i understand full well there were good intentions to enlist more players to pvp by opening it at level 30 and even giving exp as an incentive to play it but this is getting pretty sad and ridiculous that, that's the only reason people want to pvp..
before 4.0 pvp was a sport that we earned as endgame content something we could enjoy with friendly competition and some nice rewards for our labours.. but now its a "i dont care if i win anymore as long as i get my tomes and exp" sort of attitude which has ruined literally most of the pvp communities' overall fun and experience of pvp.
and since the level 30 people have been queing up they probably don't even know how to PvP in ffxiv i've been in countless matches where myself or others have tried to calmly explain things and teach these newer players how to PvP only for it to fall on deaf ears.. leading to more frustration and making us wanna quit playing PvP all together.
this post isn't to discourage new players from trying tho but what its for is to explain the problem and hopefully maybe come to a consensus on what needs to be done.
so this is my suggestion on how to fix PvP:
1. put the required level back to 50 so that way new players will have time to learn their job and be able to understand it better. level 30 is still too fresh and easy paced for newer players PvP is chaos and requires skill from the player to adapt to high end content with fast paced combat.
2. if we are going to have exp involved as a reward/compensation make a new mode for it pls SE call it "PvP Levelling" or something to that effect so that way for those who just want exp and tomes can do so in that mode and the veterans can enjoy healthy and enjoyable competition in normal pvp.
3.establish an auto-dismissal for all players inside a match that kicks them if they idle for more than 3mins
i have hopes that the development team is reading our posts and discussing ideas such my own listed above^ and hope they sincerely consider our opinions on the discussion to provide a better PvP experience for us all.
