A no new players feast queue?

Wow the numbers have dropped. I stopped at S3.

What u say makes sense. Still i believe having only ranked teams its much better system and actually promotes the e-sport element.

That's how it should be. But PvP in FFXIV is way too niche and a lot would have too change before light party ranked could ever be taken seriously; I mean, just look at the ladders. As a PvPer you either have to make due with what you have, which is the occasional frontlines and soloq Feast for ranked and "competition", or you have to transfer to the one server of your datacenter where most of the PvP community resides and play 4v4 in an unranked environment to get your fix.



B2T: That just wouldn't work in the field. First they have to fix their horrible matchmaking and rating system, then we can talk other changes. Rating decay if you don't play at least 10~ games a week, only matching players of similar rating (unranked with bronze, bronze with unranked & silver, silver with bronze & gold etc.) because under no circumstance should a top 10, or even a top 100 for that matter, player ever be matched with/against someone who is playing their first game; the thing is that the latter can only work if they punish players for not playing as otherwise games wouldn't pop at all. But seeing as pretty much any other solo queue mode uses such a system, I have no idea what needs to happen for them to pull their heads out of their a** and get it done.
