PvP is Dead.. RIP

[ThirdChild_ZKI]

I can't say it enough: With Frontline Freelancer (literally being a wildcard now), GCs don't matter one bit. The people you're playing with matter. I did several matches yesterday and I think I was only on Maelstrom twice, and only lost once. Granted, if you're on a team full of bots, that's an entirely different issue, but that aside, put a good player in blue or yellow, hell make them wear green, and they're not going to somehow play worse.

PvP is not this games strong suite and I don't think the majority of people really care. I only run it to cap out on tombstones easily each week. Otherwise I wouldn't even bother. Win or lose it doesn't matter.

I won't mince words here: Everything you said is a huge detriment to PvP in this game, and a very wrongful way to look at it. This doesn't mean you're wrong to think that way, but it IS wrong to propogate this type of view of PvP, which is what largely led people away from it to begin with. If you don't care if you win or lose, it's perhaps better that you do something else. Because if you're on a team of people who want to win, that only drags them down. If all you're in it for is tomestones, roulettes and all other endgame activities are still viable means and offer even more than PvP does.

Simply put, if you feel PvP isn't good in this game, do other things. They offer everything you want, and in higher quantities with less effort anyways. But don't come in here spreading that kind of negativity. That in itself is a large source of the "toxicity" so many complain about, and it's quite unwelcome.

Blah blah blah! I'm rude!

EDIT: -Annoyed reply- Bit rude in your reply. Not worth the effort in me continuing arguing about this. Deleting my original post. Have a "wonderful" day!

In regards to this:

I won't mince words here: I don't care what you think I should or should not do or say. Don't like it? Tough nuggets. SE put tombstones on roulette for Feast for a reason and I don't really care if the "try hards" get dragged down by me focusing on doing what I want in matches. There is no penalty for winning or losing besides a little XP so zero ****'s are given. Petition the developers to change the game if it bothers you so much. Until then IDGAF.

It is a ban-able offense to throw a match, isn't it?

Not throwing a match. I'm focusing on killing people and not bothering with ice. Who said I was throwing a match? I just said I'll do what I want and that is to kill people. I'm not idling or sitting around. Do I really need to say it? When you assume something what happens? You make an ASS of you and ME.

I only run it to cap ... Win or lose it doesn't matter.

I can assure you nobody thinks "I'm" an ass.

@ElazulHP: You're kind of the reason people think PvP in this game is a massive joke, and ruining it for those of us who do want to enjoy it and make it better. Would you mind seeing yourself out? Everyone already thinks your an a** based on that totally mature and well thought out response.

There is a say i impose to myself daily:

"Your freedom ends where mine begins"

You are free to join only for the marks, of course, but you are only thinking about yourself and screwing up the rest of your team. In FFXIv, no matter if it is PVP or PVE, everything is team focused, team effort -or a grand part of the game-. Maybe in PVE a strong Ilevel can carry his team, but that does not happen in PVP. Either you play with your team to achieve a goal or you are giving the match to your adversaries, hindering your companions. In short, IT MATTERS.

We all know cheaters don't get punished or banned. "Our data shows people aren't cheating!" Except it's the same people at the top of the same touneys in Triple Triad, Lord of Verminion, and Feast datacenters all with like 80% win rates. No cheating at all, nope, none.
