You know what's even better than spending 130 hours grinding win trades to Rank 40 in PvP? Doing it 2-3 times so you can do Frontlines with your friends. Because I have a month to spare to grind that out.

Lack of awareness from dev team is very troubling. Do they believe we all have OCD? Are we meant to die in net cafes grinding out pointless nonsense? Or is it a trick, and we're supposed to ignore the troll content entirely instead of grinding it out?

Reminds me of when FFXI team wouldn't change Fafnir/Nidhogg for years and years to a pop NM because "Hey guys, fighting a dragon at the top of a giant tree is SO EPIC, you should thank us for this epic opportunity!" when in reality you could kill it with less than a full PT (so epic...), just had to camp it religiously as if you had no life, then worry about getting mpk'd on top of trying to claim over botters... all the while watching the most vile text fly by in say/shout. Amazing.
