Oh dear. Heavens, no. My intentions aren't to mess with rewards as far as top 100 goes. If the base level for that particular data center happens to be gold let then have their glory. My apologies for not being specific. This is more towards those that usually has a ton of people in crystal. 1st 100 players to get out of platinum will go straight to crystal, and everyone else who manages to get out of platinum will have to fight for the crystal rank.

SAM needs more than just an LB change, it is honestly the worst pvp class at the moment. It is incredibly lackluster and functions on a single mechanic that everyone can ignore without issue.

I just want the mode to be fun, feels like it's just Saltedlines and Salted Conflict anymore (and Rival Wings might as well not even exist), and the only reason I was queuing was for XP and vendor items, of which all my jobs are at 90 and there's only a couple of trophy crystal items left that I want, so I've gone from half a dozen or more matches a day to doing one Frontline roulette and nothing more.

And even then I've started to take the leave penalty when certain players show up, because 30 minutes of not playing it is preferable to 10 minutes of waiting for the premade to win.

100%. But don't fall into the trap I did and go fishing.

My biggest wishes are:

A) Less personal heals/mitigation. The amount of damage that people can take it absolutely obscene. It means that only burst can truly do any damage, and attrition is meaningless. "Recuperate" is extremely strong, and "Elixir" removes any decision about how to use it.

B) Better healing options for "healers". Having a single target "Cure", with a cast time that heals for less than recuperate, with limited charges that don't affect your kit is just pointless. Most jobs that risk taking lots of damage have dive ability that gives them a shield, inbuilt heals, powerful CC, or all of the above (looking at you DRK).

C) Get rid of "Salted Earth" or change it to be a LB. It's so unbelievably strong with it's huge draw in range that combo's in a bind,gives damage mitigation and healing for the DRK, and it cannot be played against. There is no defense against the draw in, it forces either a guard or a purify, and it's on a low CD. It can single-handedly decide fight outcomes. It can prevent retreats, gather people together, interrupt casts, pull people of edges (takes some effort), zones out players, and creates is stupidly easy setup for Eventide + Quietus for a near full heal.

D) Make BRD's abilities work alliance wide. Seeing someone about to eat a massive CC + burst and knowing that you can't help out with "Warden's Paean" is just the worst feeling. Also add an affect to "Pitch Perfect" called "Harmonisation" that when you apply two stacks to the target causes your next "Blast Arrow" on the target to inflict stun.

E) Reduce "Horrid Roar" effect down to 20%. 50% reduction of people's damage in a 10" AoE for 10 seconds every 25 seconds....yeah, it's far too strong. BRD LB increases damage output of the party by 10% and giving a little bit of LB guage, this is an ability that reduces by far more, hits across alliances, and is on a 25sec cooldown. It is far better support than the "support" from the support based LB. Also buff "Final Fantasia" or give that as a standard ability.

There are more, but currently these are the biggest issues I have.

Are you talking about frontlines here?

Can’t fall into the trap when I’ve already completed all fish up to dawntrail

From my perspective that's like avoiding getting attacked by a bear by getting eaten by a lion.

Still waiting 5 years later...

I want my old modes back.

Honestly I like the combat system of having one button chained to a set of combos. They did great there and I'd like an option for something like that in pve. Maybe like a Console/PC option.
