I'm sorry, why are we mad that smallscale pvp after years of neglect finally gets serious love from the developers? Is this another thing of "I don't want it therefore nobody is supposed to have it" ideology I keep seeing by players who think "your content doesn't deserve dev time because of <x>" like as if we are fighting for scraps at the table?

Smallscale pvp has never been more accessible to the average player who simply wanted to try. It is not perfect by any means and the changes are hit or miss at times, but why are being mad at Crystalline Conflict being updated? Objectively speaking it is good that it gets what it gets, even if it badly needs QoL on certain jobs, maps, reward structures etc, but it is infinitely more than the nothing-burger that was the Feast era where they randomly do some adjustments and leave jobs into the dust for seasons.

Seriously, get over your narrow-minded viewpoints, every mode in this game deserves love, not just your favourite.
