Increase PvP Marks/Exp

[Mardel]

Okay, lets face it it... "FFXIV is extremely casual." (Yoshida -iirc)

So why is the PvP system the worst grind in the whole game? To reward the valiant players who can spend hours grinding to get higher ranks? Even they know it is a horrible grind, and you pretty much have to spend hundreds of hours to get ranks. This is beyond poor PvP design and does not make it fun. Please note I am not saying there should be free hand outs, because of the QQ. The system needs various overhauls and people are welcome to add to the list below.

Here are 3 major changes that would help with the grind known as PvP.

1. There is no reason why purchased gear should have a rank requirement to wear it. If you have the marks to buy a piece of gear you should be able to wear it.

2. Increase Wolf Marks / EXP across all forms of PvP. The amount you get now is piss poor. Seeing the time sink alone deters people from continuing to PvP
2a. Increase EXP across all forms of PvP, but keep the wolf mark penalty intact. (alternative to 2)

3. Stop the 1 minute wait before each battle. Seriously we all know to kill the healer, or the squishy. 20-30 seconds is enough.


Next are just 3 completely random ideas.


1. Give us a grand company leve that has us do X amount of matches for the day. (since GC are associated with PvP that grants us a bonus amount of exp/marks)

2. Limit the amount you can sprint in PvP. I know healers/mages need it to survive (supposedly) but that's just bad game design.

3. Add a daily PvP roulette that gives us a large amount of marks/exp.

Below is a link to a spreadsheet (not mine) that shows how bad the grind is .. from 30-40 alone.

So far people seem to be more for:

1. Increase Wolf Marks / EXP across all forms of PvP. The amount you get now is piss poor. Seeing the time sink alone deters people from continuing to PvP
1a. Increase EXP across all forms of PvP, but keep the wolf mark penalty intact. (alternative to above)

2. Add a daily PvP roulette that gives us a large amount of marks/exp.

3. Give us a grand company leve that has us do X amount of matches for the day. (since GC are associated with PvP that grants us a bonus amount of exp/marks)

(Hopefully devs look into this more.)
