    Simple fix to trading?

    1. Remove the ability to queue different languages for Wolve's Den in all brackets.
    AND
    2. Add another 4v4 option that rewards ZERO EXP AND ZERO marks, for people that wish to just practice/play around. POSSIBLY add a game list (game 1 game 2 game 3 w/ description and maybe even password protected) So people can choose which game server in order to play with friends etc, and at the same time this will allow "for fun 1v1 duels"

    The way I see it is if they remove language options in wolves den (which we don't need, at least for wolves) everyone from all servers will be queuing for the same server.. People can still try an queue dodge to try and win trade but since everyone is on the same language server now it would be nothing but a headache to try and q dodge if enough people are queuing.

    Any thoughts/ideas?

    Sounds about right.. Plus I would love the 1v1 duels.. I play dragoon and have a dragoon friend and we actually have done a couple of 1v1s basically whoever lost there team would forfeit the match...

    Yeah, I think people should remember though that PvP is NOT balanced around 1v1.. I have a feeling as soon as they implement something like that you'll see a ton of QQ threads about how 1 class is OP against another

    Liked this.

    Hopefully you get some more likes.

    To explain why people should like this, SE could consider doing this if we did.

    "Is PvP farming allowed" Thread had 7500 views. That is over 100k worth of monthly I come for SE. This provides better options for all PvPers.

    Ifa thread that focuses on banning the smallest problem with our current PvP issues can generate 100ks worth of collective bargaining power, but an actual thread that can improve PvP can't....

    Satire incoming.
    King, your 1 v 1's provided 180 exp, and 60 exp to 6 people who did nothing to earn their exp. And I'm not evening bring up the marks involved!(oh wait I just did.)

    Why you giving out free exp man? Win traders everywhere man. Who do you think you are giving free exp to 6 players who did nothing to earn it.

    Of course I am kidding, just joining in on the fun of trying to expand the definition of win trading. When 1 v 1's have nothing to do with win trading.

    For real though, like this thread.

    This.

    Giving the highest reward to 4v4 is like SE promoting wintrading.

    Not even that, the whole system of random only match making is terrible. It wouldn't be so bad if there weren't rules that added time as a penalty for ranks.

    I don't care if it provides exp or not, private or ranked PvP. Doesn't matter to me.

    Either way, there should be a way to host or search for hosts.

    A host match name, and average rank for team A and B, and a comment system akin to Party Finder would be a huge leap forward for PvP.

    Trust me, if the three best teams in my data network had Private Matches up that I can choose to connect to, even seeing their combined average rank, I would connect to them 24 7. For exp or no exp O.o

    Bump, really interested in what other ideas everyone else has. One person in my LS was telling me that removing languages wouldn't make a difference because of matchmaking, but like I said before with everyone queuing on the same language server now all you will see is a buttload of pops and withdraws, making it a headache to win trade.

    The reasons why people "win trade" is because of the absurd queue times past Rank 36, as well as the huge time commitment because of said queue times.

    Fix the queue times, you fix the trading.
