PF basically overnight died, pfs took 6 hours to fill, and to my knowledge there has not been a single recorded instance of a pf clear ever since.

Those who did not manage to get to P6 by then were stranded and could no longer prog, as the few p5 and prog parties took much longer to fill.

On top of that, to my knowledge there are now two global pf blacklists going on, and if you ever done any TOP pfing on aether, you have a 99% chance of being on one of the two lists.

The 40 total people that were regular pfers for TOP started avoiding each other, further increasing the time it takes to fill PFs

The situation is so insane today, primetime saturday afternoon, there are a total of 6 TOP pfs, 2 of them are advertisements, and you can no longer do TOP on any NA datacenter without a static.

As someone who only pugs and knowing it wasn't this bad during DSR, I'm heavily concerned with the state of PF.

I doubt anything can be done about it, but just wanted to raise some awareness.
That's a lot of drama for a videogame. Back in my day, people gamed for fun.
