Hey carbine just me here, miss you guys a lot
 
I know it's probably getting so annoying hearing the majority of your customers complain that there hasn't been a large enough population since 2-3 months after release when your PVP community started unsubbing, but I was just wondering if you guys were going to do anything about that.  Seems like new drops, gear changes, and whatever else has been taking your time over there at the big carbine studios (nerf gun fights) isn't working so I was hoping you guys would maybe give us all a message of hope.  Hearing people who have been die hard wild star fans since the beginning of time say that they don't feel they are getting their moneys worth should at least be enough.  
 
Thanks all

			Population seems fine... always plenty of people in Thayd when I play, and I know a lot of folks who came back for drop 4.. so, it looks like the answer to your "going to do anything about it" question.. is yes.

			Ya population is totally fine we are all on one server and there are still virtually no arena q pops

Yes the population is on one server each region. THe problem is that there is an empty server remaining. What are carbine going to do with them?
 
It's not really very good for prospective new players...
 
And dungeon q's, pbgs, arenas they're all slow...

"What is Carbine going to do" about you still choosing to opt out of using the free server Xfer feature?

Pretty sure they already moved. https://forums.wildstar-online.com/forums/index.php?/topic/122000-rip-luminai-we-miss-you-already/?hl=luminai
 
All these "Population issue" "F2P" threads right now are coming from the PvP community (If you can call our low numbers a community) because basically we've been neglected up the rowsdower. From the one way transfers, from exploits, from lack of incentives, from lack of basic structure PvP. Only recently did they remove the gear rating so we could FINALLY queue up for PBG. Basically the PvP community is venting its frustration, after the Townhall, I don't blame them, we were basically told, we're trying to get some of this stuff into patches but in the end, Soon™ .

If that's where the "F2P" nonsense is coming from, then I would rather that Carbine continue to allocate the majority of their resources towards improving PvE. Instead of PvP. A form of gameplay that's always and rightfully been down on the list in Primarily PvE MMOs, for years. As you can tell by my tone, I couldn't give two squirts of *cupcake* about PvP in this game. Or any PvE MMO, really. Especially if it's going to cause a slowly recovering PvE MMO to rush out content, trip themselves up with bugs, and ruin to for the rest of the playerbase. Because a loud minority wants what's planned and low on the To-Do-List "now".
 
That being said while I don't care for it, fixing PvP in general, in order to reduce the crying from PvPers isn't a bad thing. Here's hoping Carbine comes through enough (on their end, because whiners are never satisfied).

You hear it first Wildstar is a PvE only MMO.
 
 
Also what is two squirts of cupcake I can't stop thinking about it

Well don't worry, the whiners will disappear, some of them have already unsubbed :/ Game had potential but after 6 months of no PvP content (I'm counting sabotage, even though it never pops) our community has walked out, worry not much longer.

Try quoting my whole post. Especially the part where I said that this is Primarily a PVE MMO. Not "only a PvE MMO".

Some days it seems to take forever, some days are poping. Saturday was PvP night I guess cause I was getting back to back. I couldn't grab a dungeon to save my life. 
 
More players is never a bad thing, I leave it up to my Guild leader to sort them out :-)

			Nope! Remember: this is a HARDCORE! game. Anything else is just charity for the lesser beings!

It turns out that MMORPGs have to appeal to a diverse playerbase if they're going to maintain a large enough revenue stream to get continued development. PvP that's in as horrific a state of disrepair as this game currently has is not typical of AAA MMORPGs, which this game's budget firmly places it in.
 
I would think that those factors alone should be enough to make every person playing this game concerned about the state of PvP here, whether they do it or not.

A tremendous focus on PvP (Wildstar best combat of 2014) would open this game's playerbase tremendously.  Right now, PvPers are staying away from this game.  When you make this game an active and worthwhile PvP game as well, you'll also find yourself more overlap with crafters, PvE, daily runners, etc.
 
Overall it's pretty silly not to focus on PvP to an extent.  I think it's understandable that they had to up their PvE subs first so the game didn't get the axe, but now that it's time for PvP, it needs to be the time for PvP!
