Popularize PvP = Faster Queue?

[Teslo]

My opinion on the matter may be a little biased because I don't like to PvP and never will, but...

PvP in this game is essentially a minigame, much like it was in FFXI. The game itself is the storyline and the things you do in your Eorzean travels. Your trials with the primals or Midgardsormr, as well as your struggles against the Empire. Final Fantasy games have always been story first, minigames galore as a distraction/something extra to do. PvP should not (As it is currently) be a primary part of the game. The struggle in Carteneu is all well and good, but

it's been proven to be a diversion by unscrupulous members of the Uldahnian elite to distract adventurers and leaders alike in a bid to simply make more money

, which makes it a really great minigame, but not a central part of the story. In my opinion this is how it should be.

TL;DR : Want more PvP? Should probably play a game with PvP as a central theme.

I don't think anyones saying that PvP should take away players from main content, or that it should take a front seat to said content lol. I mean, a large amount of dungeons are essentially side content (made mandatory if you want to use the roulette), not to mention that after your first run... you're likely not going to care about nearly any instance you do besides the benefit from the grind, so that might be something to keep in mind lol. But it's more about just making the content attractive to do in general is all. Imagine if Chocobo racing required a full party of players to race at any time (no NPCs to use), the side content of racing would be dead. While a lot of folks wouldn't care at this point, some do... and that's kind of what you see in this thread. It's a fun side event to do, but unlike the easy fix with Chocobo Racing, you can't exactly do PvP without the other P lol.

I like this game, and I like PvP from time to time.
And, as a pld, I very much like to be able to glamour that gold Lion type armor you can get on PvP.
I already have bought the full armor...but I don't have the rank to wear it yet (and no, you can't glamour something you can't wear).
I'm rank 29 but It's quite hard to rank-up due to the enormous queue on PvP.

TL;DR : no I don't want to play another PvP game. I want to play FFXIV, but I would like to have faster queue and PvP when/if I feel like doing it.
