more inscentives to play more PVP

[samurailargo]

Im a fan of frontlines, but recently I keep on running into hour long wait times for a 20 min match. with some groups of people setting up alliances to play pvp its frustrating to try to even try to load frontlines.

I know the rewards from trading in wolf marks are good. But these load times are discouraging and make them less noteworthy as time goes by. It would be nice to see more incentives for more players to want to join frontlines. i would like to see the option to buy alexandrite, crafting materials, and minions to be bought with wolf marks. It would definitely make waiting that hour more worthwhile then a set of armor.

The long Frontline queue times is caused by an imbalance in the number of members in each GC queuing. A few weeks ago, in our Data Center, Adders had near instant queues due to lack of Adders participating. If you have noticed an increase in queue times it is likely because the players wanting to be on the winning team and those seeking faster queues switched GCs.

I think good additions to rewards would be a little bit of gil and grand company seals, surprised the seals weren't there from the start since you play for your GC.

Since there's nothing you need to use your Wolf Marks on, spend them on i70 PvP gear and turn them into GC Seals through your Supply/Provision representative. I spend mine on Coke/Potash to sell. But I agree, OP. There needs to be more things for us to buy, along with some exclusive items that can only be acquired through PvP to get more people into FL and WD.

If they could remove the rank requirement on pvp gear so you could wear them without dedicating your life to pvp, and continue to wear them even when you switch gc allegiance to one where you aren't ranked high, then that could be an incentive to play. I like some of the rank 40 weapons but that rank cap is too distant to give me any motivation. The GC glamor sets from hunting can be obtained in less time.

i dont think we need incentives to do PVP.
fun PVP is the incentive.

however, the biggest problem is queue times.
in a perfect world they would abolish the GC requirement or, even better, abolish the Data Center segregation
and just make PVP worldwide. they needed to have separate Data Centers after launch due to the onslaught of
players funneled into content. but far fewer people play PVP. i cannot see why it is even necessary to keep these
roadblocks unless there is no way to have PVE content on DCs and PVP content worldwide simultaneously.

PvP is still on the crawl stage

I do not believe that the JP Data Center would want to merge with the NA/EU Data Centers and I am more to believe it would cause a problem. The culture for both areas is very different in PvP (since we only mention PvP here) and I am not talking about past issues brought up about racism or any related stereotype. Just that things are not as simple as just suggesting something and having developers do it, more focus to big pictures when you talk about such issue.

There are many things more to consider if you want to talk about merging.
The real root of the problem is the NA people do not find much reason to PvP for many reasons? I understand most western people have the ability of 'it doesnt matter and i dont care' which I think might be one of the problems when PvP is concerned?
I never made much suggestion personally to incentive threads since I believe PvP should only be rewarding PvP related items and that all other items should be to their respective things, at least until the developers feel enough time has been devoted to the activity before implementing ways to obtain currency or other things elsewhere (i.e. allied seals).

This mentality of wanting many things while doing only 1 activity of the game is present in many other PvP games. I am not accusing anyone here and sorry if I offend people. If I look through a different lens, why do the JP community still PvP so much and the NA does not?

I only have voiced that GC-only PvP be removed because it is the only suggestion with a reason that can be used in Lore since most changes would affect Lore for others who focus on it. Removing PvP gear rank requirement is also a bad idea since it is counter-productive.
