PvP is DEAD

[Philosoraptor 20]

After queuing for about 3 hrs in pvp, I gave up. Fix this now SE

Pvp was hardly ever considered alive in this game. It's nothing more then an after thought thrown in to appease some people who wanted it. The game is completely geared for pvp, almost nobody playing it cares about it either as it nets you nothing. There's nothing square can do when the players don't even enjoy the system. It's basically nothing more than a mini game.

People only played PvP to powerlevel, now that that's gone, everybody is gone.

Everybodys doing ranked pvp or rival wings right now, 8v8 is isnt very populated at the moment

PvP in this game is boring and lacks any meaningful rewards to keep people playing long term. It's a good thing everything else is extremely good or I might have a problem staying subbed lol...

It's kinda sad...GW2 has a great PvP, but FF14 can't? I need to do pvp because I think it's part of my Grand Company's (Adder's Nest) quest. Also, there are achievements to unlock. Maybe if SE put in some worthwhile rewards it could be popular again. It can't be too hard to do

IIRC...

There are already rewards for PvP.

And while there are indeed achievements, I don't believe any other non-PvP content is locked behind having to do PvP.
There is the couple quests for PvP, but those are basically just to unlock PvP and aren't prerequisites for anything else.

He... he wants FFXIV to have an e-sport for its PVP?

I personally have plenty of fun in pvp. I wish the balance wasn't centered some what works in the feast.

Frontline Balance is horrible

Rival Wings is horribly balanced and skewed in Red's favor

Feast is pretty dead so I can't really even say.
