Crystalline Conflict Party (with Friends) Request:

[OMGJesuis66]

CC *absolutely* should have a party system. The mode itself is VERY frustrating to play Solo, regardless of Casual or Ranked, because simply people do not listen to Quick Chat, throw themselves at Crystal, and never follow anyone calling shots or anything. FFXIV has a mentality against competitive PvP, but CC intent is to provide a place for Competitive PvP. Therefore, not being able to properly communicate, or play with friends, is a massive detriment.

And if you're that worried about a SoloQ being stomped by a team? That's simple. Make a Queue for teams only, and make a Queue for solo only, in Casuals, at least. That way everything should be equal, right? There's hardly any enjoyment in playing an unbalanced mode, with very bad networking, by yourself and seeing how you're completely unable to turn the tide of the match because one or two selected few that seem to be completely forgetting what the mode is meant for.

That kind of mindset should stick to Frontlines, where they plagued the mode and made it also equally unenjoyable because no one really cares about winning or losing.

I think people just don't know how to play. They care about winning but they don't know how to read chat during combat, what the chat commands even mean, they quickly learn that they should stand in the crystal which is the reason why they run in solo, because they think they have to accumulate time inside the circle and they don't know about many other fundamental things in CC. They mean well and try really but they just dont and wont know unless they get external help, the game doesnt explain itself.

I can agree with that.
Equally, both are a game's fault, but at the same time, people do not really feel invested in learning PvP in this game.
And offering them help, or just trying to explain things, more than often is taken wrong or just straight up refused.

There's very little motivation to keep people playing it. Even when we had cool rewards like the PvP Sets, all that happened there was Win Trading. It's just the mentality that exists in the game, I guess.
