Im Done

[Levy9]

If you sub to any MMO for the PvP (which I do, by the way) it never ends well. I unsubbed for the PvP but came back for LP with the contingency plan of finding something else to do if it doesn't work out. PvP in MMORPGs though is generally a privileged, not a right.

That isn't always the case. I played Blade & Soul for some time and it has a strong PvP presence despite having a fully voice acted ongoing storyline and competent PvE endgame content like the Tower of Infinity and instanced dungeons. Both the PvP and PvE content was active, whereas this game's PvP is mostly dead between content updates for PvP. WoW still has an active PvP base and it had an extremely active base of PvP players back in it's heyday, despite it's stronger focus on PvE content.

Edit (additional comments)

Damn, there goes one of the greats. Add another to the already-large pile of players that quit over the shitty 4.0 pvp rehaul.

3.0 PvP is probably the most overrated thing on these forums. I've participated in pvp off an on since 2.0 and 3.0 pvp was just an extension of the former 2.0 system with some slight adjustments here and there. It was another lazy insertion of the pve game balance into a pvp context. I happen to prefer BLM as my main DPS for pvp (it was my only DPS class at 60 during HW). Turns out that in 2.0 & 3.0, BLM was a sleep bot and not an actual DPS class. Nah, you weren't about to bust out a slow casting turret mage rotation designed to battle scripted pve bosses in the middle of a mobile pvp match. Swiftcast -> Sleep, maybe nightwing after purify, (another AOE sleep for pvp). Run around and spam scathe and phantom dart, put the enemy healer to sleep so your team can burst. Double digit crowd control timers and pve rotations that don't make any sense in a pvp format.
