With the last VU we got another graphics update, which brought us visual improvements majority of players most likely can't see (simply because they play on low settings and can't care less about em anyway) and even for those who could see the difference was neglible. What everyone could experience was more bugs and messed up icons. If the intent was to piss off as many ppl as possible the VU definitely achieved it's purpose.
VU before that brought us a new design for a mission tracker that most players consider worse than the old one. Again, nothing the playerbase has asked for was adressed and instead something that was working fine got messed up. If the intent was to demonstrate the decisionmakers in MA office have been replaced with orangutans from the nearest zoo, it achieved it's purpose!
We can go even further back and talk about changes in economy (introduction of explo bp's and killing off MU accross the board)...
The interesting question is, can anyone remember VU that brought us something the playerbase really has been asking for?
I'm not sure if anyone in MA office will read this or even cares, but well, doesn't hurt to try.
I know, forum readers is by no means representative for the whole playerbase but at least have a decency to not keep ignoring everything we're asking for, VU after VU. It's getting old and it's really not funny any more.

Fix the bugs: Autoaim exploit in PvP, broken mob hitboxes, etc. We have whole threads on them, and Support Center can surely provide some useful info in that area as well.
Fix the economy: I'm assuming steamrolling over MU was done intentionally. Wrong decision. Hunting for MU was the core of the game for many many ppl. You can't just take it away, provide absolutely nothing in return and pretend nothing happened. Fix this mess, bring MU back. We don't care how, just do it.
Provide more content: Not more new mobs, missions or weapons, more entertainment.
First of all, fix the classical PvP. Every game needs it's endgame, can't just break it and leave it lying around, again pretending it's no big deal.
But not all players can participate in the endgame. Most don't have skills or gear, many don't like PvP in principle and EU'x PvP isn't really PvP like in other games anyway. Those other ppl need entertainment too, something besides endless grind.
Why not build some fun capture the flag type maps (instanced or open world) for teams. Several skill/HP classes, team vs. team, a basic matchmaking mechanism, map filled with PvE content, could include PvP element, or not. Or instead it can be some fun alternative, like dropping decoy-like items on the ground that work like land mines, etc etc.
Possibilities are endless, gains for the game enormous. Good chance it turns i to e-sports, will be streamed and turns into a free advertisement engine for the game. Without destroying it first. Speaking of which...
Tax the TP's and create trillion paid jobs. No, not really. Just checking if u're still awake.
