PVP and patch 2.5

[Gooner_iBluAirJGR]

Stuff I'd like to see but won't happen

What I think is more likely

- Increase PvP rank to 50
- i120 PvP gear (although I'm not sure they'll do this...)
- "New frontlines rule" is 8v8v8 maps with separate queue for pre-mades

If they don't add new gear I'm gona cry so hard ;_;

The way they changed morale for pvp gear it now adds directly to the ilvl. i110 PvP gear has 20 morale (25 for the wep), so the ilvl scales to 130/135, the same as current end-game pve gear. Looking at the i100 pvp gear, it has 10-15 morale and scales to i110/115, the same ilvl as the end-game pve gear that existed when that pvp gear came out.

I don't think they're upping the ilvl on PVE gear in 2.5 and if they released new PvP armor it would probably be i120 and with morale scale to higher than i130/135, meaning it would be higher than current end-game PVE armor (at least in PvP areas). As this is not something they have ever done, that makes me lean towards thinking they will not release new PvP armor this patch... But I hope I'm wrong!

While I really want new pvp gear (I mean I've been spending all my marks on materias to avoid capping), I really don't think we'll be having any, get ready to cry.
