It's the most awful time of the patch again

[Towa-Musa]

Well, some people have gotten the idea that pvp isn't supposed to be taken seriously since it's just a side content. So...

i blame the JP community for this but eh its fine, i kinda like CC casual.

There's no Feast anymore. All there are is series rewards. If you don't want the rewards, you don't play PvP. PvP has never been good in XIV, and will probably never be nuanced and balanced, not that it was in any other game I've ever played.

I legit do not understand the complaints that the rewards are terrible and not worth getting, when there's literally no reason to play PvP now or then if the always-mediocre don't motivate you. Were people really so gung-ho about Feast to get a title they never use and a mount that might roulette in? XIV just doesn't have a culture of worship around PvP, and it doesn't make much sense to complain about the 'patch time rush' when it's not going to get better later.

Are you talking about CC? Because Sam's lb is really easy to play around.
Don't worry about others. Focus on yourself and you'll end up increasing your chances of winning from improvement.
If you care that much about losing and you find yourself on a streak, then take a break and come back at another time.
