Still remember "Charlie the Wonder Dog" on The Late Show. "Foolhardy cousin George is stuck in the rip down at Dead Man's Weir...."

better but still seems to rotate between the 6 ish teams i already skipped, and dont want to see again.

Nothing new about that, been that way forever, is different issue.

Just get the thousands of players who stopped playing PvP as much, or at all, back and problem solved.

On 336 when you click skip it doesn’t take you back to the node select screen. It just loads a new target immediately on the same node, I believe.

So it saves you clicking back in. One click saved. Also not waiting for backgrounds to load etc.

Tbh every decent suggestion probably gets put on a list and they assign some estimate of time needed and priority for possibly increasing engagement or spending.

PvP is turning into a ghost town so you can see how they’d try to improve it.

My casual daily play alliance which routinely has a few people who don’t play anything that day keeps placing in T100 for PvP.

I wish it were that "easy" .... The ubiquity of the itty-bitty q-go'rounds was just as pervasive in 2015. It's due to the architecture of the game mode. The entire population of the earth could be mad MPQ PvPers, and they all be locked into little circular firing squads if they played up into shielding territory!

No, lots of players don't play PvP at all now, and lots more just do a few fights then quit.

It's completely understandable though, because that's the system the devs created (to be fair, it's also the system a large number of players want).

PvE rewards are good, and they get much better the more you play. PvP rewards are terrible in comparison. When the balance was flipped and PvP rewards were significantly better, everyone played PvP and tons of players competed for placement, even though they mostly hated it and complained about it. PvP placement was the only way to get the best stuff back then.

Fix the incentives and you fix the problem.

Seems I should use shorter words.

The problem of repetitive targets is not caused by lack of players playing pvp extensively. That issue is built into the system, and has always been with us, was just as common when PvP was crowded and red hot.

The reduction in active PvP players has other effects. Fewer brackets. Probably less excitement on LINE, just as reddit, this forum, an d discord have all become ghost towns.

Still used words exceeding 2 syllables. Dang.

I see, I had to go back and read the entire conversation. You're absolutely right, getting more players into PvP doesn't fix the "not enough targets" problem at all. It does solve other problems though!
