New matchmaking system is a failure

I cant really see upsyncing happening not only would having all job abilities thrust upon you at once be overwhelming but I think it'd detract from the experience of slowly unlocking them.

The problem with level 30 wolves den was primarily, I think, that wolves den is a more hardcore mode that isnt going to have appeal to a broader casual playerbase looking for an alternative means to level up. So yeah I'd rule out fold/feast, but nobody in their right mind takes frontlines too seriously. I leveled characted almost solely in battlegrounds back when I played wow so I can definitely see a low level synced mode offering the equivalent xp of low level roulette working. There'd need to be balance adjustments for sure though (adlo was obscenely overpowered in 30 WD iirc). It might be fun to screw around pvping on "non-jobs" xD

As far as splitting the playerbase, I dont know. Ultimately, though, we really have to get more players attracted to pvp. Something like GC restriction removal is just putting a bandaid on cancer. Even if it does make queues pop more frequently, pvp'ers will still be an extreme minority seen as deserving one or two updates per expansion. I'd much prefer that whatever dev resources get spent on us go towards finding ways to get more people to play (and in turn justifying greater attention towards pvp)
