[Suggestion] The Fold is dead, and 5000 wins is impossible in it's current state.

[Levonn]

I was browsing through the achievements when I found the Alpha Wolf title listed under 5000 wins in The Fold. Then I thought to myself, OK this is going to take long, but I'm willing to do it ! Given about 50% winrate on average, I didn't mind playing 10,000 games in order to get the title.

One problem though.

The queue just never pops. I selected JEDF on duty and after waiting a few hours, it just doesn't pop. It's dead. Making this achievement/title seem technically impossible.

I know a few groups of people that get this achievement/title by forming groups of 8 and giving each other free wins until they reach 5000, and I'm not willing to join these sort of activities. PvP is a "sport" for me and I think achievements aren't worth it when not gained the proper way. Although in this situation I might have just no choice but to consider doing it myself.

Please fix the Fold somehow, or at least the means of acquiring this title. Thank you very much, and have a great day

I don't know if SE ever will fix this...they have so far taken a very odd position on maintaining PvP in that periodically they just add a completely new type of PvP which draws 95%+ of the focus of the very small PvP community and they never look back. Balance refinements and such are usually retroactive and all, but they never really update 'old' PvP types or even add new incentive to participate in the older battle grounds.

I never really got into the Wolves Den (The Fold now), as I was too self conscious to try small group PvP, at least initially, but even so I barely remember the rules to anything but Seal Rock at this point (haven't had the opportunity to play much lately -- lots of work and just bought a house, etc.).

I'd love for them to update all 3 types of level 50 PvP to level 60, or even to just allow for level sync to work both ways and open it up to all levels (eg. regardless of level/ class quest completion/ etc. you can register for PvP with all PvE skills unlocked and at least a suitable minimum level of stats -- like scale up to i130 if you're currently below the level cap in an i150 capped environment).

Given the luke warm level of enthusiasm FFXIV's player base seems to have for PvP on the whole, it's really counterproductive to lock people out and narrow the availability of worthwhile content.

What I would like is for them to balance fold for current ranked and then rotate feast and fold each season, that would give pvp variety and make it possible to get the rewards for all the modes (though front lines would be separate as it is much more casual)

This is actually a very good idea. Alternating availability sounds like a fair solution.

Just give the title to Feast; it is pretty much Fold's replacement anyways.

That could also work. But don't they have their own set of achievements as well ?

As Levonn pointed out, while the feast has replaced the fold, SE can't just swap and change the rewards like that logistically, as the feast is its own thing with its own rewards. Something would need to be done to make the fold relevant again.

This is also a very good solution. One which I oddly didn't think of in the first place
