It's a huge public event with gret media coverage The devs will be answering their fans and the press. Embarrassing questions are bound to happen and as arcticthered said it's much better to be honest and address those issues than to say ""we aren't able to answer that at this moment because *insert PvP Dev name here* wasn't able to attend but we will pass on your questions". A simple "we know about this and are looking into it" would be a good start. Communication on the official forums instead of Reddit would be nice too.

Which is again besides the point. The logic is sound though. They only mentioned their sales on one of the weekly livestream once and they said they were happy about it. This whole event is about getting new players to buy the game  and getting some more coverage. Which of course will only entail the sparkly rainbow topics of the game. At least from their side. You can't expect them paying money for a booth and than go "This is Wildstar. Most of our servers are low pop and we currently screwed up the pvp in this game. Thanks for listening". The point I wholeheartedly agree on is that if questions about problems come up. They have to be answered honestly. Not in detail just like you guys said but at least a "we're working on it". The place for addressing these issues in detail is this forum, not a public press event. Yes it sucks that carbine is currently in silence mode and being completely honest that annoys me too.

I probably love the game as much as you do Olivar, but unlike you I avoid fanboyism. Server population is a very pressing issue on my server (EU), 15-20 level 50 players at most during peak hours, around 30+ level 1-49 players during the same time. I call that a pressing issue, I 'll go even as far as to say is should be top priority.

Even if it is a server and situation specific problem, the amount of servers and situations it is effecting is growing at a pretty darn alarming rate. And quite frankly when a company released paid server transfers the problem changes from something the community needs to fix to something the company needs to fix, as i have no doubt that transfers contributed to the problem. I do agree however that discussing these problems at gamescom would be bad, but they need to start talking about it and so far they have been silent. So it is only natural that because of the silence people would want to ask these questions face to face to hopefully get some answers about what is gonna happen. If we had carbine on the official channels telling us what the situation is (is the ghost town effect really a phasing issue as some people have said?) and what they are doing to try and fix the issues people would be a lot happier (and may even keep subscribing while waiting for the change)

They have already talked about the issues, given high level plans for some (e.g. PVP changes) or have said they have nothing new to tell us on others (e.g. low pop servers). Do they really need to be there and say the same thing in person? If that is not enough, you shouldn't be a paying customer.
