Dear Carbine,
 
I'm on the precipice of unsubscribing from Wildstar and pushing towards using their CREDD system in game with the use of gold ol' dalies and smart economics.
 
But even at that, it comes to the reasons why I don't want to invest in this game anymore. And it was the biggest reason why I joined Wildstar:
 
The community of Developers felt so strongly connected to the community of players. I feel that relationship has disolved and there is a barrier of confusion between players, developers, community team leads and Social Media Mangers. There is no communication what so ever, it seems. There is no hype for what is already in game (did you notice all the snuck in features of costumes, and housing features? I sure as hell didn't but slowly noticed it over time thanks to third party sites- that shouldn't be a low thunder thing, that should be a 'kinda a big deal'). 
 
I feel that waiting for god knows what to fix these on going bugs, instead of using traditional Tuesday maintenances is a huge problem. There are still bugs in game from the Defile drop to this day. Yes, some of the major game breaking ones were quickly addressed- but there are some quality of life ones out there that are still on going.
 
I have no real reason to play. I'm in a small guild- so we can't beat the hard core roster bosses, and doing the same few dungeons/adventures gets boring after a while.
 
There are little to NO PVP queue pops anymore at 50 (I play non-rated, because I feel I don't want to screw my rating up in non-pvp gear). So the biggest game aspect of my enjoyment is non existence in Wildstar.
 
I voice this on the forums, not to rile the masses, but to hope that the community of developers can see this- and give some light. (Player explanation is OK, but I feel Carbine should be able to speak for itself).
 
I watch the Twitch stream, and follow twitter. I feel like they're just commercials and not the core of problems that the game has. The player retention is so low, even post mega server- the game feels small. And I know people ebb and flow with content drops, thanks to the Legacy that World of Warcraft has created in a (terribly bad) trend for other MMO's. 
 
We have ESO right now that has a path way of their content, and hype as hell. There is little to no bugg content, and they are supported by their brand. WIldstar could have this, with some smart economic choices I feel, but it wouldn't be a fast fix that something like (SWTOR/ESO) has with their branding.
 
I do hope to see the game get some kind of cash shop/vanity micro transactions (like housing stuff, exclusive armors, hair styles, character slots, in game faction changes, or even a AH/CC plug for cash)- these things could help the game get the money the developers need. As much as a lot of players 'hate it', it's done other games good. Look at GW2, and their steady stream of content + money flow. (ignoring some grievances of their game play of course, we're talking money/content right now, not over all game play). 
 
 
I don't want to leave Wildstar. There are good players here to hang out. The only thing that really keeps me is the roleplay- and that's not what playing the game is about. I should be able to enjoy game play more then anything, and roleplay be a second filler thing that is equally as fun as the players provide it.
 
I love the active devs on the forums, and twitter. The response generally is ok- but it doesn't feel like the devs are listening as much anymore. And I wonder if it's the team or NCSoft?
 
I hope only for the best.
Very Respectful,Radashii
 
 
PS- Please don't let this game be a Tabula Rasa and die out.

Dear Carbine,

This results in them having a 5$ a month profit. A sub gives that ~$15/month, someone using a CRED for a month gets them $20.

You assume I'm buying the CREDD with money, but instead of using the in game free to play model with platinum from the exchange.
