Please remove gear advantages in PVP

[KageSama]

This is Final Fantasy not some esport game if you want that kinda competition you're in the wrong place. Just be grateful we even got pvp and wait for them to make adjustments. But, asking to remove gear because you're lazy/casual is silly.

If I wanted to play a game that didn't require time investment I wouldn't play an MMO. You are confused. Go play League of Legends or something...my god.

It saddens me that casual non-pvpers always ruin MMO PvP it has such potential!

Yeah, it's really annoying.

"hello,
im posting here because it seems the gear equalization or bolster crowd is bullying those who support a gear progression system

first of all, let me say i think theyve done a really good job making pvp fun here , the gameplay is very fun, in my opinion --- I like it a lot !!!

i think its those asking for bolster who are insulting those who disagree with them, calling them bad, all gear no skill, who cant play any other games

let me say without bragging, that i love pvp game, and i can be competetive in any game im choosing to play, whether its an rts like sc, fps like cs, or mmo

and i enjoy RPG since i started gaming because i like building up my character. playing to earn reward and becoming more powerful.

whether or not there is gear bolster i will just get in the game and play. im not going to come crying on the forums about my own inadequacies

the fact is , crafted hq pvp gear is competitive right now and if you have it, it comes down to how your team plays.

and another thing is, its not world over if you lose a game. right now im playing regular matches and i just queue up, sometimes i get a team in 55-70 pve gear and we face a 3man premade team with pvp 70 piece already. we try and we lose, sometimes i get a good team who wins. when its over i still commend who has tried well and i queue up for another match, i dont come crying to the forums fix this fix that. give me equal gear. maybe if you just play the game and actually have fun you wont have so much to complain about.

[lordbones]

also i think people cant comment much on balance issues like cc duration when most games are between people who dont have pvp gear right now, nevermind the materias, which imo are for endgame.

i also think the time it takes to get the gear seems about right , right now. im looking forward to playing hard to earn my gear and then facing other teams who have done the same. i have a friend who will be catching up and im confident when they enter the arena with level 55 gear they can work their way up and it will come down to whos on their team and how they use their skills in the fight to who wins, not just gear. also i will be switching classes and im not afraid for when i need to enter in fresh 55 or 70 gear."

People don't even want to deal with forum trolls...Had someone anonymous message me in game because of how bad the forum community is sometimes and didn't want the drama.

1. Competitive players have fun by seeking fair competition. This becomes more difficult when you have people facerolling with gear/summoners. This is literally far less fun because of this.

2. You support the gear system because you currently profit greatly from it. I've seen this time and again - the people denying a gear gap exists or that it is harmful to competition are those who profit the most from it.

This issue will get much worse once people are in full ilvl 70/90 gear with tons of resist materia, CC's will last 100% duration on you and 30% reduced duration or less on the entire opposing team. How exactly is that remotely fair? It's not, balancing CC durations around gear is probably one of the worst ideas SE has ever had, up there with Embrava + Perfect Defense zergs to beat all content in FFXI for a year or more.


Resist materia needs completely removed.

[Raenryong]

At the very least, morale and -CC duration should be consistent across all PvP gear. I can accept small statistical increases in the other stats, but the big ones are staggering. This will discourage PvE equipment more strongly than it is now (Allagan weapons in particular are way too powerful), while providing some progression for those who require it.
