Please fix player vs player (Suggestion)

[Alhanelem]

Not to be cynical or anything, but we've been begging for updates to ballista for years now so I doubt we'll ever get anything. I haven't tried it yet but given that player damage has increased a lot faster than HP with ilevels, I'm willing to bet its super broken now.

That being said, removing the gearswap restriction isn't one of the fixes I'm looking for. The only way that it could be reasonably allowed is if that everyone was forced to /lockstyle for the duration of the match, because the whole reason the restriction was put in was to prevent abuse of blinking.

The most broken thing right now is I don't think Ballista even recognizes the new SoA jobs. I'm not sure that they even have ballista titles yet, or if the field pursuviants even acknowledge their existence (e.g. last I checked they still mention "all twenty jobs".) There's also the issue of there being no level 60 AF set for those jobs, so both jobs have crap for gear for level cap fights.

Assuming I'm correct, I'd like to plead to the community team for them to at least address this small issue (no titles / acknowledgement for new jobs)

I also think they should get rid of the ballista license (keep the quest but make it an optional flavor quest) so anyone can participate in any ballista match, because it is an annoying barrier to entry.

I miss ballista dearly. I might be able to do it again if there was some nice update to it that would make people want to try it again. PvP is great for keeping people playing during lulls between major updates if you make it more attractive- in FFXIV they give you gear currency and there is equipment made for PvP available (still usable outside but less effective) and lo and behold it took off; prior to that it was almost DOA. Add some flashy pvp rewards and people will come. Heck, I almost find it more fun than the rest of the game (in xiv).
