fully. Look at the damage logs for elder game and explain to me why the glass cannon classes are middle of the road to lower tier. Having an employee actually level an Esper was a chance to get some dev attention to much needed areas imo.

This post makes no sense to me, but maybe I'm not understanding your intention.
 
The thread you're referencing was an unmasked attempt to drag Tony into the Luminai population problem. It had nothing to do with what you're talking about here. Also, they're polling to see what players want in terms of class played, so your suggested 'opportunity' is being handled as an opportunity— just of a different type.
 
Also, in before the lock for posting a thread about a locked post.
 
edit: ignore post, erroneous

			They locked the voting after 5 days of voting, and the morning of the day of the podcast itself. If what you wanted to win wasn't winning, it wasn't going to.

OP is talking about the pinned thread. Not the thread where everyone is demanding Tony to roll on the Lumidead server.

No apology necessary my friend, I can see how it was easily misunderstood.As an aside to to address a few things mentioned in the conversation above, I truly do sympathize with the plight of the EU pvp community. I don't pvp much these days but I was one of the first rogue grand marshall/highwarlord players in WoW back when ranking was introduced. I accomplished that with no guild and on a pvp server so it was a huge amount of honor kills that I had to amass over that time. I love pvp on the whole, so I mean that wholehearted when I say its a true shame.
 
One can argue honestly that population is lacking overall across all servers as many have addressed on various threads. Unless there is an influx of players I don't see how they can address this but I am more than confident in saying I am certain the company is aware of it, regardless of if they can fix it in time. I love the game and the company but sadly I don't see time as a resource they have much of. I hope I am wrong here. Game play and class balance issues will still be there in the end to raise their ugly heads regardless. :(A curious thing though and something I found interesting <also a passing nod to @ Lemurian> .. I last checked voting right before going to bed at 2:30 pacific amEspers were a mere 1 vote behind and Dominion was a healthy % far above Exile. Magically this morning both SS and Exile gained several votes ahead, after days of the polls not budging much at all (and by much I mean often merely a vote in one favor or another if any). I payed close attention to it, as I had a suspicion that Exile would naturally win since it appears to the outside eye that its a favored faction by the majority of the studio. Imagine that :)
