Wrong.

What is characteristic of FFXIV playerbase is that we aren't competitive at all. Yes there are raiders playing for world first, there are crafters that are 24/7 undercutting and someone might think their PvP rank is the subject of endless envy... But reality is that most of us, here playing XIV, don't give a single damn about "Status". What we in general want, is just access and be able to get what we want at our own pace.

Thats why: If the new PvP mode is competitive, will fail exactly like the Feast. We don't want competition on PvP, we just want to PvP. Weird i know. But is in fact the reason why the only sucessful PvP mode in this game is the Frontlines - Is non-competitive at it's core.

We need a higher number of participants, continuous (24/7) instanced battleground PvP, something like World vs World in GW2.
