FFXIV seriously needs to Revamp the way pvp is played.

Also, is this an alt? Says you just won your first match of FL yesterday. Congrats.

Definitely not an alt but thanks for trying to attack me instead of the argument.

If you look at just multiplayer games in general, there's an audience for Smash Bros who loves 4/8 player FFAs with items and all the stages. There's also people who just want to do 1v1 with no items and get serious about competitive integrity. Both are valid.

Smash wasn't created to be competitive. it was designed as a party brawler stated by the creator himself. the community made it competitive. PvP in MMO's are inherently made to be competitive not about random silliness. So this isn't a fair comparison.

it becomes much more likely that by random odds there will be a noticeably uneven match, and when there are fewer bodies, it's much, much, much easier to tell the outcome ahead of time. It had much more people just AFKing or giving up, as it was much more predictable than 72 player.

large portions of People afk in FL too just like large groups afk in alteric valley on WoW.
and if the groups were smaller its bound to happen to a small amount of people too but games have contingencies for things like this otherwise every other games pvp wouldn't work. and in the end games would be shorter so these are even less of a problem because you should just be able to re-queue and get into a game.

at the moment ff14 pvp is the lazy way out. games are big for no matchmaking, gear doesn't exist because they don't want to make a disparity between players, and classes are very similar in play style because class balance is hard.
