Just get rid of ranked

[Astralrisk]

Okay let me ask you this question and answer honestly;
which one respects your time more?

1. ff14 ranked pvp
2. Ultimate raids

I can guarantee you that The raids respect your time more then the ranked does since you ACTUALLY PROGRESS

Considering both DSR and TOP exist, i'd say neither ranked or ultimate raids respect your time.

Okay ill take that as Raids respect your time more since you don't wanna tell me which one sucks less.

A less joking answer, I think both have a subjectively different/equal amount of time disrespect if that makes any sense. Raids this expansion have felt incredibly disrespectful to the time investment, especially when you get horribly designed later phases that also just have bugs at launch when the game has traditionally not had them. Meanwhile PvP has times where you can get hardstuck in a certain rank for a while and not having any clear way for you to get out of that rut. Granted though, that's more of a problem with PvP in games overall rather than XIV's PvP specifically. If I had to choose, i'd rather do ranked with complete randoms with some attempt to least win a fight with my own skill than just depend on several other people to do Death of the Heaven's correctly and not die to the team jump rope mechanic.

95% of Towa-Musa's posts, I just picture a child throwing a tantrum in a toy store and destroying everything.

"IF I CAN'T HAVE THESE TOYS, NO ONE CAN"

It makes a lot of sense this way.

Because he can't get the toys. Either by lack of skill or just laziness.

What is funny to me is if they spent 5% of the time they do complaining on the PVP forums and instead, played PVP and focused on improving their skill, they'd probably be a really good player and would have gotten all the rewards a long time ago.

Just explain to me how the ranked people getting bonus rewards affects your gameplay experience if you don't play it.

"They can't have something I don't have" would be the only reason.

You are a special type of masochist

I prefer to have control who i que with, at least in ultimates you can have that.

You are really disproving my point, child.

[Towa-Musa]

Go back to your gremlin hole where you belong.

I wish I could be a special type of masochist tbh so glad I can appear to you that way. Also I do agree it would be nice to do ranked with friends, and honestly just any form of pre-made groups in CC would be good. Imagine actually having the ability to play with your friends in a multiplayer game =).
