I'll Forever be Bronze

And sure, tell me to git gud while you're at it like everybody else on the damn forum. PLD is impossible to climb with compared to other jobs. The fact that it's a team game where nobody wants to work together obviously shows that Ranked is an utter shite show and should be shut down.

I'm late to the party on this one.

Stop trying to win. Start being as annoying as humanly possible. Get in people's heads and make sure they're miserable when playing against you. Seriously, I'll say it again. Your life ideal is to be as obnoxious as possible, that's your new win condition.

You cant count on your team.

You can count on your ability shut down people and make them wish they just didnt play the game.

Purposely overextend and get good at using defensives and stuns and kiting away from people to waste time. It doesnt matter the rank, ff14 players are unsophisticated when it comes to pvp and will take the bait 80% of the time. This will work even up to platinum/diamond.

Get good at sitting on the point until their whole team gets there, then kite around a corner (most teams wont follow) to drop agro, then back on the point when they start trying to push forward. Waste.That.Time.


Climbing will be a byproduct of you just being obnoxious.


Edit:

Also turn off your chat, completely. No channels. You don't talk anymore, you emote like a mime.

It's ultra effective. Make sure your character has an obnoxious laugh. Turn off emote messages to chat. Spam it so that everyone hears. It will haunt their dreams at the end of the night.

Have the squat and pushup emote? No? Time to grind it. Then spam it on people who are dead.

FF14 people have massive egos, they will tunnel vision you to no end if you bruise their egos.

This ends up making them waste resources on you (which you've become a master at ducking out and drawing out fights) and give your fledgling team mates the ability to blast at least one person down.

Mind game is like 80% of the battle.
