Pong was PvP. Bad idea?

If some of you are choosing to not play with your friends because you invested so much of your valuable time into the grind that it is, I'm so sorry for you. As it stands, the PvP rank has no meaning other than fancy armor in that circle arena. PvP skills are unlocked and morale will have a limited effect in Frontlines. I'll venture a guess that Frontlines will provide a pretty good amount of PvP experience. With a good team of friends and the camaraderie provided by that would probably make the grind not that bad.

But the inherent issue is highlighted with this discussion. People don't play games for fun anymore. People play games because there are numbers in front of our face. Numbers that have to be maximized, minimized, theorycrafted as if we were Albert Einstein himself. Everyone is freaking out about these meaningless numbers in a virtual timesink world that gives you nothing of real world value. Play the game to have fun with your gdamn friends already.
