I actually used the 3 Day Gametimepresent from WoW but please hear me out first.

I LOVE the current Expansion. The content, the Landscapes, the Story and ESPECIALLY the music! (Seriously Soken you are a genius).

I cleared the Extreme primals, i cleared the Raid, i have 3 Jobs on 446 ilvl and one on 444.

But yet.. im Still starving... I miss PvP.. i miss it So freakin much!

I have always been a pvp player. In every MMO i played i had a somewhat high pvp Rank. (WoW Rank 10 in BG's, later 2.2k Rating in Arena and 2k rating in RBG's, Great General in Aion, Top 100 Feast here in FFXIV in the first Seasons)

Technicaly PvP exists here in this Game.. you might think... but damn.. its just an empty shell of what pvp should be. I Agree that the 3.X PvP was not the best you could hope for.... BUT it was so much better than what we have now. Skillrequirement was a thing, you were able to see if a player was good or bad. Now we are left with 8 Buttons of wich 3 have longish Cooldowns. With Shadowbringers it became even more restrictive.... Bolt taken away from every job except Melees for instance.

First thing i did when i got those 3 Days free gametime was jumping into pvp. Of course WoWs pvp is not the best either, nothing will beat the MASSIVE PvP fortressraids in Aion before it got p2w, but i had so much Fun with my Feral and Retpaladin.

Please Square Enix. You GOT dedicated PvP players. LOTS of them, they are just starving here in this lifeless shell of a PvP mode. We would absolutely appreciate if you rethink the way you designed PvP for SB and ShB.

Have a good Day,

Araxes.

I actually enjoyed the old feast a lot. I hope we have more "kill people not objectives" PvP modes soon. Frontlines and that one mode with the lanes and robots just doesn't do it to me, and I am not invested enough to play ranked matches.

I feel you Friend. One problem is that the big Frontline Maps are just not designed for such restricted Skillsets. Rival wings is different, there it works out quite good. I stoped playing ranked PvP with Stormblood simply because i literaly died of boredom. No crits, no surprise moments, no thrill. It feels more like a Moba doing its last breath.

Because this game is a pure Co-Op title with a PvP element sticked on it.
Just like the folks wanted a PvP element in Warframe, and got something dumb like Lunaro.

Just doesn't work. But this works in WoW because they have two different factions going on and some actual incentive to go to fighting from a lore perspective.
