Eh. I'm not even motivated to do PvP - but yes, the fact that the queues take forever, the fact that ranking up takes forever and then you have to do it all over again if you switch GC for whatever reason... yeah, that totally kills it, imo. (No, I understand that what you already achieved is retained, but that's a different thing, you might not ever go back to your old GC.) And if I remember correctly... even Frontline and Wolves' Den ranks are separate.

Even sadder fact is that I as a caster am once again completely unmotivated to even try - yet more robes and reskins of the same long skirt model... no, thank you.

We could just, y'know, party and sign up with friends, and then be put in our respective GC's party once inside - could actually play against friends if they're in a different GC, which I believe would add more fun to it.
