SIGN if you Hate PVP GC Restriction & Want Change

[Buff_Archer]

I've read the 12 pages worth of posts and...it is. Only a few have spoken in defense of the GC restriction, where as the rest speak out against it.

I even see some here that I vaguely recall having defended the GC restriction in earlier threads. People are just getting tired of this useless restriction.

If you could even call it a 'defense' because people's reasoning for keeping the GC restriction is so weak. My favorite one is the whole 'I'm not PVP'ing alongside people in ____ faction or ____ faction!' as if any of those people couldn't do a GC swap and be the same as them tomorrow... and that somehow would make them more or less of a worthy teammate?

Being allied with people who chose the same GC at level 20 is not more important than my real world time... which amounts to an hour a half, with 10-15 min playing and 45 min waiting on it to start.

I haven't signed my name here so I'll throw myself on here too. I've mentioned my suggestions in another thread but I'll post them here for ease of access:

- We'd like to play with our friends (FC or friends list), and
- Swapping GCs is a long-term loss for short term satisfaction, and
- A lot of work was invested in the PvP but the rewards feel underwhelming
- We'd like 1vs1 PvP in open world just to encourage more interested participants

Signed.

But please, add something as a reward to encourage people to explore the content.
Even if you like the pvp the waiting time is a pain.

1 vs 1 is not something that would be even close to be balance so seriously no need to invest any time in that

I agree, though I do think there should be a request duel option for people wanting to do that for fun. There should also be an option for each player to disable duel requests if they don't want random people duel requesting them.

Signed. GC restrictions are awful and completely unnecessary.

[Talia_Hailwind]

Working our way to 200 upvotes! I hope SE doesn't purposefully refuse to respond to this thread like the other 100+ ones.

I've defended the GC restriction before, but not very adamantly. I did so under the pretense of story and thinking outside the box. It's fine that they want to follow the story and it's fine that they want to experiment with an immersive method involving it... at the time. The story, however, does not have any sort of pre-existing reason to have GCs rival each other after 3.0 MSQ. It also allows for them to do away with the GC queue requirement and allow for better queue times in testing out the removal of a rather unwanted limitation by the player base. This automatically eliminates my need to defend the upcoming PvP setup. Now, I suspect that they might be planning on adding it to the queue, of which it would make the GC requirements seem needed in order to do a PvP roulette. That isn't a very good reason to defend its existence, IMO, as it can always be changed (lore-wise) to be training exercise related with Teams 1-3. The only changes needed in that case are text/font/flag alterations.
