I started playing pvp back in june 2023 (both Frontlines and rival wings concurrently). As an achievement hunter, i was beyond thrilled when i finally got my wings of fire achievement done for winning 1000 RW matches! That said, the trouble with RW is that people only really care to play it during mogtomes because it is an efficient way to get tomes. Thus, you would have your good players who know how to play and really try. And you have your suck players who are only there for the rewards and call you a "sweat" or a "try hard" if you give even the slightest indication that you care about the outcome. Many of them freely admit they don't even know what the objective of the game mode is, what the train rewards are, what the mechs do, or how soaring works and they have zero intention of learning.

I general, you knew which team was going to win before the matches even start. You know which good players are playing, and how many of them are on your team... Ultimately, playing out the match feels pointless because it is kind of a forgone conclusion. Frontlines is kind of like this too, but nit nearly as pronounced as RW was.

If we did get a RW roulette, i would like to think we would get new good people that could help balance things out and make matches more interesting. But since i don't see that happening, i will just be glad i got my cheevos done and ride off into the sunset.
