100% Random WD- You Get W/e You Get

SE's #1 intention is to make money above all else. Hence..we have this wonderful system that tries to cheat PvPs very nature and make things so balanced and friendly for everyone. A place where beginners can progress safely and learn the ropes at a controlled pace. K.

Add 1 more mode, a 100% blindfold random, solo, to each his own mode. One that takes in NO regard WHATSOEVER for rank, cap, party composition, nothing. Let everything be left up to pure chance. A random cap of 40 for example, with 2 whms and 2 smns VS you, a pld who only goes for other plds first, a healer who doesn't believe in attunment, and a drg who forgot the correct spear. So be it. Can even put a warning sticky on to tell noobs this particular mode has a sharper learning curve (hence why I said keep the other modes) Hell...don't award any exp or marks...no reward at all. Don't like? Just don't select then. "But no one would play such a mode." ....because people are really enjoying WD now.

not gonna happen because that's how WD used to be when it was first released. it linked rank 1's with rank 30s, and they got smashed in 2 seconds. it didn't completely ignore party comp, but it came close enough when it would group doubled ranged, which wasn't too bad .... as long as it wasn't two SMNs, but people would premade that way. SE would never go back to that setup because people bitched the first time. there are too many people who suffer from Butthurtitis for SE to even implement anything like that.

LoL...thats exactly why I said keep the other modes..specifically for those people who whinned and bitched enough to get things as they are now. That, and the other fact that you have people like me (and i'm sure i'm not alone in this) who could care less what the pt compositions are like (long as its solo-grouping) and just enjoy fighting for the sake of fighting. Que times would be instantaneous...soon as 8 people clicked the accept, match would pop. Yes..there would be times where you'd be fighting 3 healers and a smn, but that'd be the gamble. And ya..for anyone who didn't like it..you have 4-5 other options. All I'm saying is that PvP's nature wasn't ment to be fair/ balanced in the 1st place so why penalize those of us who can accept that in favor of casuals who are STILL complaining amidst alterations built specifically to attract/apease them?

Let me put it this way: Would you prefer a 20 minute que (and thats being modest in light of current times in WD) that had 100% chance of being completely balanced (because all r30s-r40s skill lvls are at the exact same height :) or an instant que with a 50% chance? The second option also would allow complete room for unpredictability- 4 blms vs 4 smns...4 tanks vs 4 other tanks etc. The overwhelming focus here is simply to execute the que times since there are more than enough people who don't care about the w/l/i'm r19/youre r34- stuff and just wanna fight. I mean isn't this why there are so many requests now to drop the whole storyline-based style of FL and just make it random 24-24-24 (which doesn't limit multiple same classes)?

I totally agree with this idea.

You can have this kind of experience right now in Frontlines, all you have to do is be in Twin Adder.
