We need a smaller objective-based PVP game, not more large-scale Frontlines

Damn post erased. Wolves den uses your rank to even teams if the system can't even out team rank score or que and no one matches it will refuse to let you pla. That simple. They have yet to implement any system that lets people play that dont play by the rules of there DF frontlines or wolves den.

We need duels and ranked 1x1 arena!
FF XIV will be №1 mmorpg with these.

Duels okay, 1v1 not necessary.

I'd like CTF, two teams only, no GC related garbonzo, please.

+ give me Capture the Flag some armorsmith+mch guild colab crafted rocket boots and i'll be happy
+ add some kind of mercenary system that allows players to sign up as members of opposing factions if the queues are too long

This seems to be the most prevalent thoughts on how to fix PVP.

#1) Fix the queues. When people want to PVP, accessibility is what matters most. The goal should be sub-five minute queues for all players. Allowing people to queue to fill in for any faction seems to be the easiest band-aid.

#2) Smaller PVP maps and teams. Right now, we have one mode: zerg. We need an objective-based map (like CTF) where one's individual performance can make a difference. If we keep the GC restrictions, perhaps filling people into an 8 v 8 match to keep the queues churning at a good pace will counteract the fault of being at the mercy of the least-queueing GC. It is of the utmost importance that a mode like this is unrestricted and fills 8 people in regardless of class. Similar to Frontlines, people can change class at their base, if they so desire.

Completely agreed. It's hard to enjoy myself in PVP when 2/3rds of the fights I engage in are steamroller fights where the people at the front get dogpiled.

1v1 dueling has been asked for countless times but SE won't acknowledge it. I'm not sure why, but that's how it is.

I suppose there are some things that have to be put in place, like it stops when someone hits 1HP so they don't "die". It's probably more complex than just adding something to the right click menu.

It's very optimistic to think that a dev has even put in that kind of thought towards dueling mechanics and it would be a huge step in the right direction if they have. But right now, at least from what I've seen, I don't think there has been a single reply from a community rep or a dev to any of the dueling request threads that are on the forums.

Nearly all of the systems they'd need are already in place, including this.

This is one of those rare moments where the act really is as simple as it seems.

Square just seems to refuse to even give the idea the time of day. At the very least, I'd like to hear something from the developers or someone in contact with them about duels, even if it's just a "no" or "not yet, but it's on the table".
