I agree that Feast should have gotten some kind of daily bonus.

That said, I think even if Feast had a daily bonus, or Rival Wings had a daily bonus, I think FL would grossly dwarf them in participation. Like, even when RW had moogle tomestone rewards, it had no major impact on FL queues, and FL queues remained fierce (during usual FL queue hours) while RW rapidly dried up. To me this is indicative that, love it or hate it, FL is the most popular PvP mode by a landslide even without extrinsic rewards.

I think Feast and Rival Wings are a write-off; with the former I can see a small dedicated community keeping it going in arranged matches, while the latter is struggling even with a dedicated community trying to arrange it. I do think RW could survive if it had a daily bonus and way better maps that are easier to digest rather than trying to cram a dozen maps into one.

Feast though... might be drowned out with the new PvP mode coming with Endwalker. I think FFXIV has a gaping hole in its PvP repertoire of small-scale activities. It needs something not as volatile as Frontline, not as confined as Feast, and not as indigestible as Rival Wings. Which, crazy enough, every MMO but this one has had. I think sometimes the FFXIV dev team overdesigns things when people would love something like capture the flag or deathmatches with a few dozen players on a map that isn\\'t basically the MMO equivalent of Final Destination.
