Okay, It's Two-Way Communication Time

I'm halfway tempted to write up another post and have it professionally translated, because I feel like we're not heard at all. Or we're swept under the rug.

It's a real kick in the teeth to be told that the reports about win trading and botting are 'exaggerated'. Anyone who is seriously engaged in PvP and objective about it can come to see that both are dire issues that have been left largely unaddressed.

Then again, it's likely that both are bigger issues over on the EU and NA servers rather than on the Japanese servers due to cultural differences and gaming habits. I'm not saying it's impossible there's issues there, too, but if they're only really concerning themselves with the Japanese servers then it explains why PvP has been handled so awkwardly in some ways.

As for Rival Wings, I think it'll be pretty fun - I don't mind that it isn't entirely based around direct PvP combat since there's a lot of balance issues that are unlikely to ever be ironed out properly. Healers, for instance, are incredibly strong to the point where even a great player can struggle to take them down.
