A bit of a rant coming so be forewarned.

I started playing FFXIV shortly after ramuh ex was released. I love the game. Spent the majority of my time at end game pushing my relic weapon forward because I was motivated by the prize at the end of each junction. Never touched pvp because quite frankly I hated the realm reborn pvp gear which in my opinion would be my source of motivation to pvp at all. Now with heavensward and the sealed rock Im in love with the new sets and while chaotic have found pvp to be entertaining. Here is where the problem comes in. While I understand the pvp rank system as well as having a set restriction on the gear. What baffles me is that I have to grind out the same amount of pvp rank exp to cover the entirety of realm reborn's pvp ranks before I can even scratch the heavensward pvp exp grind so that I can even glamour gear that I would have long since had already bought. Its ridiculous
