Make it so changing GC's doesn't reset your PvP Rank

Greetings,

To coincide with the release of Frontline in patch 2.3, we’ll be changing the cool down period that you need to wait after changing your Grand Companies allegiance from 30 days to 15 days.

Aside from this, we currently don’t have any plans to make changes to how the system is currently set up.

SE you never cease to surprise; you obviously don't listen to your customers. Do as you please, I won't argue with you or any other trivial discussion... Simple put; you will have one less subscribing customer utilizing your new horrible program. To the rest of you beautiful people enjoy Frontlines, Back to other PvP games be eaz.

Frontline 7/15/14 (qued 7/12/14- stay tuned 72 hours your que will pop).

Cool. Let's have it so people can choose GC at will. That way if one GC on a battlegroup wins often, everyone can switch to it at whim and increase the queues dramatically since no one else will be using the other GCs.

In most other MMOs with a PVP system, once you choose your faction, it is set in stone. Can't change, ever. Or if you can (rarely) change, there is severe penalty. At least they are giving you the option to change with next to no penalty.

I'm sorry but losing your PVP rank is pretty harsh if you plan to keep on playing in Wolve's Den besides Frontlines, especially if you are R30+.

That's good, because I guarantee most people would rather switch back to their original FC than spend 5-6 months getting Rank 40 PvP on ANOTHER GC. Though, I guess if they win trade it up, they might get it done in that 2 weeks before they give up and switch back.

Is there any particular reason why it takes A MILLION YEARS to rank up in PvP? So tedious. And that's after you doubled the amount of xp you get!!

So what you're saying is that despite the clear point I made above your post... the final decision is that there really is some magical PvP wizard who wipes out my memory and makes me forget all the PvP exp and skills I earned prior to switching GC allegiance?

Between this and the fact that actual PvP gear means nothing in Frontline (ie. Morale stat is null and void), you can expect that many players will ignore this new content. What a shame...

I don't think you're understanding the situation right now. Changing GC isn't the problem, having to LOSE our PVP ranks when we swap is the biggest deal right now.

For the people who already has a good amount of work put into PVP, are you really gonna just see them split off to do solo queues or force them to give up their ranks to play with their friends?

That's a good start but it's not enough. There's a reason why a lot of pvp fans are still holding out for Frontline to redeem FF14's horrible excuse of a Wolve's Den. We still remember how it took 3 months for an actual class balance patch and like 5 months for us to actually get all pvp skills at the start.

Are we going to have to repeat this process again? Please just link this thread over to the pvp team, translate it to JP, and make them read it over again. I don't want to hear how Frontline become a deadzone and you guys thinking you're doing a service to us by taking in our feedback 5 months later.

Will this be retroactive? I just changed grand companies recently, and will still be in the 30 day wait period come the patch.

That's fine so long as you permit us to Frontline alongside friends of different GC affiliation, FC mates or otherwise.

That would defeat the whole purpose of Frontlines, if GC's didn't matter. He already said it was just a cooldown adjustment, which is great IMO because all my GC's were maxed and could never decide which was my favorite.
