If Feast Is In Preseason, Where Is Everyone?

Unless I'm missing something, Feast is in preseason right now but queues are non-existent. Surely everyone didn't just quit right?

Most people queue in training mode during pre-season so games go faster. It's a mess because people can duo queue, and teams are completely imbalanced - but it's the thing to do while we wait on ranked.

I would think they'd queue up in actual ranked mode since doesn't your pre-season activity affect where you are on the leaderboards at the start of the next seasons?

Yeah, where you end up in pre-season is how they determine your placement for the next season. If you are Diamond, you become Gold. Platinum to Silver, and so on.

Seems like a huge waste of time and it's beyond irritating doing Training, where healers heal less than 10k and feasters are duo queueing. Even if I want to practice a new job I can't.

It also carries over your rating/tier from the previous season, at least according to the Lodestone post. So someone who has reached Diamond in season 7 should already be Diamond tier during the current pre-season, so they won't have any reason to do ranked mode right now.

cuz no one cares about pre-season? ppl would be doing team pvp anyways for the tournament.

Not everyone does tournaments?
Not everyone wants to do tournaments?
In the next season you will start out with a certain rank depending on your rank in the preseason. So why would PvPers not care about preseason?

Because anyone that was platinum/diamond rank in season 7 will already be that rank in the pre-season, meaning they'll automatically start at silver/gold at the start of season 8.
