Simple changes that would tremendously help PvP

[True-to-Caesar]

I hate to ask this usually, but at what rank are you playing usually? You recognize that some other games can have a good range of skill expression, yet don't want to acknowledge it there. I feel like everybody here suffers from heavy dunning kruger.

I probably have over 1K games of CC and several hundreds of old feast, yet I'm still learning every day. I can feel the improvement spurs at times.

What’s the point of a ranked mode when people literally win-trade and cheat their way up?

You also don’t need to play ranked to see the core failures of a PvP mode. It’s similar to the «you need to play 1000h and the game gets good!» argument. Why would I waste more of my time when other games do it much much better ?

It’s fine if you enjoy it, I honestly don’t and for good reason : plenty of better options out there with actual PvP focus and regular work done with updates.

None of them are MMOs because it’s genuinely the worst genre for PvP. Tried it with many MMOs and the conclusion is the same everytime.

If FFXIV was a reference for good PvP, we wouldn’t even have this discussion.
And they sure as hell wouldn’t have gone through this whole revamp because the mode was dead.
