Sales/Imbalance/Caring about the players

Hi PW, I hope someone from the staff actually agrees with my statements, as I am sure most players do.
First, I would like to say, that despite these comments, I believe PW is a wonderful game, and I have been playing it for several years.
-Place less emphasis on sales. I know that the Boutique and Zhen is the only place PW can earn its money. However, I do not think it is necessary to have so many sales as PW does now. For example, the Rank Gear Sale, although does eases everyone's opportunity of getting rank9 gear, also destroys the value of the players who have paid 10 times more for the same equipment before the sale. The sales disrupt the balance in the game.
-Fix other imbalances in this game. Aside from the sales, I am refering almost specifically to powerleveling (by running Frostcovered City with hyper stones at low levels). Some players spend years getting to level 100, while others who powerlevel spend about one week to get the same level, while not learning anything about the game. These people who level too quickly do not appreciate the patience it requires in this game, and therefore lose interest and quit. I do not think that that is what the staff of PW would want. Although powerleveling is very fun, we all know that it is not a fair way to level. My suggestion is to put a limit on who can enter the Frostcovered City dungeon (for example 75). People under this level will not be allowed to enter, and therefore will not be allowed to powerlevel.
-Very often, people post negative comments on the PWI home page news feed. I would like these negative comments to actually be responded to, as these players are legitimately angry or confused at the way PWI is run. For instance, some people reply how much they hate the sales, or why rank gear for new classes did not come out, or why barbarians cannot wear head fashion. I simply want PWI to step out and post something so that players understand why everything is done the way they are, so that nobody gets mad.
-The token shop in CORE Connect from achievement points. That is a wonderful feature that has huge potential, in my opinion. In the near future, please add more items we may obtain from it.
-I cannot place an unbiased opinion about assassins, but although they are not indestructable, they are definitely agreed to be "the ultimate class" at high levels. The same amount of money spent in any other class vs an assassin will usually result in a better assassin. Many players leave their main characters to play assassins, which bothers some people. I would not so much say limit their skills, but instead there could be added features to other classes (i.e. skills or benefits) in order to balance out the class distributions. Is this a possibility?
That is all that I can ask from PWI at this moment. Again, I believe this is a wonderful game. Please let me know if this post makes a difference. I have spent a long time pondering over these aspects of the game, and a reply/message would mean a lot to me. b:pleased

It won't. No suggestion made on the forums for the past 3 years ever has. It's a complete waste of time to suggest -anything-.0 -
well i wouldn't go so far as to say NOTHING has ever been added from the suggestion box lol. players cried for the horns to go and there were suggestions for allainces (altho the allaince systems atm fails)
these are very good suggestions but the chances of anyone doing them is slim to none. because no matter what we QQ about the simple fact of the matter is, we the players keep falling into their little trap. dispite how much QQ there is about the items in the mall, most players most likly turn right back around and make use of the sale. you can't blame PWE totally, if the players would stop cash shopping so much and impact their profits, PWE would be more inclined to listen, but we all know that won''t happen.
as for the imbalances and bugs, i can't help but wonder what the heck the devs do most of the time. i wouldn't be surprised if 75% of them focus on cashshop item making, 24% on expansions and 1% on bug fixing. seriously in all the free to play games i played i never seen such a open disregard for fixing such serous issues. bugs have been around from 2008 and have yet to be fixed. i may not know anything about coding, but i sure as hell know for a fact that by now the sins should have been balanced and most if not all of those old bugs should have been squashed.0
