I have been with FFXIV for many years now and started pvping from the beginning of the wolves den. At times, it's unclear if they just really don't intend for the player base to enjoy this part of the game. I really think you killed it this time! Its one thing to take skills, stats, gear, and level away, then increase the exp gains so that we have to deal with constant bots in every single pvp match. Ok well, it's many things. But now you took choice away! Pvp ques are always changing in terms of time. Usually, around patch, the queue times are much longer and this is completing understandable due to the large amount of content everyone needs to clear. After patch settles in maybe 2 weeks or so, pvp queue times during peak times have always been 5 min queues. Right now we should be having 5-minute queues but due to the new system, no one is queuing. Peak times (after reset) there is still a 30-40 minute wait to get into pvp.
Take restrictions off, please!
