Grouch cared about the game, talked to the community (in game and out) regularly, and responded to them promoting and instigating constructive discussion. He took their opinions and I’m fairly sure he brought them to the attention of the sPvP team(s).
Allie reads forums, which contains 99.99% of nonconstructive whining while hardly (if even) communicating to players with legitimate feedback. She doesn’t take the initiative to talk to players in game either, and will only sPvP if asked to.
To conclude, she mainly listens to the whiners on forums who have no idea how the game actually works; ie the “very, very small percentage” of the community. So not only does she listen to such a small part of the community, it’s the part of the community that doesn’t know how to separate personal bias from their opinion in order for the good of the game. Taking the easy path saying you’re doing your job by reading forums, after saying yourself that forums only accommodate a small percentage of the player-base, isn’t going to help the game progress and only aggravates the majority of the actual community.
The circle the OP has pointed out shows incompetence. Rather than actually doing her job she reads forums. Then when forums complain about something she says that the forums do not accurately represent the PvP population. But instead of going to the PvP population and gathering opinions of several players from all levels of skill she goes back to forums and repeats the cycle.

With the D/P Backstab build, how are you consistently getting into position without any sort of speed boost (Fleet shadow, SoS)? (As a side-note – the spec I run should also have an additional second of stealth thanks to MwS, but according to testing by another player on the boards, MwS is currently bugged and does not affect stealth gained by BP->HS)
I’m currently running D/P (25/15/30/0/0) with Devourers,SoS,Shadowstep and Basilisk. Good players tend to keep moving and dodging whenever I enter stealth; even with SoS, there are times where I have to decide quickly if I want to just let stealth drop or try for a front stab. Basically, what are you doing against players who know what to expect when you enter stealth?
For the backstab, patience and deception are your friends. Be patient with your burst and pressure them to use their defensive CDs (stun breaks, dodge rolls, etc). Once they’re gone burst them.
Positioning is something you’ll learn as time goes on. Think more vertically than horizontally. Get high ground and be patient, only go in for a kill when you can secure it.
P.S. I will not quit this game. And I’m always willing to answer questions – Through this post preferably.
