The Feast PvP Player Interviews!

[Renault]

Etros, thanks for doing this. I think it could turn into a fun and informative series of interviews.

To all those saying you don't like the idea, it's simple, you don't have to. If you don't want to hear the opinions and tips of high-ranked and high-skilled PVP players, then this kind of thing is probably just not your cup of tea. I for one would like to hear the thoughts of other experienced players because honestly I just never really get a chance to speak to them or listen to their thoughts and ideas on certain aspects of the game.

It will be informative and entertaining to some, and boring to others, and that's really ok.

I think the biggest misstep here was just putting the names of who hes planning to interview in this thread about the idea. It seems like a lot of people feel like it's not about being good it's about being popular or from a certain server. The names he listed probably didn't help that and is part of why he's been met with criticism.

Personally my opinion is it does sound like a good idea in theory to interview strong pvpers. Ideally he'd want to interview people from different servers and data centers as well. It's a pretty big feat though when figuring out who to interview and making people believe you're credible enough to do said interview without bias, especially if all those interviews are coming from just Balmung/Aether.

I think he should do it if he wants though. It does sound like a fun little idea

Well, he's FROM that server. He selected people that are well known in the PVP community, which happens to be strongest on Aether data center, and the better players being from Gilgamesh and Balmung. Why wouldn't you want to interview the better and more popular players? I think it's unfair to tell the guy he should be interviewing other people...And then not give him suggestions? I'm from Balmung myself, and though I know several names of Gilgamesh players, I can say I don't know a single person from Zalera/Cactuar/Adamantoise that really stands out to me as being fantastic or well known.

I'm not trying to be conceited or rude, but it's just the truth. Gilgamesh and Balmung have more established PVP communities and therefore are home to some of the better and more well known players.
