PVP Materia, Food, Economy, & More

Currently the majority of materia and food used during PVP seems to be non-PVP items.

Materia:

It would be nice to have a wider variety of PVP materia available through Wolf Marks instead of having to rely on PVE materia prices. Wider variety as in PVP versions of the PVE materia, since "Materia effects active during PvP only" anyway.

This would encourage people to PvP more* to get their gear fully melded. PvP more* = better queues. This would impact the economy, but I'm not sure by how much since PvPers seem to be a minority.

Food:

For food, we once again rely on PVE food most times and do not even receive an EXP benefit from using it.

The duration of food is mostly wasted while waiting in Queue. Would it be possible to have PVP food that does have a PvP EXP benefit and shorter duration? Shorter duration so that instead of crafting 1 unit, it creates 5 or 6 (or more!!! :P) since each game is relatively short most times.

Perhaps for Frontlines, games will be longer so different foods with longer duration?

Other ideas:

Pets! Mounts! Bardings! Furniture! Achievements! Glamour items. Titles. Ranking system.

I'm sure many of these things are already coming though, and I'm definitely looking forward to it.

*"PvP more" alternatively "Victory Exchange" more...but that's life.

Yep if thise are added, expect the ppl who win trade to farm marks in order to buy a lot of pvp furniture and sell it on MB for mass profit.
So technically they r acting like bots in a way.
Grind till their mind melts in a cheap way and sell their earnings on stuff that cannot be obtained as easily if done the intended way.
-Achievements? Meh lol
-Glamour items = more win trading on week 1 of release.
-Bardings? Probably could be sold for mass profit (i.e egg, star, tidal bardings etc.)
- mounts? Refer to early days of commendation farming, more win trading.
-pets? Probably the only good thing if they are unsellable.
Refer to beast tribe minions.
-better materia? Please refer to posts stating SE has more important concerns that need their attention.

The win traders are an non-issue as they are going to win trade regardless. While this will also encourage them to win trade longer, it will also give legit players more options and reasons to grind.

We can't deny ourselves more options simply because it could also empower cheaters.

Even with bans, further restrictions and the whole 9, win traders aren't going anywhere.

Vanity items should not cost marks IMHO. That would force players who have no interest in PvP to possibly win trade, I do believe vanity should cost gil.

Great idea with food and materia though.

It's like saying that if you saw somebody driving a Hummer, he most likely have a small penis.
Somebody riding a high ranking PVP mount most likely wintraded.

With the way things are yes. But if they can fix/somehow deal with the wintrading then I think all of these are excellent ideas. more incentive to PvP

I feel like thing will even more interesting/active if there's actually ladder/tournament for pvp. Let's hope Frontlines is going be good lol,

But those is sound great ideas, and would be nice if we got pvp food buff that only ticking as the moment you go in pvp instead of wasting while waiting que.. <_<

Great post IM >=)
