Wolves Den !

[Nalien]

I mean... I intend no offense, but you know there's already an i80 bracket for Wolves' Den right?

No, actually. And I'm not seeing it on my Duty Finder, either. Just the same old Lv30, Lv40, Matched and Pre-made options. No sign of a i80 sync in any of them. Was there a quest to unlock it or something?

What kind of weight would you expect? Something that bleeds into PvE? Definitely not.

Why not? Such a thing doesn't have to be limited to PvP. Final Fantasy XI didn't involve PvP in its rankings at all if I remember correctly, it was mainly just "Who grinded the most seals?", the results of Frontlines matches could just be a part of it.

The only people who care for the GC restriction are either lore crazed or have few to no friends in other GC's.

I'm neither. Lore doesn't make me enjoy Frontlines, running into the same people (from other servers) does. That's made possible by having static teams. Give me the same Fangs verses Claws thing and that falls away completely. When I kill and Manderville a Flames healer, I don't really want them ending up on my team for the next round. Partly because I Manderville'd them, but mostly because I killed them so I assume they suck. I'd rather have the same healer I just had who's name I recognize instantly at the start of every match because we're always on the same team because teams are tied to Grand Companies.

I see what you're trying to accomplish, but you're trying to tackle an issue of people not being interested in Wolves' Den with an irrelevant solution.

The only part of my suggestion which aimed to get people interested in Wolves' Den was the Roulette part. The rest was just for maintaining balanced matches rather than throwing players against each other randomly (which Rank matching currently does a terrible job of). If there's already an i80 bracket then fair enough, rather than a i55/i70/i90/i100/i110 Roulette we can have a Lv30/Lv40/i80 Roulette, though I do abhor any level capped situation in this game.
