• We would need more primary weapons, and then the whole game would need to be reconstucted from almost scratch.
  
• God, that's gonna need a heckload of reprogramming. New looks, 40? new helmets, a new choice for starters, and new class change choice.
  
• There will be a mob saying, "HEY I WANT TO BE THAT CLASS BUT IT WASN'T THERE YET SO I GET A FREE CLASS CHNAGE OR I'M GONNA QUIT AND NEVER BUY VARIUM AGAIN." Seriously, that is what you guys do.
  
• They need a OP turn too, Bounty Hunters have Smoke/Massacre with MAX Shadow Arts, Tech Mages had Heal Looping back in Beta, and Mercenaries have *FAIL* tanks (Seriously, we Techs can take Tanks out 5/5, stunzerk, and support. Believe it or not, Mercenaries with that...Cupids Bane critical me then critical me on ARticllery, despite the fact that I have 70+ support.

I have a pretty good guess as to why the devs are so slow to implement things that tons of people want.

People begged for a physical staff for the longest time, then they released the Overlord Staff which only has 3 fewer stats than frostbane and yet it is branded as one of the worst staves in the game.
People complained about heal loopers for a long time, and then the devs got rid of them, I'll admit not the best way they could have, but they got rid of the build. And then players were mad that heal loop was gone.
People wanted class change, the devs put it in, and then people didn't like it cause now everyone could change class to use the newly OPed build.
People wanted rage to be weaker because of strength builds, they weakened it and now people are mad because they can't do as much damage to tank builds.
People wanted them to buff Bounty Hunters because the class was so weak, they added Shadow Arts and now people say BH is OPed because they get a little bit luckier.
People complained that bunker buster was too weak, they buffed it a little bit (seriously, not very much) and now people complain that it's too strong.
People wanted new skills for each class, they added 1 to each class and people complained that the skill was useless (except SA).
people wanted more challenge NPCs, so they added more, and people complained it was too hard, so they made easier ones, and people complained they were too easy.
They release an update with no/few weapons and people complain there are not enough weapons, so they do a release with a bunch of weapons and people complain that it's only weapons.
People complain that there aren't enough non varium weapons, so they do a release that is all non varium items and people complain that there is nothing new for varium players.

I'm sure there are many more cases like that that I am forgetting. I bet that's why they are so slow to do what the majority wants, because so often it has bitten them in the back for doing it.
It would seem that the players don't know what they really want.
