FF14 needs WvW or RvR

[Allegor]

GW2's WvW are kind of fun, though they also feel like you're just going with the herd half the time xD

I do wonder, though, wouldn't they just be "more elaborate Frontlines?"

Yup, they're quite literally server-wide Frontlines, and Frontlines as we know them are an unbalanceable zergfest dumpster fire that everyone only does because it's worth half a bar of XP even if you lose soooooo.....

I was actually talking about this a couple days ago to some friends. Frontlines are literally miniature WvWvW, for better or for worse, and it'd be really nice if they'd add different styles of frontlines to the game, such as capture the flag, ACTUAL defend the point (unlike what we have now), king of the hill, etc. Some of WoW's battlegrounds and Guild Wars 1's (ONE, not TWO) Jade Quarry, Fort Aspendwood, and Alliance Battles were so much fun and I wish we had access to those styles of modes here.

Decline of objective based PvP IMO started with FPS games. Back in the days of stuff like Unreal Tournament PvP FPS games regularly had multiple objective based game modes to play on and those objectives added depth to the match. Now pretty much all you see is shoot ppl till you die or win.

Crystalline Conflict has proven to be a HUGE success...probably much more than the devs expected... so Id definitely get behind this idea....with one specific condition. The chat system as it is has to stay, toxic players wont have the opportunity to vent their spleens, which in a way is as it should be.

Provided it is instanced, provided it is kept OUT of the open world, Im all for it.
