Dear MA (yes this is not for developers but management, and in forum since is the only public channel we have).
Think we would all gain from more transparency on some things in game and in the way it is run. Also there are some urgent issues that require action, and long overdue.
1. transparency - meetings with players is a good idea, but then the selection criteria and the meeting content itself should be known to all the players - the current implementation puts you in a very bad light regardless on how innocent and good intended it might be
5. critical issue - waves - a pattern that can easily be exploited
6. critical issue - other loot patterns - e.g. significant drops for returning avatars and better chances for often switching the target - issue is the predictable pattern which can be exploited
7. RCE - please allow boxes to be bought for peds - you cannot call it rce if certain things cannot be bought with the ingame currency. it can still be a slightly different rate, but it must be possible. You are very well aware people are withdrawing and then buying boxes anyway.
8. critical issue - the cancellation or worse of the crit buffs - it is unacceptable to market crit buffs with one hand and then nerf them completely at the same time keeping other dpp improvements (imk2) intact
9. RCE - please stop the items showing tt value and not tt-able. Same point goes for soulbound items - they have no place in an RCE.
10. Critical issue - allow to lock items by avatar to better prevent accidental tt
11. Transparency - publish really expensive loots like big esi in the rare loot section
12. Transparency - show dpp stats in weapon stats, if you say dpp is still relevant (better loot composition) then dpp should be clear for advertised item stats, currently they only reveal durability rest is gambling
For the community.
Would suggest we try to push MA to do something about the mentioned issues by means of support cases and bumping the thread for better chances of being noticed -> addressed. If you don't agree with some of the suggestions, indicate only the ones you do (thus numbering of the list). Also if you have other relevant and reasonable ideas please post them here I will add to the opening post if it matches this simple criteria. Since we have no vote terminal in-game, the only way for us to communicate our wishes is over this channel and support cases.
Please keep this thread clean, keep your opinions about me out of it (thus not including est in it).

1. transparency - meetings with players is a good idea, but then the selection criteria and the meeting content itself should be known to all the players - the current implementation puts you in a very bad light regardless on how innocent and good intended it might be
- referring to meetings that took place referred before
- most notably revelations of EMW on Skalman and things he could do according to http://www.entropiaplanets.com/threads/anyone-remember-these-threads.21607/
- other rumors, pretty sure you have received support cases about other suspicious activities that hint for inside links
- since this is a rce game, crimes and corruption in it are also have a very real impact and puts the game in a bad place unless addressed properly
- you are very well aware that the transfers happen all the time regardless being legal or not, and in some instances (according to credible sources) you have helped to transfer the ownership. please make it available to all not selected few. again this is rce, transactions should be allowed and encouraged.

- stats and behavior of high turnover hunting indicate that crit buffs lower the tt return % and point out that the loot 2.0 averages for high turnover have a major deviation in real application cases (97% vs 92%) - why? - and "they should not" is not an answer
- why did not go the hinted way of introducing decay for the rings?
- why crit buff items did not get included in the efficiency calculation?
- why every unlimited buff had to be terminated if the main imbalance was a limited armor introduced before buff stacking?
9. RCE - please stop the items showing tt value and not tt-able. Same point goes for soulbound items - they have no place in an RCE.
