    Ok, I have some major sudgestions that can help improve the pvp aspect of the game that you should keep in mind.

      1  The control interface needs to be more friendly for key bindings.  I previously played pvp non stop for 3 years on wow with ranged and melee classes and I have a gaming mouse that has a couple extra buttons on the side for binding and macros.  I tried to bind a few things to the side buttons on the mouse but the set interface control for looking right and left are programed to take over the control of those two side keys I believe they are directional buttons 4 and 6 and can not be set to be controled by the directional arrow keys on the keyboard alone, therfore I cannot bind anything else except insert, end(num pad1) and page down key.  The reason for the need of binded keys in pvp is because unless you are a heavily armored class that can stand face to face and click out combos, combos are pretty much useless in a class that wears cloth.  I rolled an assassin.  My combos are nice if I can belt out one real fast after getting a hit out of stealth, but after that I HAVE TO run around and behind my target using my attack keys because I take more dammage then I deal and if I stand face to face with a ranger, conq, hox, tos, guardian even any caster I'm rooted, casted on or beat down, so the need for more directional attack bindings is critical so your control interface needs some work.

         MACROS SUCK!  Please, please do NOT allow the use of macros, they ruined skill pvp in WOW.  You could program a macro for anything any they played your character for you, if you value the skill pvp in this game outlaw macros, just allow a more key binding friendly control interface.  I understand the need for skill pvp and LOVE it.  I know you designed the game to be balanced at 80, but the need to click 5 buttons to belt out one single combo on an assassin that takes so much dammage that they're dead by an armor class before you can even finish the first damn combo blows, and would be easier if you would allow more bindings.  I'm only asking that the default  forward, backward, turn left, and turn right be allowed to be controlled only by the directional arrows on the keyboard if a player wishes.  Get a mouse with keys on the side of it and try to bind them with directional attacks and you'll see what I mean.  Also, you cannot bind the middle mouse button as well.  There is no defaulot control, you just can't bind it to anything, the game won't respond to it.

         For anyone who disagrees with me...  Roll an assassin.  Get them past level 20 and try to face to face fight with almopst any class in the game using nothing but your combos and see what happens.  Skill in pvp means getting around your target, dodging and attacking as NOT to get hit yourself.  Impossible without key bindings.

         Thank you for your time and I hope you consider this.
