In all fairness, your argument should be directed to the Ankama as a whole and not one person, as all the decisions in the game are thrown around and discussed as a group before implamentation.



It is true that Dofus Arena is a purely pvp game system, while Dofus has adventure and rpg elements. In order to make Dofus more dynamic, and more enjoyable, pvp is an alternative to players who want something else to do than killing AI based monsters. Playing versus other players can be a more satisfying fight, since it is a brain versus another brain. For players that have reached the climax; high levels, complete sets, pvp allows them to move on to other tasks than killing monsters for what? They have completed their gear.

PVP is by all means is not "forced" upon everyone to participate. You can simply enable or disable your PVP status with a simple click of the mouse. As far as perceptor attacks where many non Bonta/Brak participating players might encounter PVP, placing a perceptor (aka collector), can be viewed as the same thing as turning your wings on. It is there, so you are open to attack. It is entirely a choice to place a collector.

We all know that as players reach the end of their road, they have killed all that they can kill, made all the gear they can make, explored all they can explore. There is far more to this game than the monsters we have all encountered, and bosses we have all killed. For one as stated above, PVP is an OPTION available to all players. There are also a huge amount of quests in this game that few people take advantage of. If you're bored with the same continents, and monsters, I encourage you to do some quests. Ofcourse quests wont satisfy every player.

The development team is hard at work focusing many resources on compleating Dofus 2.0 which will usher in improvements to the game we all know and love, and will find solutions to problems and limitations the first iteration of the game has faced. New content is always under development, but they are hard at work at bigger and better things to benefit the game in the long run. We will see new content, but patience is key. Players are not kept entirely in the dark about updates either. The Dofus magazine has privelaged access to peek at the future updates of Dofus, from concept art, to screenshots, and more. For other players, and as for myself, I love surprises. I cant wait to see what they decide to roll out next. Cranking out updates and expansions must be done in a timely manner also, especially when some servers haven't explored all there is to be offered from previous updates. Other servers progress much more rapid, and thus must be patient.

As for "balancing", this can be left up to discussion. For PVP and PVM, some characters might be more limited than others, or too powerful than others, thus making it harder for some players to progress. This is a prime example of why the beta server is open and available to all players. This way, any class changes can be tested prior to the official release. Feedback is important. It is true that all the classes work together as a whole, where one has a weakness, another class has a strength, to form better team interaction.

There is more to come, they are hard at work.

To sum things up in one word: Patience.
