The Fields of Glory (Shatter)

[Odessium]

yea, frontline activity on aether (north america) is pretty low

with regards to gc restriction, it seems that fear of exploit (ie. fixed matches) is the dev team's "official" reason for keeping gc restriction*. i'm not sure if this is still their primary concern or if they have any other secret reasons they can't disclose for keeping the gc restriction.

I'd say they don't give much attention to the PvP community in general. Yeah they make new modes but they somehow fail to keep earlier modes alive. Feast is already dead on Chaos DC. "Nah we keep GC restriction, so people don't win-trade somehow even though no one plays anything but Shatter now"
