This is a silly topic, because you can not force people to play one side or the other. You can't even quote any numbers to prove an imbalance. I am not saying there isn't but really not everyone plays this game for pvp. So how can they fix population issues? Are you going to force people who do not pvp to base their choice on a pvp problem? You know asking them to address this is really silly at this point. This game is fine, it's not dead and it's still growing. Stop demanding things be fixed right now because you percieve a problem. If you have numbers and facts then write a post about it, but until then please leave your comments in one of the numerous other threads about this topic. Which I feel is no big deal. I am probably not alone in feeling that way either.
Well, the amount of hate on the forums is really disproportionate to how bad SWTOR is to the point that it seems more likely people are paying $15 to troll the forums

I am just offering a suggestion to have the players fix this themselves. If you don't want to switch, then don't, but if you do, and you feel like you need more of a challenge, then there should be an option.

They are not ignoring anything. Somethings take a bit to come up with a solution, it also takes data to make an educated solution. Forums exist and advance in its own time frame, that has little to do with reality.

While I do think so classes are OP, I hate when they completely NERF the crap out of said class. The game is fun except for PvP which is very one sided. Merely to pop imbalance. Sometime I feel that Republic only has 12 ppl queing for PvP while Imp has 50... so imps end up fighting imps, and republic gets 6 vs 8... I dunno a good way to fix that without screwing something else up. Having played WAR for years, I realize now that you CAN only make things worse...

I am probably not alone in feeling that way either. Wow. Some people really do just blindly post. I have a big issue with people pulling numbers out of their *** and if you read what I said, it's all first hand experience, from my server to the posts I observed. That's truthfully all I can run off of, and to me, there is a issue. Secondly, I didn't demand anything. I am only offering any suggestions that may help the flow of players who actually DO want to switch and not be punished for it. I know your not alone on the fact that the issue will fix itself, I'm just asking BW to help push that fix a little sooner. It's not just a pvp thing, it's a pve thing if the underpopulated side never has enough to even do hard mode pugs.

Congrats for you not needing an incentive, most people however will need an incentive to switch sides, wither that faster leveling and better credit gain for new characters on a server, or something else, people tend to respond to a carrot.
