Can u tell us, if devs talk about our "profession" ?!

Do they are going to involve ous PA system ? Adding new things...

Because i don't see a lot of devs in their forums I think they have a lot of more importants things to do.

But do u have informations about the patch concerning the GCW ?! Maybe, they put some stuffs with it ?!

I hope u'll be able to answers a few of my questions.

Thx Jascentia for u're job.

A guild leader

You're right in feeling that most things are higher priority than PAs. Jedi, Professions, Crafting, PvP, all of those things get people more emotionally charged up than the PA system. I haven't met a guild leader that wouldn't like some improvements to PAs... however, the fact remains that there are *plenty* of PAs in existance. New players get gobbled up by them all the time. Tons of them compete for members and dot the landscape with PA Halls. So, in this respect, giving enhancements to the PA system is much less important than fixing a profession that people are starting to drop and ignore!

So long as the PA System doesn't completely break, there will always be PAs, and so it works. It could work *so* much better, and that's what I'm here for. I tell the devs how much better it can work, what we want the most, and nudge them until they fit us into their extremely busy schedule. Yet, this position probably requires more patience than any other because any crisis that comes up for the devs to fix is going to be put ahead of making new stuff just for PAs.

So, our hopes for the PA System will continue to be a long term investment. I do have good communication withThunderheart. He occasionally asks questions about guildstuff, and I always try to chime inon how adjustments to the game will impact guilds. For example, when they proposed being unable to sellcontainers on vendors I opposed this sternly because I knew it would impact commerce between guild members.But, totally new code to improve something that isn't severely broken is still on the back burner.

I know some say that they don't really see a reason to join a guild because there are so few features. I know some have heard comments like "why should I join a guild? Its just a chat room." Yet these opinions are the minority.There is no shortage of guilds or people who are willing to join them. Thus, new code comes slowly to any system that isn't totally in the gutter.

The GCWand greater involvement of PAs may be the firstopportunity to really see something new for us. But, I am not going to hold my breath. Until its on Test Center, I don't advocate being excited about anything for PAs. I hope that gives somewhat of an overview regarding where we're at.

Really thank for your answer. It gives me answers to my questions. I hope that coming GCW patch will be an opportunity for us to have new things for PA system.

In this way, can you say me, if devs have planned to put some controls territories ?

Because we need to be more important in the GCW !

I just want to say, that you make a lovely job, and you're so helpful to community ! If i can help you, i'll be done with pleasure ! I'm french, and can be the correspondant with the french comunity !
