To the OP's points about game imbalance, DoK vs WP is accurate, however the squig herder is not a direct counter to the shadow warrior. You compare them to engineers.

No. The engineer's mirror class is the magus.

According to Mythic - SW is the mirror for Squig Herder. As daft as it is to mirror a pet class with a non-pet class. Same dumb deal with White Lion and Marauder.

 All they need is to get some good gfx engine Devs and letting them work it out until performance and graphics are not so problematic, static and plain.

Adding a third Realm could be fine and going to a more suitable fee such as LotRo's did.

Lingering by little changes won't make the game better. Mythic needs to put an extra effort to do this. 

Many people would go back to WAR as it is one of the better PvP games ever.

They need to use the Hero Engine that The Old Republic is using. Guarantee people will come back in a flash because they like pretty things.

It's just not even remotely possible to add a third faction - plus it would never be approved I'm sure. Every zone would have to be completely reworked as well as all the mechanics like raiding cities. They could probably make a new RvR mmo with 3 factions in half the time it would take to make WAR 3 factions.

1.3.2 did nothing to this game, it is still borken =o(

Back to AoC atleast they are fixing things. hell i would go back to WoW before i even think about WAR again wasn't  worth re subbing for level of s*** this game still has in it.

I agree that it won't happen, but there is no reason  GW wouldn't allow such a change.

It would have been truer to the IP to have six factions, than two.

I don't really know how they would work 3 factions. Six yeah, that would work with the I.P..

DAOC was a different game and was a totally different I.P.. As is, it makes a lot more sense to have two factions, than it would to have three. Maybe that's just me...

I think DAoC fans have too much faith in a 3rd realm as a panacea for this game. I haven't played it, but I have heard that sometimes, the top two realms just crush the third one. That's no improvement.

All that is needed to fix realm population balance is to put in balanced login queues. Fixed.

3rd realm, is always good as long as there all enemies.

It worked that way at times, at others if one realm was all powerful, the other two would team to take them down. However, I agree that's not the answer to fixing WAR. 

Besides the I.P. issues with three realms the game is constructed differently with a more streamlined approach than DAOC had to hot spots. I think a lot of it is people wanting DAOC2, which makes it hard to accept this game being different.

im just happy to see the population increasing and the devs finally fixing things that they should have. They at least have admitted theirs faults. Thats better than most even though i have a feeling bioware had alot to do with the improvements as of late.

What? Saying it doesn't make it true.

I think Mark Jacobs' absence is likely the cause, although the top guys might have put the fear of God into Mythic's devs in order to wake them up.
