Theory of why pvp will NOT be fixed~

[Blubbers]

As C'eve said, not only has the Japanese community suggested we remove GC restrictions, but they have a post with 72 likes with this suggestion, far more likes any I've ever seen on any post on the american PvP forums.

If true then what is to stop everyone from queing as Ishgardian?

I don't see that as a problem. The people that are more into PvP would obviously all join ishgard and fill in the gaps on all sides while people who like sticking with their respective gcs can stay that way.

You don't think others will change GC's because of the new Ishgardian rewards as well as the fact that it would be new content?

There have been other threads of similar (or even higher) popularity and support that have gone completely ignored. Sadly.

Aye its the most recent attempt xD

[Guesswhat]

With only one map PvP isnt much better.

If they had a variety of maps and modes then this might hold weight but atm playing the same map and mode over and over makes it little better than PvE in terms of roteness.

Yes, well my point is that most PvE is about learning patterns. There is little AI involved. It's true that PvP lacks variation.

Of course many would, but I don't see how that would in any way effect the PvP negatively with the system I explained. It would only fill up the missing people for a match as hired mercs. They'd be fighting for the flames, adders or maelstrom, but get ishgardian seals instead.

When they said that the 3.0 FL would still maintain the GC restriction I hoped that they atleast implemented the IShgardian GC, maintaining anyway the FLs content a GC vs GC vs GC content but picking up ther first 3 GC among 4 that has 8 or 24 man in que, so atleast they mitigate the bottleneck GC company.

For example if Maeltrom has far more players in queue and adders are not queuing the next two FL pop would be:
Maelstrom vs Ishgardian vs Immortal
Maelstrom vs Adder vs Immortal

This will not fix the queue time, it will just help it a little, but in my opionion if they want to mantain this GC resctriction, they HAVE TO implement all the possible adjustment to make it decent, up to now they totally ignored it!
They could implement this like a bonus in the DR Frontline for GC in need!
I'll run as fast as I can in FL if I know that I will have a lower pop time cause to start it they need players from my GC.
And some other ideas that they "are taking in consideration" .... -.-
