I really do wish they'd sort out PvP gear though... Either make it the best or remove the need to gear for PvP entirely... I want to PvP, not grind various pieces of PvE for an ideal piece of gear... I'll grind PvP for gear if I have to, wont be too pleased about the potential imbalance that causes between novices and veterans, nor the potential extra burden on my inventory, but at least it would make gearing simpler...

pink gear secondaries zero themselves out besides the main stats, so definitely don't waste your time on diadem

What Daimera is talking about, assumingly, is people in The Feast Light Party que, high ranked players take in lower ranked players to increase the points they gain for each win. When you're a full team of silvers/golds you get ridiculously miniscule rating points, like 1s or 2s, for each win. But when you have say 1 or 2 silvers and the rest unranked or bronze, you get more points.

In essence, higher ranked players are carrying low/unranked players to bronze-ish to get more points for themselves. Basically abusing the system is what I'd like to categorise it as.

this was fixed when the feast came out

So I was wondering, gripes about balance/gear/matchmaking/etc. aside, are we going to have any promotional events for the Feast seasons? Like a double reward weekend or something like that? We seem to have the Community Reps jumping in for Culling Time occasionally (psst, it would be fun if beating them was worth more!), but some other events would be interesting... Doubt double rating would go down well, but I wouldn't even mind double Wolf Marks, considering how nice they are for GC seals (and we're getting new ranks 3.3, so hey, those have a purpose again) or Desynthesis...

Ah, alrighty. I honestly didn't even know this was a thing.

That's probably because it's not. I mean, it's a thing, sure, but it's not really a big thing. Your party ranking and your individual rank level up separately from one another, so even if you exploit the system by bringing in a bronze player to your party matches it does absolutely nothing for your individual rank. You're still exploiting the system and boosting your party ranking, but in regards to your actual individual rank (the only one which can potentially reward you) it makes no difference. You wouldn't even notice this kind of thing happening unless you play a lot of party matches.

Februs did you miss the message before 3.26 where they announced that Rank 4v4 (Light Party) is getting rewards?

Hard to believe so many people in this thread alone apparently have all the "answers", yet nobody in-game knows them, heh. That alone makes this raise a red flag, but I'll leave it at that though since I'm done with the matter.

Yes it is, at least at Chaos. If you take a look at the rankings you can see who is abusing the system. I'm sorry for you Thana and your team that you get beaten in points with that methode.

And yeah, good morning Februs, they changed that, and we notice that because we play party matches most of the time, because solo, uhm no thanks...
