    I don't have a problem with it. As someone who enjoys PvP in FFXIV, despite its flaws, I was irritated by the amount of win trading, gatekeeping and abuse present in ranked PvP content.

    The players who earned rewards in ranked PvP still retain a period of exclusivity. They can also point to the date of their achievements if they really want to prove that they did it first.

    I suspect that the players who genuinely enjoy PvP will continue to commit whereas those who only did it for bragging rights will cry foul.

    Yup, maybe more of the playerbase will actually engage with this new mode.

    Honestly, it was a rollercoaster during the whole PvP section. First I was in, then I was out, then I was all in.

    I enjoyed the PvP in HW and somewhat in SB but have stayed away for the most part once the Garo event ended, I'm actually looking forward to the new reward system and mode.

    I myself learned to play a Healer and played countless matches often paired with frustration to get the Season1/2 rewards. Now everybody who plays Frontlines will run Around with Season 1/2 crown and the iconic Coat?

    One can just hope that there is a missunderstanding.

    Edit:

    I see most of you are on board with this but of course you are not in my shoes. Well, i guess we can give everybody everything.

    Had i known that those items would become available for basically free, i wouldn't have put so much effort in obtaining them. I played PvP in every MMO i touched, not just because of rewards but because i enjoyed it. In FF though i specifically took more time to learn how to play Healer so i have a chance to get those rewards, i guess it is only a matter of time till 1.0 Items are given away too since we now go the route to eliminate anything Special.

    Edit2: I just remembered that Yoshi P once said that they will not bring back old Seasonal Feast rewards, so the Feast items mentioned will in deed be the ones that were available all along with Wolf collars. Thread can be closed.

    Nothing is sacred or safe when it comes to rewards. Eventually they'll give everyone the option to get it somehow, someway. It was only a matter of time. You can blame the win traders for that in the top 100 every season
