Please Revive Wolves Den

[DividedSky]

This needs to be bumped. I think this deserves a dev reply so we know what SE's plans are. It would be really nice to see a hot fix removing rank matching at least.

Q&A continued:

become a bit too fragmented and we're concerned that matching might become difficult. For this reason, we'd like to focus on Frontline first and once the number of these motivated players increases further we'd then like to add rewards, rankings, and a season system to the Wolves' Den. We'd like to proceed carefully so that those players who are really interested in PvP because of Frontline aren't discouraged because they try the Wolves' Den and get defeated immediately.

This is fantastic but it would be nice to know when. I'm reading Yoshi's response but it doesn't make sense to me. They have already made the appropriate adjustments (moral is fixed, and new players have all pvp skills from the get-go, except for the upgrade which would not make things all that uneven regardless of rank) so that new players would not suffer as badly as they use to. Their response sounds like more of a... "just look forward to it... (but wait 6 more months)"... kind of response. The solution is simple. Remove rank matching, revert back to 1 tank 1 heal 2 dps (any dps). This would fix the problem. I think they just haven't even looked at it.. at all... we should not have to wait 6 months for this simple fix.

That's exactly what it appears to be. Their priorities seemingly lie elsewhere at the moment. The game is still fairly new however. If you take a look at other games like world of warcraft, their arena system wasn't even released until the first expansion. But they did have several battlegrounds and dueling to compensate. Something we don't have.
