First-time PvPer, I have some thoughts...

[Zer0]

I literally cannot comprehend how anyone can enjoy this steaming pile of mess that is PvP. It's absolutely horrid in every single way. I've gotten no enjoyment or fun or anything. It's made me want to consider killing myself to just get the first match I've done over with. It's absolutely terrible.

Why can't I use the skills I'm already well aware of how to use? Why do I have to use a completely foreign unfamiliar skillset that basically feels like I'm just rolling my face across the keyboard.

First of all, I haven't played a single job yet in PVP that has , as you put it, a "completely foreign unfamiliar skillset". Each one had existing skills and new skills.
Secondly, as the skills are so limited in number, it only took a few minutes on a training dummy to get the basics down.

Finally, aren't you same person who just posted in another thread stating that you hate PVP , would get a y match over with as soon as you possibly could as you only are in it for the glam anyway?
