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

I don't PvP as is, but to me, the fact you got anything in PvP which benefitted PvE (E.G. tomes, XP, etc) baffled me. I always thought PvP and PvE should be totally separate entities, with no interlinking between each other (except for the fact you play on the same character, and have to do the PvE MSQ to get the quest to unlock PvP).

PvP combat is far superior to PvE combat imo. I have way more fun in PvP ...when Im not surrounded by fools who insult others for enjoyment.

Yes I would still do it, also why this in general section /think

Even without exp there's achievement rewards and tomes win or lose. It's also dynamic content where no two matches are the same, unlike the heavily scripted pve, all while having no gear damage. Exp simply made it so I could still pvp while in the levelling process without it feeling like wasted time, unlike in heavensward where I had to go on a pvp hiatus until I got all my jobs to 60.

Pffft. No.

Unless Rival Wings is fun that is.

I've seen the Frontline drought, i've lived through the toxic feast chat.

If I'm not getting something out of it by putting up with crap, I ain't going.
Achievements are a small bonus, like that 200 damn wins for the airship in feast, that's just a nightmare with how healer dependent that is.

No, I love the experience from pvp. It is more fun to me then running dungeons all the time. If the devs would que up around 5-6 a.m. EST one day, they can ban most of the bot population. That is the only thing that sucks, I never que in the morning anymore before work because of that. But even after having most of the awards from Feast and Frontlines I still love leveling my alts through pvp.

Well I did grind my Anima condensation out there just recently, so, uh... technically yes?

It's my go-to place to grind things I'd otherwise have to join dungeons with long queues or worse, make a party finder for.

That aside, no, I wouldn't join it just for fun because it just isn't. Trinity PvP rarely is. I go to other games that are better designed for PvP if I just want to have fun.

only way to "fix it" is remove all rewards, but then no one would do it at all. People don't want to play something and get 0 reward.

It's not the only way. A way to fix it is if SE implemented Personal Leagues where players who actually wanted to challenge one another could join up and gain enough clout to be recognized by SE as "Official Leagues".

They seem to want to add a function for Feast where you Register your Party of 4, so why not try and do something similar with the other forms of PVP?

If you want to get more people into PVP or at least have the right competitive people partake in it, you need a form of Leadership that allows one to easily vet out and have those who are interested in competition join in the League.

While not a perfect system it would be a step in the right direction to provide a means of weeding out afkers.

i would'nt have gone trough the trouble of getting 200 frontlines wins if there was no XP.

I probably would yes

I haven't PvPed much since the start of SB, and not because of the "revamp"

Adding PvP to Frontlines just causes people to AFK or bot and not care about actually winning, how the hell am I supposed to get the 60 win GARO mount from this?

Adding to that: Feast. Solo queue only? Especially with no chat? Again, how the hell am I supposed to get the 60 win mount from this?

I feel like SE's made some bad directions concerning PvP. I get that 14's a PvE centric game and PvP is more of an afterthought, but the way SE has done things is really turning me off from PvP. I largely blame Exp for my lack of interest in running Frontlines... People just want the easy way
