    I said it before, but people REALLY overfocus mid.

    Had a match yesterday where I and a few others on foot nearly took down the south tower, then I personally tore through a good 4 or 5 Chasers and 3 Oppressors myself (and several enemies on foot, I wasn't counting them), literally halting any attempts at a south push. . . all the while they complained and struggled to never actually take back mid.

    Sure some might say "if you can do all that, why didn't you help mid?" Had I done that, those south push attempts would've been successful. And while it's tougher, a counteroffensive strategy is to basically hunt enemy mechs and waste their CE. If for some reason you can't retake mid, aggressively make them waste that resource. Keep em busy and get a push or your own down the other lane or sneak something through.

    Mid IS important. But capturing and holding it is STILL no guarantee of victory. If they push and you don't push back, the status of mid means nothing.

    People can't focus one target most of the time.
    So they "fight" there for 15 minutes or so.

    Speaking of Rival Wings, there's an instance when i wanted to call PVP in FF XIV "a garbage".

    Right now this seems like a good tactic: instead of fighting in mid, you just spam and capture the Generator,i.e. 10 people will not fight you, but will spam "Interact", while healers heal them.

    This is possible due to how dumb PVP is now and we don't have our short CD - AoE abilites, like in HW.

    I can see that not a lot of effort been put in this mode, at least gives one spammable AoE ability to prevent facepalm instances like this one.

    One Mage/Warlock/almost anyone in World of Warcraft can completely prevent stupid situations like this. (aka 20 people can't jump and check a point like zerg, you need to deal with people around first)
