[DEV REQUEST] Please make the Hellhound Obtainable By More than Just the Top 100 PVP

[Nakanishi]

And therein lies the rub. The reward isn't necessarily skill oriented. It rewards whomever comes first and sits on their rank. That isn't equal opportunity. A person of equal or superior skill would struggle to rank on the basis of slow queues because people are sitting. If your only goal is the Hellhound, you have literally no reason to queue. Conversely, games like Overwatch prevent this by strictly making competition the only way to progress. Everything is obtainable from the onset. It may take you longer should you lack experience, but you need only play to obtain them eventually. That incentivizes people. Back when I played competitive PvP games frequently, if I stopped playing for a couple days, I would lose a rank or two because I wasn't actively participating. Thus, I am encouraged to play enough to keep my rank. FFXIV doesn't do that, hence one of the reasons queue times are so slow.

So tired of people bringing up how people just sit on their rank, so queues die, thus no one else can apparently reach top 100. Newsflash, players that are good that are joining the season late are and have been making it into the top 100 despite these supposed long queues. People have run alts late into the season and getting them into the Top 100. Stop belittling the players whom actually play PvP and fought their way to the top 100. Top 100 is still reachable even now. Blaming the queue times is a sorry excuse and has been proven time and again that even late into the season, it is possible to attain top 100, if you're "Good". The sooner the players that think they are better than they are accept the fact that they are just not good enough to be top 100, the sooner this bs excuse of long queues can die.

It's much easier to climb now, then it was in the beginning of the season where you would constantly fight the veteran players, now you can't even face them until you are Gold. Even then, if you get into the same match as them, you'd more likely than not be paired with them to increase your odds of winning.

can you show us the massive request for it?

This bolded word in your post, it hasn't appeared in mine. Can you show a PvP thread that requested the hellhound as a reward?

Yea, must be pretty tiring to hear the truth. So you'd be against a rating decay system, then?

I thought that was how requests worked.

Teach me, Grandmaster of Requests. Should they be phoned in instead? Maybe faxed? Perhaps a letter by carrier pigeon?

Do you mind showing us a vid/pic of you waiting 30-60m during prime time?

Also, can you show us the amount of games you played this season, just for a tad of validation. Thanks in advance.

Sorry, I didn't see this warning when I started posting in this thread: "You must have done x Feast battles for your opinion to be valid."
