How to fix PvP in FFXIV in 3 easy little steps...

[Gooner_iBluAirJGR]

Best would be when they would remove tomes completely out of frontlines, so the whole "I dont care about the result of this match" pve player train would have an end.

Don't be silly—the que's will get longer. On top of that, its nice being able to gear pvp glamour and pve at the same time through tomes.

How to fix PvP in FFXIV in three little easy little steps...

1. Allow anyone from any grand company per side.
   
   
2. Remove PVP experience AND ranks, they are silly and stupid. Add actual experience. The same amount for doing a level 51-59 dungeon.
   
   
3. Add a large chunk of experience and or 40 law/ esotics a day for doing (not winning) PvP Frontline que.

1. I'm opposed to this, but whatever.

2. No.

3. It's already there.

Thanks for posting!

care to put your reasoning forward for opposing the largest hindrance to FL queue times?

care to put your reasoning forward for opposing the largest hindrance to FL queue times?

most reasons people give boil down to roleplaying and or rooting for the home team/thinking your GC uses "Special tactics" that the others dont use (news flash they do)/not wanting to play with the bads from other GCs. i dont expect any answer he gives to differ from the norm having lurked the pvp section for awhile now.

I have yet to here a convincing reason why keeping GC restrictions is a net boon compared to increased que times and actually being able to play the mode. Most anyone experiencing good que times right now is because A.) people rushing to play the new mode and B.) your GC is understaffed deflating your numbers to something definitely outside the norm

They should remove the GCs and let people check 2 different teams to que for 1. being people that actually want to pvp and team 2. those that are there just for the glamour and cares nothing about winning.

Even WOW is moving to a mercenary mode that allows people of a faction to fight with the opposite side to help out que/population imbalances.

[Geologo]

I "agree" with only your "Allow anyone from any grand company per side." but they seems that want mantain the GC requirement, so I would like to suggest something like:
If you had enlisted in all the GC (and maybe achieved the horse with all of them), you can take part to FLs as mercenary with lower reward or even whitout reward, JUST FOR FUN.
Even if it will be accessible to a small part of players it will improve a lot queue time :/

[Aiden_Volkov]

I agree with Sirius-Khan really we wanna kill and be killed, and win, kill people not bots and get the exclusive PVP gear for glamour and we wanna do it faster. For all who wanna play hours and hours like me because ists funny beat peple more than bots, delete GC restriction, put only 2 teams, or whatever so we can play and play and play again pvp very faster and be happy.

1. I would prefer this but looks like they wont ever fix it.

2. New pvp is set to level 60, of course you can just say that SE could remove the restriction to certain pvp maps, FL being around level 30-50 and Seize 51-60. However if that DID happen, a lot pvpers would be mad because their team would consist of underleveled/geared players.

They should add in more rewards for ranks/wins.

3. Roulette.

WoL vs WoD

allow players to chose a side in the MSQ and have World of Warcraft inspired pvp with Frontline-ish functions

it's lore friendly, allows for advanced story telling (can still be on rails), and gives players (at least) the feeling of being in control of their character's destiny
