So Erm Rank 30....

It would seem that my Datacenter populace are totally evading Lvl 50 PvP now that there are Rank 30s popping up. As far as Rank 30 goes there is about 15 or so, 10 of them on my server so far as to being noted by other server as the "Carbuncle Dire" that they just sit there and get slaughtered with no retaliation.

Queues are getting seriously long and guess what? You get instant queue if you tick Lvl 40 PvP.

So what now Yoshida-san? 3 Weeks of Hard-solo and I'd barely can play now? At this rate no one is going to PvP down a month later.

Solo queues on Aether are anywhere from instant to 20min+ on tank for 50, though the usual pop is around 5-6min.

I don't think they're evading the rank 30s more than they're opting out of participating in a poorly designed venue. Queues were amazing in the first week or two, and now they've devolved into coordinated 3's teams clubbing rank ~10 seals.

Incentives need to be placed on the premade 50 queue to separate these groups.

Well, I agree that 50 PVP should always be the better option. But right now I'm glad the 40s queue exists because how else are new players supposed to get started? It's the only way I can PVP with my friends who simply do not have the time or inclination to grind as much as I have in 50s. And if you don't have full warwolf and an organized group why even bother, you'll sit in queue for 15 minutes only to end up with a bot for a healer.

Since we've got a bracket with effectively normalized gear and the ability to queue with a full 4-man it's no surprise that it's more popular than the shark tank. Scholars are significantly less unkillable as well. So until the developers actually decide to do some proper balancing then it's nice we have a convenient workaround. Although man, people sure die fast and I really miss Holmgang/Storm's Eye.

Yeap..I got bored. Went back to Swtor PvP, just logging in for Coil and stuff.

DRGs eat people alive in 40s, BLMs are free kill, Bard says "NoU" to casting, WHM just runs around lol Regen. While SMNs dont have Miasma 2, they will still blow your face up with Fester.

i already posted on the forums that I believe smn are overpowered and need nerf. Im saying people are worried about fester and not the instant globals we can do without it and how dumb that is. How do you lock down a summoner that doesnt need to cast?

Says the guy who probably doesn't actually look what kills him. Fester isn't nearly as powerful as the pet cooldowns.

Fester shouldn't be totally disregarded I believe. Even with 2 DoTs of 200 potency the ability to chain Fester > Ruin 2 > Energy Drain is still devastating in itself. Energy Drain has a 3s CD given it is not far apart still it can tighten the burst time frame. I'd give anything to have more off GCD damage in a shorter span of execute time. For starters, if say BLM were to get all their procs instantly used/off GCD I'm sure they get QQ-ed at too.
