PVP Gear & Materia... Should it be removed?

[Zzxy]

I aggree with the materia in that they should just remove it at this point or scale up the original WD to 60 for us to find use for them. But even then, I fear that an upscaled WD would be no-man's land filled with Rank 50 people in their PVP gear if it were to still take materia and morale into account.

I could care less if someone had it handed to them

I would, setting the MNK/NIN Rank 50 set as my long term goal was what kept me coming back to the queue and grinding out the ranks. It was the driving force and gear lust that pushed me to keep trying and keep coming back (even after my GC fought fiercely for second place while the leading GC held 3 nodes).

Heck, it probably made me more self aware of the strategies and pitfalls people would make playing Frontlines just from all the matches I've played.

Removing the gear/rank-restrictions just gives players less incentive to queue up to an already struggling mode. You'd get a lot of people outright forgetting about pvp once they have the pieces they want if that were the case.

tl;dr pvp gear can be great incentive and if were taken out, what'd you replace em with? (Minions? Titles? Mounts?)
