Is PVP just a dead horse in this game

Just seems to me that one or 2 teams are always best while another team is so outmatched might as well not even try. The mounts that need wins is near impossible since most of the time you seem to be gotten into a team with no communication and mindlessly just try and kill a whole team alone. Even with CC added it's lost it's charm. FFXIV just isn't a pvp game that seemed to get quickly added on. I really wish for it to be gotten rid of and free up some data for other things

PvP is sadly an afterthought. As someone who played WoW ONLY for the PvP...I've barely touched it on here.

It's more of an afterthought to the players. Many only want the xp reward for whatever job they don't want to take through other content. If you seek out some groups of people that actually enjoy pvp and want to win, you'll have a better time.

PVP is not XIV's main focus, I think that is pretty obvious... But with that said, I think today PVP is much more interesting with the recent changes, even if it's still subpar for the everyday pvper.

Eh I enjoy it though time to time I get frustrated it keeps my attention more then PVE after you learn the dance I don't feel like there is much to bother with unless your chasing numbers but that can be said for PVP to if your shooting for top 100

PVP isn't balanced for Frontline despite the fact that Frontline is the only PVP mode that sticks around. Its a dumb decision but its how it is.

The popularity of the Crystalline Conflict seems to be growing nicely. Have you tried it?

PvP in every mmo is a pretty small percentage of the games population. Now consider that and look at the fact that the large majority of people that play ffxiv are extremely casual and only really care about the msq and other casual content in the game. No one comes to ffxiv for pvp, so an already small community becomes even more niche in a game that is mostly known to be a story focused game. Even frontlines back in the dead had completely dead queues until they added frontlines to the roulette and gave exp rewards.

The game is not balanced around PvP, if the fact it switches you to entirely different hotbars and equalizes stats dependent on class didn't make that obvious...

... but I did enjoy Crystalline Conflict for a while to get the Archfiend Armor. Might do some more next season. The rewards are all cosmetic but it's a nice break from dungeon crawling, and some of the gear sets are cool; the Tropaios weapons are hit or miss though.

Paladin cheese kills the fun at Onsal basically.
