Sarpedonia
I also hated OP battles as well :-P
It's hard to hate something that only ever happens when you're miles from home earning rent money. While scheduling them for 19 UTC has some strategic merit, it also kills interest in them for anyone outside of Europe. The same goes for RP events.
I'm sure a lot of new players who live outside of Europe are bored by the lack of happenings they can attend too, so that's another change that should be considerer.

Do not assume that you speak for all just because you are the loudest voice; there are many who disagree that simply have no desire to waste words on you.
