PVP Should Give Experience Points

[Draco]

With all the classes available to level in this game and the limited ways to do so, PVP should be a viable way to lvl a character LvL 30+. For instance, my PUG & WAR are classes that I only want to PvP. A PvP match should give the same amount of experience points as completing a top tier fate of that exact lvl range, plus a small bonus to the winning team. This will not disrupt the experience from quests or dungeons, or the story, as there are many classes to lvl and many ways to experience everything.

edit: I have been informed that exp is given to the winning team only. Should be both teams, however, winners should get a bonus. Same idea of running a dungeon and getting good dungeon exp, but bonus only given upon completion/win.

agreed. more different ways to level up shouldn't hurt, especially since people are already complaining about being bored and the game is only a few months in.

hopefully 2.2 doesn't face a 1 month delay like 2.1 did.

2.1 is actually 1 month late because of the issues we had the first month of release.

As for more content and this Exp for PvP...

Even with exp reward it would only benefit mostly new players since the 2.0 Fate grind era made a lot of people max all their DoW and DoM to 50 fast.

It will be nice for another method of level but will feel like a slap on the face for longer played players as something that should have been added in the first place.

and you know what happens when player who play longer doesn't get any benefit from this kind of content.

oh give me a break. I've played MMOs long enough. 'wha wha us veterans took forever so everyone should take forever and everything should be painful'... I'm sick and tired of hearing it. just because .you. had to 'suffer' everyone has to?

eh. no. just no.

ps: yes I know what happens when the 'old' players don't like something. nothing bad happens. games only survive if new players are happy.

pps: you're sadly very mistaken if you think the majority has more than one class (or even all) at lvl 50. the vast majority will benefit from more ways to level up.

Yes I know people will benefit more from these and yes old players will always complain about something new no matter what. After all people did ask for loot lock out instead of Dungeon lock out and look how things already turned out.

On topic:

I kind of think the exp reward from PvP should have been part of PvP. It certainly would have motivated more people to use other classes and Jobs in current PvP.

I totally agree. This is very a very important and simple implementation that is much needed.

Yes, exactly what pvp needs. People in costumes or naked joining just for the exp. Bad enough people join and afk for the loss points. You guys cry about every time sink, but then complain not enough content.

What are you talking about? Who said anything about costumes or naked people? All other MAJOR MMO's that have PVP pre endgame offer exp rewards along with other rewards and there is never any negative issues with afk people or half naked costumed players. I do not know what games you have played in the past, or if you are just negative to all criticism. Noone is complaining about a time sink or talking about lack of content. Try to stay on topic when you respond to forum posts. Noone has gone negative until you.

so... hm.. not sure why this is an issue, really. even if people do this, they will always be on 'both sides', meaning you will still have a chance of either having good people on your team - or not. there will always be gear and skill difference. on both teams. they won't try to specifically queue with you.

not forgetting to mention that this game is prime example of more restrictions only meaning people will be more creative in their ways to fck people over. (nothing's stopping people from playing in costumes now, y'know)

Hm...no. Progression via PvP is the last thing this game needs - It's a PvE based game. MMOs with a huge PvP focus, sure, but this game doesn't need PvP to become a central leveling mechanic.
