Except that CoH and CoV were merged into one game. As of Good vs Evil edition and the NCSoft takeover anyone that has a CoH account also has a CoV account and vice versa. for CoH and CoV you can't have one without the other, this is not the case with GR.

I don't consider revamping an entirely new thing.

Faultline revamp added content to a zone that had almost nothing in it.So it counts as an addition

Hollows revamp changed mission placement and spawn points. IIRC the Hollows revamp was something War Witch had done on a lunch break or something similar.Nothing really changed except some QoL stuff which I don't consider content for this argument.

Posi revamp certainly chagned thigns around, however the Devs have always stated that Posi was meant to be 2 parts. Now it is.

You also seem to have forgotten about Silver Mantis being palced out in the open. Considering very few people have ever done the SM or even knew about it I'd say that's somewhat comparable.

It's certainly even with the Hollows revamp at any rate.

Praetoria as a paid expansion shouldn't factor into this discussion.

This has happened several times already.

i6 Favored Villains (duh COV release patch)
i7 favored villains(villain 40-50 content)
i8 favored heroes (faultline revamp)
i9 favored neither (inventions)
i10 favored heroes (RWz, yes villains can participate but the content largely ignores prior villain content, thus it doesn't particularly feel like a villain update)
i11 theoretically this was neutral, however due to the larger amount of hero content already in the game it could be argued that heroes get more from ouro than villains.
i12 cimerora's story is blatantly hero oriented,heroes had 3 arcs from the midnighters whereas villaind had 2 +Darrin Wade so while the content additions are even the nature of Cim has abias towards heroes.
i13 iirc introduced the 2 contacts in cim, the additional Midnighter contact and the SoA. I'd say the 2 cim contacts are even but the additional midnighter had 3 hero arcs and 1 villain arc(that could have been a hero arc with some changes) I guess the Soa evens this out abit but the arcs are so bad people have stopepd caring about them.
i14 completely even
i15 even (nod to vilalins for getting a better SF, but that was largely due to the work put in by the players during test.)
i16 even
i17 seems fairly even to me.

and now we have i18 and GR

as part of i18/GR Tina McIntyre and Maria Jenkins saw an update to thier arcs. I didn't see the automated villainy arc getting a doppleganger for the end fight. I wonder why?

So you spoke about alienating the players well Villains largely feel alienated.

You also talked about putting content where the majority of palyers are, yes that's good business sense however it's also a catch 22. More heroes than villains, so heroes get more content, vilalins get frustrated and bored and either move to hero side or leave, thus there are more heroes than villains so heroes get more content and it repeats.

CoV has been out for 5 or 6 years now and it still needs to catch up to heroes in some areas, whereas heroes have consistently been catching up to villains in the areas that they needed to.

I don't think this was ever promised anywhere.
As for Maria And Tina getting tweaked that makes sense considering the update to the Praetorian story line.

Now I don't consider the changes to Posi in this becuase it's always been stated that Posi was meant to be 2 parts. While I understand some new stuff was added I think overall the content is the same.

no no no

Containment has a percent chance for making the duration of the effect permanent

75%Underlings
50%Minions
25% Lieutenants
15% Bosses
5% AV's
1% GMs

because they've been contained.
