I do think they need to adjust the rating points somewhat though... I find it pretty ridiculous, that in a game where I have no control over how good my allies are (or rather, how utterly terrible they are, 7 deaths? Really?!), I get -25 rating for a loss and +25 for a win...

Dropping from ~900 back down to 500 because people can't follow basic instructions is a wonderful feeling... Focus X because they don't have the defense buff and I just Full Swing'd them! Only to have people focus the fucking tank? What the f*ck is this shit? I think I'll come back when the plebs have gotten bored of this... Can we put a PvP Rank lockout on Ranked or something? These people have obviously never PvPed in their life... Nothing excessive like R50, I'm sure something as low as R10 would sift out most of these utter morons, or at the very least force them to practice before they decide to queue at the same time as me and figure "They're on 4% HP, I better cast Regen!"...

Jesus Christ this is frustrating...

Full Swing is one of those rare abilities which I have actually considered macro'ing, because it is utterly infuriating when you apply it and it goes unused. Using Full Swing is basically like handing the Dps a free kill, and yet so many of them randomly decide to swap targets and chase butterflies ... /FACEPALM

Wasn't expecting much in the first place but I still somehow ended up disappointed.
It just feels like it's lacking something, a toned down slaughter/striking dummy.

But that's just me since I've been pretty much jaded by FFXIV PvP, so don't think there's much PvP left for me here sadly.

Would it be possible to change how the teams are represented in the Duty List? I've had a couple of games where I thought my team was losing when in fact it was an overwhelming victory.

Do what Metal Gear Online 3 did and make so that your team is always Blue and the opposing team is always Red to make it easier to differentiate how well the match is going.

Otherwise I've been loving it so far.

8v8 is so fun man,

I wish the commend button wouldn't dissapear behind the final score board. I actually commend my healers

The Feast thus far (in my limited match experience) has proven to have similar, if not the exact same issues as The Fold. Matches begin and end with the "chase down the healer" or "blitz the caster". Its not fun after a few games, win or lose. If PvP is going to be even a minor focus of FFXIV we need more objective based match types with shorter durations and instant win conditions so game churn happens and we do not end up with the 30-45m frontline queue times. This game type while a tiny step up from the Fold because of the "coin" mechanics is still in the dumps because of actual combat mechanics and the insistence of the 1T/1M/1R/1H forced makeup.

Stop queueing solo if you're getting THIS irritated by it
