Morale Sorry to Beat a Dead Horse

[Sirren]

When patch 2.3 came out I was super excited to return to FFXIV after being away for awhile. I love PvE content but I am also a huge PvP player. I came back and started working on getting my PvP gear which I thought would be a big help thanks to the morale stat. When I found out morale didn't even count in Frontlines it was a slap in the face. What is the purpose of PvP gear. Square please address this. That makes no sense. Or perhaps you can make PvP content for more hardcore players. Also please make the queue based on your FC and not each individual player. I know people have made threads about this and I am sorry to make another one. I just really would like SE to fix or address this issue.

Morale Sorry to Beat a Dead Horse.

Morale (PvP Power) is always a stats that is killing PvP. It usually preventing new players from PvP. How is it fun for new players to get one shot by players that staked Morale? PvP gear is probably for Wolf's Den only, in which, Blizzard is using same approach wiht PvP power only works in Arena and Rated BG. I dont see why this is even an issue.

The issue is the only place you can use the gear is the Wolves Den and now that no one is doing the Wolves Den PvP gear is all but useless. I have been in the queue now for 30 minutes...What good is earning points to use gear that you can not use?

Well, they should never have added it in in the first place, The PvP gear should have been glamor only, glamor that works in pvp zones.

SE did the best thing by creating a ilvl wolves den and frontlines as ilvl synched. As it allows new players to compete on the same level (baring actual experience) and those who PvP casually to nter when they want and still be on the same level, Players which would be driven away by gear which would allow those who can or want to dedicate more time to PvP.

Which overall increases the pool of potential players as they arent being demolished based on gear. Which increases overall PvP activity.

Asa real example. SWTOR: During the honeymoon time of that MMO when players where still levelling, PvP acticity was massive due to the synching competition was pretty balanced. Then when they added more and more powerful PvP rewards that active PvP population diminished exponentiolly with each increase in PvP gear tier.

PvP should be competitive and fun. Not another gear grind. Keep that to PvE.

If the only reason you PvP is for gear, then you aren't, honestly, a PvPer.

[Sirren]

So people that mainly PvE are the only ones that should get rewards? That is ridiculous.

You're right. What really matters is skill. It should be the same way for PvE. Let the basic ilvl55 gear sync better than 110, and have rewards be glamour-only. That way everyone can play and have fun without worrying about pesky things like rewards or cool new items!

[Sirren]

Oh yes that would be awesome! Who needs silly things like rewards and cool items.

So mounts and titles aren't "cool" items or rewards?
