SE, can we please have some open dialogue on the PVP queue issue?

[JubjubTubs]

The reason they won't remove GC restrictions, longer ques. Longer que times to them means it takes longers for players to get achievements and r50. More time players stay subbed.

What SE doesn't get... cause I don't believe they truly understand a PvP mindset at all (and should hire someone that does to run that dev team...)... is they need to keep feeding us. I can get over PvP gear being pointless... I can sorta get over how vanilla/'fair' they try and make it when pitting vets against scrubs... these que times I can't get over and makes me stop pvp'ing. Makes a lot of PvP vets stop. We aren't getting our fix. And you know what, SE? When a PvP'er doesn't get their fix... we go somewhere else to get our PvP fix. We go to other games. And you know what happens then? Other MMOs/games take our money, and you stop getting it.

Wake up, SE. Faster ques = more money for you.

Basically. PVP is what keeps people subbed when they get tired of the PVE. But it's not going to keep people subbed if they are sitting 30+ minutes between matches. I just don't understand why their first and foremost focus isn't to get the queues moving at an acceptable pace.

PVP queues need to flow like a river, unrestricted.

SE doesn't get it. XI, ARR, interviews... is clear how clueless they are at handling PvP.

I don't even think they know that when people get hooked to PvP... these people level new jobs solely for PvP, jobs they wouldn't have touched otherwise. Creating new PvE time sinks for that player and their new job... all cause they got hooked to PvP.

Except... people can't get hooked to ARR PvP cause the ques are terrible and there is zero open world PvP. They have no idea how much money they have lost and continue to lose cause of their poor PvP development decisions.

Do they even have a PvP dev team? The updates for content are so far and in between that I honestly wonder if they actually have a dev team dedicated to PvP. To my knowledge, there's also never been any updates, hotfixes, or adjustments/improvements that actually addressed some of the more pressing issues that PvP'ers talk about, even the ones we mostly agree on.

Oh I'm sure they don't. Which is why they should simply hire one person that is only there to focus on PvP development. It really only takes one person with a clue to fix a lot of the current problems. SE has enough programmers/coding-monkeys that this person is purely developmental. And given how ARR has saved SE from going bankrupt, is making VII remake possible, and they could actually make MORE money with a good PvP core... they are stupid for not taking this route. No other word for it... flat out stupid. Or pride... maybe someone in charge now has too much pride to admit they don't know what they doing in this area of the game...
