SIGN if you Hate PVP GC Restriction & Want Change

[Dhex]

I live to PVP but I don't in FFXIV because what the GC restrictions have made of the queue time.


Fix this one thing and you fix your PVP content.

I don't even know why they keep doing this. Pardon my saltyness but jesus christ this was brought so many fucking times everywhere. The development team is bragging about how much they listen to the community yet they still created a PVP mode with GC company functionning, like what the heck? PVP has certainly balance problems but it remains fun for a lot of players and many just like me aren't playing it because we can't bear to wait at least 30m to find a game. I can't play with my friend because they aren't in the same GC and I don't want to change mine and my friend neither.

They said they planned a lot of things in 3.0 for PVP but I don't even know SE thought they should get rid of their system instead of working on anything else. Ranking and everything is fun but what's the point if we can't play it?

Huge complaint since prior to Frontlines' release way back when... persistent complaint since... escalated, overwhelming complaint now.

When will you side with your fan-base on this one, SE? Please...

Signed just because I want the change, not getting my hopes up though. :c

They've given us something great and then ruined it with the worst possible possible decisions for a PVP game mode...
- Long and completely unnecessary real world waiting, to do something in a virtual environment. I could travel across town and play a game of tennis faster than I could get into a Frontline match.
- Being locked into the same pool of teammates and competitors for the long term, which means players can expect very similar results match after match... and with 3 parties in your Alliance, the ability to influence the overall outcome is limited. It's great when your GC has other strong players joining the match, it's hell on earth when they're terrible because you're going to be stuck with them again and again. It's because of this people get demoralized and stop playing, leading to increasingly bad queue times.
- The one thing that would balance things under the current system- the ability to change GC's- has a 15 day lockout, and even worse you start over at 0 and lose access to all your PVP rewards, can't even glamour your previously equipped PVP gear. So the more expert the players are, the bigger the penalty for changing GC, increasing the polarization that exists on each server where one GC becomes dominant and players in the rest have to accept much higher chance of losing unless they forfeit everything to swap. How about if people had to relevel their jobs from 1-60 to queue into Alexander Savage with a different group of players unless they're willing to stick with the same one that just can't clear?

SE, we resent this.

Edit- I can't underscore enough the opportunity that is being squandered here... we finally have a game mode we can play as soon as enough players are willing because there isn't a preset role restriction. Adding the GC restriction is a major unnecessary gate to letting people be able to simply play the game.

End the restrictions.

I like pvp, currently at max rank with over 600 frontlines and over 500 wolves dens. I do not agree with removing the GC restriction. I like my team spirit, fighting for the Flame and Flames only. I do not want restrictions.
A 15-20 minute queue is not going to kill you.

I am in support of this change or one similar to it. I am of the belief that story should NEVER be more important than gameplay in a video game. It is, of course, appreciated when it has both, but I have many methods at my disposal to consume story: books, movies, t.v., etc, but video games should be first and foremost interactive. If queue times are prohibitive to playing it then action should be taken to alleviate them. In this case it is a fairly simple decision, to me, to leave GCs in as they are but remove the GC restrictions to queuing for PvP. I understand that it is there to form camaraderie with your fellow GC members, but it doesn't and it won't so long as nobody wants to play it due to queue times or other prohibitive features.

Also, the gear looks stupid from the specific GC and it would be appreciated if CASTERS COULD GET NON-ROBE GEAR TO WEAR!!!!

Signed. This has gone on for too long. It needs to be addressed.
