There are glaring issues that could be fixed in 1 hour with a hotfix but we get radio silence for large amounts of time. Why don't all of these good suggestions get replies? I play this game, possibly the MOST out of anyone on NA, for specifically BGs. There is absolutely no way that the devs or team that works on PVP actually play it daily or anything past "testing". We want to know what you are going to do about cross healing, every other post is about it. We want to know why in 4v4 non deathmatch games start with 1 objective so it turns into whoever just gets to it faster and then self heals/tanks for 5mins. We want to know why there are lobbies being started without enough people when dungeons and other systems in-game already have UI in place that won't start the activity until everyone is ready. We want to know why there are medal based leaderboards that no one wants. They should be removed entirely and the only thing that should matter is Win/Loss with a way to see your rating go up or down, it just makes even more healers/tanks due to getting high score. I've been rank 1 multiple times just by going aoe healing over time build for 1 day of the 7 and getting insane points whereas when I'm dmg you get 1/4 the amount, which shouldn't even matter! You can lose every single game but if you are healing you will be rank 1 for the week? So between medals not being fair across the board and the fact it is just time put in, no one actually cares about it. Just because there isn't a better game to fit what we want to play, doesn't mean you all should just give up and look at charts to determine what changes to make. I would love to have a chat through voice or email with the dev team if they want to hear from someone who literally NO-LIFEs MMOs to help them hear what hardcore AND casuals want. Some of the new changes have been great but overall it has just shown the issues that the game already has and it is showcased even more. With having a streamer event soon with one of the biggest youtubers SypherPK, you have a real chance to get so many people back into this game for the pvp, if I was him and played some matches, it is just going to show how bad the systems are at the moment. I already made a previous post on changes that could be done overnight that the community talks about often. We just need more open communication, your PVP players feel like you don't care. The saddest thing is all the people holding out hope because of this games insane potential to be great. I can't speak for everyone in the community but posts like these are not to say the game is trash and no one should play it, it is us reaching out and hoping you all will put time and energy into a game we love being a part of. Please open the lines of communication up and show us you want to make PVP more fun for everyone.

Cross healing isn't that strong. Pointlessly parsing pure healers is the real problem. Gotta focus the squishy ones.

You've answered your own question.
Combat team is tiny. Still haven't finished projects from years ago (hybridization, Grave Lord's Sacrifice, etc_). ZOS doesn't even have a full time PvP dev (the overloaded combat lead is also the PvP dev).Cross healing isn't that strong. Pointlessly parsing pure healers is the real problem. Gotta focus the squishy ones.
All healing/Shielding in the game is too strong, too easy, and too accessible. Squishy healers are not not the problem because 1) they explode and heal nobody 2) don;t exist in good group comps.

Well, considering Microsoft's position and the recent events with ZOS, can you really hope for anything substantial in the future????

I meant focus the squishy damage dealer. Focus the damage dealers by order of squishiness.
The second one has too much hp and not enough armor. Plus he has 85% dmg reduction because he's holding block, stun him and kill him. Move to the first target, the only real threat. This is a 4x2, because the tank and healer are only there to be heavy attacked. If the second one is only holding block, this is a 4x1.Which one is the squishy one? The one with 35k hp, 28k armor, and 3k crit resists? Or the one with 45k hp, and 85% damage reduction but only 20k armor? Also, which one is the damage dealer? The one stacking Vigor and Rapid Regen? Or the one stacking Vigor and Arctic Blast? They all have a burst heal capable of doing 10k+. And they all have at least two HoTs ticking for 2k-4k at all times on themselves and everyone around them. Which one am I supposed to go for first again? Yeah, these are the damage dealers. We haven't even touched on the tanks and healers yet.
