    Do we Hope.

    We’re aware of comments saying that you’d rather we not focus on the lore aspect of PvP matching, but by removing the Grand Company restrictions it may cause fixed matches to be made, and we’re worried about this. This is why it is set the way it is now. With that said, we are considering removing the Grand Company restrictions.


    This means all Adders will have to dye the gear they wear to a winning colour, ie not yellow.

    I don't know what they mean by "fixed" Matches will be made. I think it will make it more fun with "mixing" the teams up. Usually with the Grand Company separation though you are guaranteed to get "good" players on each team because dedicated players are in each GC and it could end up being all the "great" PvP ers on the same team and all the noobs on the others. I really wish they could match and make balanced teams by using your win totals to help balance things out...they could do this right???

Then in the future people won't ask which Grand Company but which server. People are right when they say pvp community is small. But given the right tools I hope that a growing community can be built.

    With the Fixed I am guessing a type of win trading. But really people would need to get 24 and hope that they don't get qued together into a dead lobby. Since we can't que alliances (yet). But there is no reward for being top of the board and I never see anything except the odd grats. So win trading would only help the people who complain they can't get enough wins for mount or ranks take too long.

    I'm really happy and excited about it!

    I don't know how would them fix it, and reading what they wrote it seems not a very lazy solution that just remove the GC requirement.
    Even because there are a lot of GC achievement bound to it.
    But FINALLY they are doin something to fix the pvp biggest problem.

    If a few fixed matches means my queue drops to less than 30m then I say drop GC requirements.

    As Stormrider said, win-trading. And it has already been a thing. Someone from my FC who wants the ADS mount on a few occasions tried to shout for 24 people on our server to queue up for FL to intentionally tie using some kind of voice chat to coordinate everything. When they could get the bodies I've been told it was mostly successful until the devs patched something about how a 3rd GC can't be part of the tie... I dunno.

    I imagine they'd just do queue German Language or something in Slaughter (whatever works for WD win-trades) and they'd queue with each other instantly.

    I guess the devs are concerned that it'll be "easier" to win trade for the Frontline achievement rewards if there's no GC restrictions. I see where they're coming from, but... It's not like its impossible now, unfortunately.

    The devs need to look at the win trade problem as a whole then. You mention the mount that people want so the question is why lock it behind an achievement rather than a out right purchase with Wolf Seals? When i100 items came out, people did win trade to level up to PvP requirement to wear the gear. The problem isn't cheating, it's why people feel the need to cheat.

    Fixed matches are premades (players join a game as a party or two parties and then queue at the same time so they get matched together and form like Voltron on the battleground). I don't see how this would be no bigger a problem than what it already is, because players are already doing this and have been since day 1. There is nothing anyone can do to stop them so long as players are allowed to join as a party and no game's developers would be so adamant about it to keep players from queing with their friends over premades. That would kill the game for everyone. It's just something players have to suck it up and deal with. I agree that the GC limitations should be removed.

    If that is the japanese term for premade, that is a silly reason. The GC with the best que has been able to not only que a full party, but 3 full parties on the weekends. So I am not even sure why this would be a reason. But the whole PvP seems to be run poorly and disconnected from any reality.
