[Guesswhat]

It's understandable why one would limit one's imagination around the current DF...

I have argued before that the PvP shouldn't be based on the PvE DF, rather some sort of host/join system. Again, there are multiple way of imagining this. If we're stuck with the DF for PvP (which I guess we are), you could flag yourself as a wildcard while still being tied to a standard GC. When solo Qing, you originally start to Q as your GC, but if the queue is taking too long you are assigned to a GC that halts the queue. It doesn't have to be a 4th GC. Some random quest could open up for a wildcard option in DF.

Of course, popping up in your hated GC could still be a problem. However, I think these sorts of scenarios would be very rare. Even now there are plenty of possibilities to sabotage your hated GC.

All in all, the most important thing for me is to play. At the current state it's not playable because of the queues. Fixing the queues in should be high on SE's PvP priority list.

Definitely. The ques have always been a problem in the current system, and something needs to be done.

Honestly, I was surprised when I first say that PvP runs on DF. I thought they'd have implemented an entirely separate system for it, and I still think they should have. Match hosting might not work, seeing as how we're on dedicated servers, however, setting up a completely separate server for PvP purposes only might have been a better option. We can't communicate with our FC's while in matches anyway, so why not give us a door to go through that places our character on a PvP dedicated server which runs off of an entirely different set up than DF? If they had done it that way, we could have streamlined the game menus a lot more, and set up specific match ques based on game modes instead of being chained to DF... which doesn't work at the best of times, even in PvE.

Either way, they gotta do something. As much as it would suck in the down time, the best thing they could do is completely overhaul and redesign the system. It has too many flaws that need to be fixed.
