I believe we will see Balthier in Eorzea one day!
I used to love Seal Rock. For one content patch in the 3.0 cycle, spamming Seal Rock was practically all I did X). I can't stomach shatter, tried it a few times and it seemed like a PvE mode wherein the opponent is a slab of ice that doesn't fight back. The few times I played, we barely had any contact with the other teams. I suspect that's why some people like Shatter though. Now I only queue for the Feast which is easily my favorite PvP mode, over Seal Rock even. The Feast is pretty much the highest tier endgame for PvP, albeit I haven't started doing ranked yet. Given that the queue times for The Feast are so fast, I wonder why people don't mention it more often.
I don't remember what patch it was but i loved that 24 man Seize era, after midnight till early morning pretty much all games were super awesome and fun. It was fun to go against small premades(2-4 person out of 8)as it meant some sweet and tight battles for tomeliths, also it wasn't clusterfuck like 72mans usually are. Would love to see 48man added back and 72man removed instead, 48 and 24 are perfect size imo and i would like to see more of those.
After some of the video evidence I've seen of the rampant botting, and my own personal experience as a veteran PvPer having random new people give bad advice, then shoot down corrections/good advice I offer nicely to try to help the team, I'm perfectly willing to just abandon Shatter to the terrible state it currently is. I've got the mount, I've got the title. And while I love the map, I hate the game rule and the bad crowd it's attracted now. SE's reporting systems are too cumbersome, and screenshots/video aren't valid evidence (BTW SE, as a video editor, the amount of time/effort it would take to edit or alter a clip or screenshot just to try to report someone takes only slightly longer than your reporting system, but is sadly simpler.), and for all the reports coming in, nothing but the bare minimum seems to be done.
I'm totally up for trying to coordinate more Secure/Seize events, whether just on weekends, or whenever. Just, ANYTHING but Shatter now.

I know you mean well, but please don't encourage passive strategy in Secure or Seize. It's FAR less effective.
Well, there you go. I wasn't completely sure what the rules for Secure really were.
I wasn't trying to mislead anyone but the macro is already corrected.
I know it's a nightmare, but not for me today got 7 Adder victories in a row hahahaha
Exp wise, yes. However, shatter gives you credit for what? Five different mount achievements at once? Two garo horses, fc horse, and both orbs. Plus the kill and victory achievements on top of being able to win without needing to attack other players.
In my opinion, shatter offers the most "bang for your buck." I started pvp during the garo event myself and shatter gave me all the above on top of getting light for my anima weapon.
