Anyone knows why there is a 24v24v24 mode thats always on duty rotation? It's really frustrating to new players and you learn little to nothing about pvp. please add 8v8 modes.

We had 8v8v8. It got removed because they want to stick to a 72man map design.

There used to be a Feast 8v8 mode but they removed it since people weren't queuing for it outside of events like GARO.

The PvP playerbase in FFXIV, if there's no bonus incentive for anything else, will always gravitate towards the queue with the shortest queue times. There's a reason why individual Frontline map queues were locked and put in a map rotation.

People did queue for 8v8s, it's just people complained that how can it be called training when it wasn't the slightest bit relatable to the ranked mode. 8v8 map was bigger, more boxes spawned, playstyle in an 8v8 was just totally different and coordination was meaningless etc, also can you imagine 8 people all having access to a single focus countdown quickchat now? Lol.

In hindsight, we regret it. 8v8 is the kind of small scale pvp mode this game needs right now. We didn't know what we had until it was gone
