I see lots of people with the gear, but I have no idea how they rank up so fast. I want to get the gear for appearance and I have several pieces already however only level 25ish. How do people rank up "fast"?

Play lots and lots of matches.
1. Do the daily PvP roulette
2. PvP challenge log
3. Since you're on Aether data center you can switch to the Twin Adders for a very fast queue time
Otherwise, just just keep playing PvP since you'll get PvP exp no matter if you're 3rd or 1st
Join the gc with least people, I'm rank 50 flames rerolled to adders 3 weeks ago, I'm now rank
38, making 30k pvp xp per week due to insta ques.
I get 45 - 50 in 2 weeks. Now waiting for new pvp content again.
There is no method faster than pvping a lot. The exp between levels grows and grows, while the amount of exp you get a game is nearly fixed. Run your roulettes, do your best to win, and play whenever youre not busy with other aspects of the game. Its not difficult to play 20-30 games a week even while raiding savage and doing crafter progression.
not only that you have to play a lot but you need to win too.
losing give you shit exp.
This might not be completely true as you actually get rewarded with a 10% increase in xp for each consecutive loss you suffer. Idk what the cap is but that coupled with the fact that GC's that have a history of losing typically enjoy faster queues (as people bandwagon to the perceived "winning" GC) may actually make losing the faster way of ranking up via frontlines lol.
I don't think the grind is that bad. What is bad are the queue times. Say you play 6 hours a day, which may seem like a lot, but when queues can frequently be 30 minutes for a 15 minute game, Over half of that time is just being wasted waiting around.
Join adders for quick queues.
Then, grind your butt off.
i wish they would switch the amount of wolf marks you get to experience and experience to wolf marks. you get a ton of marks and sure you can spend them, but not high enough rank to actually equip all the best ones. I'd rather be at the highest level and take a little longer to get the equipment because you'll probably be sitting on an overflow of Wolf Marks as it is right now, but your rank keeps you from actually equipping anything. Or, add a FC action, PvP Exp +10% since they already have Wolf Marks +10%.
Wouldn't be necessary really if the queues weren't terrible. Fix the queue times and honestly i think it's pretty solid.
PvP challenge log. Its a necessity to rank up.
Taru is a living example that shows quantity over quality is actually prefered when it comes to pvp exp, even if you get shit exp when coming a 3rd they still rank up faster due insta ques. I personally got tripe amount of exp as an adder compared to imm or mael in hour, because i got 3-4 matches in same timeframe where imm and mael only got one match. 400-600xp/h for imm/mael where adders get 900-1200xp/h even if they lose all matches, diffirence is even bigger if adders even win one of those matches.
tl;dr If you want to rank up faster join the underdog GC, but if you want to farm achivments join the winning GC.
Tbh my actual win ratio is almost the same as flames, I noticed adders tend to be good towards the end of the week. 10pm+ most of my wins come from when the actual pvp players are on.
Flames wina usually come during primetime early week and start slipping as the week comes to a close
Nel is bang on with this, pre switching gcs I was experiencing 30min+ q's as flames, I'm actually feeling a bit burnt out from all the insta games we can get
Spam frontline. Usually my data center only queue <5 mins. (Sometimes when your gc has a shitty group, it will queue fast because)
Join Maelstrom if you are on Primal
The queues for a maelstrom for frontlines during primetime are in excess of 30 minutes so you don't want to go there if you are looking for fast queues. If any of the three GC on primal have relatively quick queues it would have to be flames. Though since the three GC on primal are pretty mediocre and balanced atm I would think all 3 are probably about the same now.
As little as a couple of weeks ago, the Flames ques were nearly instant. Almost every que was 5 minutes or less, with some exceptions during the odd hours of the day. We've had a sudden influx of new players, though. As it is, ques are still pretty quick. The most I've had to wait is 15 minutes, but that's pretty rare. Usually, you're in a match within 10 minutes. Though, that might change at the rate we've been getting new people.
That said, Flames are not a friendly community of people on primal. I'd say it falls to a mix of 75% noobs/indifferent players, 5% downright saboteurs or negative players, and 20% committed and experienced vets. There's a lot of internal strife and bickering, but when we get rolling it's golden. Gonna need some tough skin if you want to take advantage of those que times... for as long as they last, that is.
