Poll: Would you still PVP OFTEN if there was no XP?

Probably not anymore. Not as it currently is composed of bots. I would if I still had things I wanted for wolf marks but I never found it entertaining enough in and of itself to queue for it. I only played for the rewards (and yes I actually tried to fulfill objectives) and since there's nothing new for me Im only queuing for XP atm.

It was rare to run across bots prior to them adding xp. There was an occasional one when GARO came out, but we all knew who they were and booted them each match. It also never felt like there were this many lazy players ignoring objectives. Now it's mostly just bots and people afking for xp.

I don't PvP anymore specifically because of how infested it is with bots right now.

Since I'm done with Garo and have the one pvp mount (outside of the campaign) I wanted for my Mch, I barely use Shatter for exp and relic light as it is. Eliminate one or both of either, and I would never touch pvp again. Too many people whose ideas of pvp content is to run aimlessly and lick one another's butthole while other teams beat up on them, too many issues with latency or with targeting of any kind going for everything BUT the one person or object I'm trying to aim for, and limited rewards as it is.

Triple the light or better, while keeping the exp the same (even for third place), and I might pick up drinking again just to use Frontline to finish my last six animas as quickly as possible, but that wouldn't last very long even then. Once the relics are done, regardless of whether I'm done with the exp or not, I'll probably be finished with this game's pv--

Do PVP at least once a day for 47 days out of the next 50 days, starting the day before yesterday, and this flying Tonberry is yours!*** (pictured, a large tonberry flapping its arms with a cartoonishly big chef's knife in each hand, and the lantern carried in its mouth)

--p... Damn it, SE! >_<

(Note: To those unable to tell, that last part was a joke)

Yes.

But without EXP, I'd start running out of rewards to get, so it'd either need a boost in tomes or we'd need annual rounds of new vanity goodies and Garo-like events.


I hadn't noticed bots hardly at all until I turned on Freelancer, and suddenly half of the Flames alliance was just scooting around together, following a few real players like a big sad convoy of laziness.

It makes me wonder if the new mode will make this much harder. I know you never see modes outside of Shatter from how easy it is to make bots farm it. I'm about to manually queue up seal rock to start farming the gear from it.

I'm not a fan of PvP in this game in it's current form so the answer is NO. The XP nerf harmed it more than helped it and completely removing XP would kill it completely except for those hard core pvp ppl that like it for some reason, but then they wouldn't have anyone else to play with besides bots sooooo...

I would as I find PvP more fun than DR Expert so I use it to cap tomes along with DR Trials. However, if it doesn't pop coz people don't queue for it, I wouldn't be able to do it even if I wanted to.

Nope.

yes, pvp should just be about people that want to actually do the content and not people that just want free exp

Yeah, I enjoy having to go up against other different players rather than run the same 2 dungeons or so every day and repeat scripted fights all the time.

Granted, was an avid PvP'er before SB so I'm biased.
