Never gonna get out of bronze!

I have been messing with CC myself recently. Which is a surprise since I don't care for pvp to begin with. I keep myself in casual mode to avoid holding anyone back in rankings by me not playing very well since I'm not playing pvp seriously at all.

There are bad players even in higher ranks, i have seen terrible plat players and awesome bronze. The matchmaking system is trash and team comp to random doesn't help.
My JP mate switched to sam had 15 match winning streak and got to crystal after less than 50 games so imagine the noobs who got carried! With this system you could be best in world in game but due to bad luck be stuck in bronze.

You are right. Even switching to White Mage doesn't guarantee automatic wins. There is only so much one player can do when the team decides to spread out and go chase their respective counter parts, lol. Or, charge in 1v5. It's actually hilarious. I don't claim to be very good at PvP; I make mistakes like everyone and I'm also quite new to it all but I think I can already say that the playstyle of some folks defies all basic logic. So everyone stuck in bronze - you might not actually be bad but you definitely had bad luck with your team mates.

They were saying white mage because it has an easily abusable bug that is ungodly OP
other than that getting into gold is pretty much a crapshoot since you can't control who's on your team

probably got to silver-1 9 or 10 times then giant string of teams of what I could only describe as lemmings marching to their doom. Gold ain't much better either probably because it's like a 1 in 5 chance of just boosting someone that has no business there accidentally

You know the bug really isn’t useful at all against good teams later on, lots of you think the bug is instant trip ticket to crystal and that just isn’t true.
But I suppose you’re all in low ranks for a reason so it is what it is.

How does RDM even work in PVP. I understand there's black and white magic but of all the classes, that one absolutely had me scratching my head.

Its pretty straight forward. Dive in, debuff the enemy and do your melee combo, dive out and do some magic and stay away till you can do your combo again. Shift to white balance if you or your team needs some extra support in increased healing and what not.

Yeah, that reason is the matchmaking system is trash, the ranking system is trash, and luck is a major factor as to what rank you end up in.

simple: healers>DRG>SAM>NIN>MCH>RDM>others

this is what i use and have been trying to get people to figure this out

Please don't do this. It is not effective strategy and actively messes with communication during the flow of battle.

Don't worry. Crystal plays are still playing like bronze. Everyone stacks and dives in without any positioning or counter play because the same 4 jobs just have the potential to wipe you. At least you get some diversity down there. Feel free to go look at any crystal player's stream. 0 decision making being made. I guess I'll go RDM and delete the enemy back line before the enemy RDM deletes mine.
