How is PVP in this game?

[Nayout]

Normal, it's not an aberration like FFXI (God still gives me PTSD the pvp of that game) but it's not even remotely good like Wow or GW2.

The main problems already come from the servers and the game code to the point that they tried to fix it by increasing the distance of the male attacks but of course it is still a problem especially when you use a potion and the healing of this comes later, this happens a lot especially in skills like Holmang or CC in general where you have to "predict" what the other is going to do because it is impossible to react as in other games because of skills it has a delay in general that in PVE is not a problem but in PVP affects a lot.

I wouldn't suggest listening to the main opinion from people in the category on the forums, because whereas they arrive at a similar conclusion, they lack the nuance.

Cheating in PVP is as follows;

Frontlines and rival wings cheating:

In frontlines and rival wings, you may have afk bots (like on SB release, when it had huge xp gains) and still kind of does, from farmers. It's annoying and happens a little bit but nothing game ruining.

The actual hacking of flying mechs in rival wings is something that has happened a few times, but happened a fair bit recently and has been dealt with.

Across all PVP modes there have been speed hackers and SE have been inconsistent to ban them. Sometimes getting them, sometimes never.

Man, the situation is not even remotely similar to what it was years ago, do I have to remember things like this in Stormblood?

Not if it ended up banning people but during all that expansion the Frontlines were shit because they began to give experience by playing. In Shadowbringers I have hardly seen these situations and during my 100 victories in the last Frontline I count on the fingers of my hands similar situations and that I played in both Primal and Crystal.
