Informal and Unofficial Poll- Would you prefer to keep or abolish GC-based PVP queues

After 468 games for immortal flames I would still like gc restriction removed.

I do like the sense of belonging being in a gc has, to fight for glory against our enemy maelstrom! My house is dressed up as a flames HQ

Dw about adders their be too busy wiping themselves loladders.

There are plenty of opposition players I don't want to work with, but for the sake of ques I'm willing to compromise.

All of this has already been the case for quite some time now depending on what data center your on with the current grand company based system. Most of the regulars I used to see prior to Slaughter on Aether have all but disappeared-slowly eroding the community. Many more try PvP a few times and are turned off by the long que times. Most linkshell static groups dominate if they're any good and this happens often with either a Cometeor capable class/BLM x6 Healer x2 alliances, or a group of well coordinated melees and a tank or 2.

I used to PvP all the time, but I can't justify the wait times anymore the way it is now and I enjoy doing Frontline on my DRK.

Once frontlines came out, I did PvP almost exclusively. Before slaughter came out I racked up 950+ wins. After seeing this new map and the way they've been going about handling the PvP in this game, it's not going in a direction that makes me feel good. Also, they kill off the only cool lalafell and lock up the best general in the game... but thats another story.

Of course I'de rather them abolish the GC restriction, because the que times is the real issue. To me, it seems like a really simple fix. I made a thread on it, so have many others. A simple check box (similar to que in progress) that says "any GC" where you can mark the box to fight for any grand company (while solo) would fix the issue, to me anyways. For most people it's not a big issue since PvP isn't big, but for me its a dealbreaker. I won't be resubbing because of the way it's being handled.

Pvp has been down right broken for a very long time. The gc breakdown is the obvious cause, but yet with hunderds of post like these nothing has been done. Who ever is in charge has a vision of frontlines pvp which sadly require grand company division. I don't see this changing ever. Lucky we have been promised a wolvesden rebirth, in which gc's do not matter.
