Wolves den needs more insentive

[Brianmj]

An honest question. Is FFXIV the first game you've played online? Player noncompliance is so common in multiplayer online games and is even much worse in games other than FFXIV. To expect not to see something like this would be considered an unrealistic expectation.

No. I've played FF11, PSO, Counter Strike, Quake 3, Unreal Tournament, and Marvel vs Capcom 3 over the years. I know noncompliance is pervasive throughout online games. It's just that incentivizing is not the solution. People should trickle into PvP at their own pace. You guys lost the Wolves' Den, I lost Secure. Square could do things to the interface - maybe let people see how many have queued while waiting instead of dropping us into the void like it currently does.

Improving PVP interface would be an incentive in itself though. Incentives don't always have to be tangible rewards such as mounts, titles, or prize money. Simply greater visibility of who's queued and who's not through an improved PVP interface may be enough of an incentive to get people to queue to see if they have a chance of starting up a PVP match.
