Seriously Cryptic/PWE... PVP is part of your end game too!

When I log in, you still see people looking for farm runs, but for the majority of players they have done all the content available multiple times and if other players are like me, ALL I do when I get on is pvp...
Why do I say this? Well its because I know others feel this way too and I want Cryptic to not only add content in PVE, but to also add more pvp content.
Why is PVP content important? Well for ALOT of players it currently the only thing to do, and even when the new expansion comes out a vast majority of players still want to PVP.
Whats the Problem with PVP currently? Besides some of the balance issues between classes. The issues with PVP are that there is only ONE game type available (including GG). There are only TWO 5v5 maps and only ONE 20v20 map. Since most people started pvping early on, it is the SAME maps that we keep on playing. This gets boring quickly. We really need some new maps.
Isnt there enough incentive to pvp currently? No. Most players have already capped Glory at 25k, they dont need the T1 PVP gear and there is no reason to PVP except to compete with people, the most exciting matches are premade vs premade. We need a ranking system! This will go a LONG way in preserving the competition.
Wont we (Cryptic/PWE) make more money if we keep pumping out new PVE content to make players happy? and more zen items too! Maybe... But I would HIGHLY suggest that a majority of players pay money to get better gear. Whether they get better gear to run more PVE dungeons to get even better gear, or just get better gear to then go and beat their friends/opponents in PVP, the key is that it almost always comes back to PVP. People want to play against other players to see who is better.
This is ALL reasons why we NEED:
1) More Gametypes for PVP
2) More Maps for PVP
3) A ranking system for PVP
If you total how many man hours went into the new expansion, I bet it would FAR exceed how many hours it would take to create 2-3 more maps, create 2-3 more gametypes to pay on those maps (even a capture the flag setup would work with the current 5v5 maps... so would deathmatch... And how hard would it be to create a ranking system... Cant be hard...
If you do these things, this game will definitely get a "second wind" and you will see more players come back and log on more often and spend more real cash...
If you dont fix pvp, you are SEVERELY hurting potential growth of this game and the longevity since people will ALWAYS run through your PVE content and eventually be bored, its inevitable, but even 1 pvp map can be used over and over and over, especially with different game types too... It makes for a FAR more interesting end game.

There's just nothing left in it. I haven't done a PvP match in weeks.
I seriously cant see how hard it would be to create a few new maps AND game types... I mean seriously... They are small maps that you only need to make HALF of it, then duplicate it for the opposing side...
Join us on Test Server for fun tomorrow if you enjoy PvP.
I might come, although dont know who all wants to go from our guild...
1- team deathmatch (varying from 2v2,3v3,4v4,5v5,10v10)
2- everyone for him/herself (thunderdome ftw)
3- capture the flag (would be pretty neat, and make the flag visible even if capped by a rogue, we dont want smartasses getting the flag and running away in setalth)
4- king of the hill (1 flag, and the team that holds it longer wins)
and some new maps.
