I would definitely like to see an effort on SE's part to support community-driven PvP events like the AetherCup, even if it's simple promotion of the event for further exposure. After seeing the stream yesterday, I realize a larger part of the issue with people's interest in PvP isn't just negative stereotypes without experience, but that SE/community reps don't seem to show much interest in it, and that's just not fair to both sides.

First and foremost, a better two-way communication with the community really needs to be established. We can put our heads together from there.
