I am not upset. If SE wants more participants thanthey should evaluate how the mode plays. I am voicing my opinions on why I dislike the mode. Mechs are one. Lack of Kills being worth something being another, PVE objectives another, etc, etc.

Also to answer your question. Yes I will refuse to play the mode unless SE modifies how the mode plays. Just like almost every other player on primal right now are voting with their time. Which is why the queues are dead. We all have our different reasons. Some are healers which I don't have a problem with. Mine are listed above.

SE could modify the mode to satisfy 95% of the population and I can still dislike the mode which I think would be 100% better than the current status quo. What's sad is tyou are sitting there typing picking apart reasons why I dislike a mode when you aren't even looking at why the mode should be changed. It's dead Jim. The mode is dead.

It's dead because the player base can't figure out anything that requires even a little bit of thinking and teamwork.

I honestly can't think of what SE can do to get people to play PvP in FFXIV. Every mode eventually dies because people join for the incentives then leave once they realize it requires thinking to be played properly. Is Astralagos perfect? No. But they already hit what people complained about (healer stacking, mid being the end all be all) and people STILL won't play it because, again, it requires COMMUNICATION and teamwork.

People complained about PvP being too complicated and now we have this button mashing clown fiesta and people STILL don't PvP.

People wanted team v team instead of GC v GC v GC and, guess what, it's STILL dead.

The problem isn't wholly on SE, it's also on the community and the fact that most players just don't like PvP which is sad, PvP is all that keeps me logging in and after the last update I barely log in anymore.

FFXIV is a CASUAL game. Even our end game population is small, it's the biggest it has even been now because SE keeps making it easier and easier for people to try it. SE keeps trying to keep everyone happy which just isn't possible.
