(also since that was a lot of negativity i will at least post one positive thing: how Astrologian plays in PvP is lovely and it does a good bit to mend the hole in my heart that was left from the Card Effects being gutted over the years)

Pretty sure Frontline already gives Series exp...idk man sounds like this game is torment for you.

Please refrain from using "me & many others." Unless theres actually "many others." Which i genuinly do not believe there are.
It's sucha annoying tactic used, to make it sound like it's a bigger issue than it is. Make them come here & voice their opinion aswell, that'll get a bigger effect than "me & many others."
No one takes that serious.

These are all optional items. Non of this is mandatory. Theres been plenty of event items I did not get because I didn't participate. Hell all the previous ranked season armor (tho back then pvp sucked bonkers & the only ones doing ranked were wintraders).
And you do have other pvp options. CC is very very casual friendly & very chill. No one expects you to do anything.

Also I don't think we have any number on these "addon & plugin users." I personally use non of these, gotten to gold so far. Not saying they don't exist, they probably do. In ESO i remember an addon that told you when a person attacked from stealth, so you could pre dodge it.
You could literally join a CC game & just goof around & you'd still get 700 series xp (900 for winning). How much more casual friendly can it get? I would personally put loosing xp on 450, but this is SQE & Yoshi, he cares alot about the casual community.

Frontline gives 1500 series exp for a win and 1000 for a loss, for the tradeoff of being 4 times as long on average, it's far from worth it running frontlines compared to CC.

Yet that's your alternative. So you pick one and do it like everyone else

I have chronic OCD, ADD and depression. I don't feel the same as OP.

You'll be fine OP!

Not having everything is just how life works, so it also extends to games.

And that's very FINE. Again, nothing bad about different availability... Thingies.

You'll survive :3

You gain Series Exp doing any PvP activity, including Frontlines.

"Hey I don't like X so please don't give rewards in X"

Probably one of the most self centered narcissist post in long time.

i wish i could simply not play Crystaline Conflict, but thats not an option. there are items locked to the season that will disappear from existence for an unknown amount of time once the 'season' ends, some of which require well over a hundred games to even get to. this is triggering my OCD. this is depressing to people who hated pvp and wanted simple things like some sunglasses or some dressing for the new card system.

As others have already stated, Series progress isn't limited to Crystalline Conflict. Keep in mind that Series Malmstones lasts until the next major patch, not until the current PvP season ends.

To reach rank 25, you'll need a total of 108,000 Series exp. Frontlines will give you 1000 exp for ending 3rd place. CC will give you 700 on a loss. Knowing this, you could either:
1. Limit yourself to a daily frontline roulette. Even if you were to get 3rd place on every single one, it'd take you 108 days (15.5 weeks, just under 4 months).
-or-
2. Limit yourself to 3 matches of CC every day, which takes roughly the same amount of time as a single frontline roulette. This will give you 2100 exp per day, if you lose every match. This way, it'd take you 52 days (7.5 weeks).

The Series rewards also won't disappear at the end. With the start of the 2nd Series, you'll be able to purchase the 1st Series rewards using Trophy Crystals. This effectively means that you'll have a total of 8 months to obtain these items. They have stated this in the most recent Live Letter.
