Happy with locks in PVP?

All I need is a single post saying you think warlocks are balanced in PVP and I will quit this game. You know very well the issues claimed by the class, most layed out in the Q&A Warlock's thread

Just tell me that demo, destro or even aff will be receiving no major changes or buffs in the immediate future (next 2 months) and I'll have no reason to stick around wasting my life on this hopeless dream of a game that is fair and fun.

Not asking for details on future plans just simply to know if there are future plans for the warlock class in PVP. If you have nothing in the works now, please be a man and say this-

"We believe warlocks to be fair and balanced in PVP at this time. We are not currently constructing original, fun, or substantive alterations to increase the level of PVP viability of locks"

We are not happy with warlocks in PvP. Their Arena representation is too low.

We don't lock threads that are on topic and generally professional. This one is borderline on the QQ side. Nobody is coming to these forums to read about how you feel you've suffered at the hands of the malicious developers who hate or don't understand your class. There is no information in such a thread for players -- it is a one-sided dialog that can only be answered by the developers, and we don't have the bandwidth to respond to every such thread. Make sense?

If you have issues you'd like to discuss, bring them up. If you have done so, then consider your job done. You don't need to keep bringing them up and you don't need to ask every few days if we've read them. Threatening to quit isn't an effective bargaining chip. We have no idea if you really would or why and in any case, we can't be in a situation where every time someone makes a threat to leave that we run an implement their change in a desperate attempt to get them to say. Obviously, we hope you'll choose to stick around.

If you have specific questions that you are very interested in having answered, the CMs have posted threads in the various class forums where you can ask them. We are going to try that as an approach so that players don't feel like issues which are important to them are never addressed.

Q u o t e:
Asking questions in those threads don't make us feel any better if we don't get answers.


Be that as it may, I'm not sure it's a realistic expectation that every question asked by the community gets a direct answer from the developers. I am not yet aware of a company that has been able to provide that service, but we'll keep trying. :)

Your typing says one thing, but the class changes drown out those words.
