Honestly, I prefer feast over crystal conflict.

Don't get me wrong. I'm not down talking cc. I will grind that all day over frontlines (anything to keep away from the daily roulettes). I can finally go back to staying up all night playing pvp. However, the amount of thrill that I'm currently experiencing in crystal conflict is not as big as I had it in feast. It doesn't feel survival driven to me since everyone is focused on a moving crystal. I wish that they would have actually kept their word and locked the mode instead of deleting it altogether.
