Not agree with you in that. Why faster skilling? So ppl can get 10k in all skills in a few months of playing? What is next goal then? Where is competition?
PE is ment to dure for decades. Not for a short time like other online-games.
I think we need to see more areas in crafting and add more content for ppl who can't spend much time/money into crafting too.

Not sure what you mean by that.

MA needs money for their developments. PE is not a charity, it is something ppl have to pay for. Some players pay more then others, depend of actions ingame.

Agree that we need a renting-system.

Not all gifts are mentor gifts. Anyway, I am agree that they have to see some on the mentor-system. Maybe ppl need to have at least "great" in any pro-standing to be mentor, would be a sollution to the problem?
Also requirement to have diciple on FL?

If it's a matter of players that determines the drop rate, I say we actively create new avis until at least 25% of the population has a mod fap, and the price is brought down to something normal.

This is completly BS. Modified items is something that is ment for only a small % of the participants. If someone didn't want to join PE before now, then sorry for them. It needs to be some advantages for pioneers that helped to build up PE. If ppl didn't have a faith in PE for 2-3 years ago, maybe PE would not exsist today.
I agree that we need to fill the gap between f.ex FAP-110 and Adj FAP, but that is another question. Maybe crafting update next VU will do something with that? Ubers haven't really got skills that cheap. Ppl who have been playing game for 3-4 years also have spent a lot of time working really hard for their items.

It will allways be TT-food when it is easy to make. It is not MA that pays the TT++, it is other participants.

This is a good idea.

This is good if it can be done without breaking any copyright laws.

I feel that support do a good job. Of course, MA could have anounced more warnings about scamming and let ppl protect their client PC's more, but I really think support is better now then they was for around 1 year ago.

Politics can be good, but I guess we will form it with society funcions in the future.

I guess you mean hunting. I am not agree with you on this one. It should be challenging to loot a mob after you kill it. If ppl can't manage to loot the mob, then they shouldn't try to kill it neither.
For general, I would more see an autostack function, where all your loot will autostack in loot-window. Also it could be optional to show your loot-window or not. If no loot-window open, you should get a message in chat-window with loot.

Agree.

Give us a clear signal that we're in this together. We ought to be standing shoulder by shoulder in events. Not just doing it because we can, and because we might be the lucky SOB who loots something worth a monthly paycheck, but no in-game use whatsoever.

Not sure what you mean with this.

Agree, still there are some use for components. Sure it will be more components and more use next VU, hopefully.

Bridge is interesting. I don't agree with you on this one. About 50% revenue, I am sure it is because of wrong gameplay.

At times MOBs run right through me. This most likely will be due to lag, but is irritating as hell. I will be swinging my axe at thin air.

I lost an item more than once this week. When I relog it'll be back, though. In itself innocent enough, but not when this concerns a FAP-50 that would have saved my ass had it worked.

The auction is still fucked. GSIs show up as other chips, with weird descriptions. All clothes are uncolored.

I've still had fake shots/fapping happen. My gun will shoot, my fap will move, but nothing happens. While I don't have 10k Aim, I do believe I'm at a skill level where I ought to do at least 1 dam.

I still at times get attacked by a non-radar, non-visible mob that does me 1 damage. While I can live with that, either I ought to get secondary skills, or it shouldn't happen at all.

I agree that they have to concentrate about bug-fix. However, they have done this last year and game has much less bugs now then before. If someone remember sliding mobs, crafting hang/freeze, revival stuck, flying mobs, CTD's, invetory disepear, etc. (also maintanence tuesdays and downtimes )
