PVP Adjustment
My experience with the Wolf’s Den has been both positive and negative since its introduction; it’s good that there is yet another method for the players to acquire the il70 and il90 gear different from the established dungeon/raid grind, allowing players to acquire high level gear at their own pace. However, the Wolf’s Den as it is currently implemented is not friendly to newcomers at all.

1. Are there any plans to reward solo queued players more so than a premade team? The reason being a team composed of a 3 members premade or full party is most likely much more coordinated in terms of strategy and communication than a team composed of mostly solo players drawn from the duty finder server. Therefore, I believe it make sense to give higher reward solo queued players (ex. More experience points per match).

2. FFXIV ARR has done a great job so far to cater to both hardcore and casual players, allowing players who treat the game as a casual past time to acquire similar equipment to those who attend the weekly endgame raid such as Coil at a slower pace. However, there seems to be a lack of consideration at the Wolf’s Den. Currently, there is little incentive for new players to participate in Wolf’s Den because it’s already filled with coordinated 3-men premade or full party decking out in il70 or il90 pvp gear, it’s very hard for beginners to break into the rank especially the experience points reward for the losing team is not nearly enough for new players to catch up in a reasonable amount of time. Are there any plans to introduce a rested bonus similar to DoL/DoW/DoM to the Wolf’s Den?

3. Are there any plans to allow a full party to enter Wolf’s Den and to be split into two random teams so friends can battle each other?

Thank you for reading

Is there any plans to add/bring back the Cracked Materia trade system.

[DukeBurden]

Can we expect to see new items that can be purchased with grand company seals?

Are there plans for new Free Company bonuses? Example; Increased movement speed outside of Duty.

Can you make a "Spur" button that would work as Sprint for your mount? Faster is better!

Thank you!

How will you be avoiding power creep for 2.2, and for that matter the long term future?

[Gramul]

What steps are you taking to ensure the relevance of the crafting system for the core gameplay in 2.2 if most crafted gear holds no value compared to dungeon gear?

Can you please let us have a "Citizen Class" which' capable of wearing any & all equipment for vanity purposes?

Would have no abilities, it would merely enable greater appearance customization for non-combat.

Can you please for MNK either increase a) Greased Lightning's duration by 2 or b) Form duration by 2?

Also for MNK, can you please remove Stun from Shoulder Tackle (so we can use it to quickly return to boss' without jacking up their stun-diminishment)?

For melee, could you please slightly increase the range with which we may hit moving targets with basic attacks or abilities?

The range at which basic attacks or abilities cancel or do not take effect against moving targets is far too small... especially once you factor in latency.

[Gesser]

Are there Big Plans for Costa Del Sol (I miss my FFVII party city Costa)?!?!

Will we ever see a Card Game or Blitzball-type game?!

We need more to do with other players apart from combat.

[Omnia]

Are there any plans to extend fairy's healing range to equal that of the SCH?

Thanks for taking our questions! I have a few different questions, although I'd be ecstatic if you were able to even answer just one

- As a fan of Mystic Quest, is there any chance we might see that game referenced in the future, such as an arrangement of its music or a guest-appearance by one of its characters?

- Would Moogles ever be considered to become a playable race?

- With so much excitement around the Lightning Returns event, might we see appearances from other heroes and well-known weapons?

- Right now, the game is designed around playing a single character, and leveling every Job/Class. What do you think about the idea of making it easier to have multiple characters, each focuses on a different Job?

- If you're able to answer, are there any plans to add either a new Job or a new playable Race any time this year, perhaps?
