Why aren't Wolf Marks an option?

[loreleidiangelo]

I like tying it in to Wolf Marks rather than awarding the same amount of currency for win/loss. This was the huge problem that veteran PVPers had with the Nexus light grind stage. On a personal level, I don't really mind noobs/bads, but the auto-run-into-wallers really pissed me off. At least TRY, jeez. You may actually have fun.

Why weren't GC seals an option either? If we were going to be forced into fate grinding again, why not give us something to spend our seals on?

Another great method they seemed to gloss over. Te reason for Wolf Marks and not just some random new currency is that it rewards people more for winning, unlike law and eso.

I personally would support this as long as people could not just bum rush PvP and grind out the relics way faster than any other method just because I don't want one method to become the "best" method which then becomes the "only" way to do it.

However, my guess is that they want to keep PvP progression completely separated from PvE progression, even though they sort of break this rule to a point already with tomes acquired through PvP.

I think that maybe the best way to handle implementing something like this would be making items available for purchase with Wolf Marks but limiting the number that you can purchase per week so that it gives the option of PvP but doesn't make the other options obsolete.

The best way would of course still be to do some of each of the options.

Are you sure you want people who don't care about PvP to be stepping into your games? I already seen enough people complain about others who don't care about playing properly because they'll get their lights and tomestones in the end anyway.

Honestly, I rather PvP be populated then dead like it is now. And with wolf marks, there is an incentive to at least try and win a game and not just afk all match.

Wasted opportunity, I really wanted to start doing pvp and add it as one of the options for the relic would have been awesome, but we get to grind the same content that we had months ago and honestly I was expecting something different because I was already bored of that content, when the game starts to feel like a chore I just unsub. I'll unsub today and wait what comes for 3.2 if is the same thing as every patch well......

Great to see some support for this on the general forums! I also made one on the PvP forums yesterday, which has gotten some pretty good support, too: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...he-Anima-Quest

Make it so, SE!

If you gate relics behind pvp, then people aren't going to bother trying their best. Especially if people don't want to be in pvp to begin with. I don't know why some people think mixing pve content into pvp content is a good idea at all.

How would it be gated behind pvp? Nobody said take away all other options and only allow the items to be bought with pvp currency. That would be gating it behind pvp. It would have to cost a lot of wolf marks, like 18k to 20k for 1 item to balance out with the other pve grinds. I just want a reason for people to do pvp. Im tired of hour long queues for one match.
