I posted it on the OF and the official forums, but I will also post it here. As the new live letter date has been announced for March 21st and the theme list discussions does not seem to contain PvP or Frontlines it might be safe to say we'll be waiting until 2.3 for the next PvP patch. However, I'd like to see if we can get Yoshi P to at least maybe give us an answer on release dates and other info to look forward to in the mean time.

If you guys who are interested in PvP could click like this post so it has a chance of getting picked for the Live Letter I think it would be awesome to get some feed back. I hope this is allowed and I'm not breaking some rule by posting this on BG. Thanks!
Trying to get into PvP on WHM and as expected, I'm getting my ass kicked.
So from my understanding, I should be sticking to lvl 30/40 queues until I rank up high enough for iLvl70 stuff. I'm an iLvl88 WHM, is it worth it to get the iLvl55 PvP set? I've been told to get Attunement first, what should I aim for after?
Morale has no effect during LV30/40 PVP, so the iLV55 set is lame. As for skills, Purify, Equanimity, Divine Breath, and probably Sacred Prism should precede Attunement.
I'm just starting really (Rank 10) and I'm finding 40 cap is a lot more fun on WHM than 30. Stoneskin and regen make you very useful. My understanding is that if you got the best level appropriate gear (pink 40) that's the best way to gear but honestly I do fine in my usual i86 crap. I have SCH at i90 which is main for PvE but I'm enjoying PvP on WHM right now. Perhaps when I rank up and get geared I'll try SCH more.
getting against premade 4man teams all night in 30/40 cap is a lot of fun solo
did this patch completely fuck pvp queue times? I always swap between melee/tank/healer/ranged for whatever instant queues and surely people are doing this shit 2 days after a patch so why 10min queues on every job with very very rarely <30seconds
I'm rank 17 so surely its not taking this long to search for people >.> could be the worst idea yet
Fresh patch and a seemingly dying interest in pvp most likely. I'd have thought the challenge log would really spark people to hit rank 30. Give it some more time. They also tailored it so you do battle with others around your rank and if none are there the range widens.
You're smack dab in the middle, and they just reworked queue timers so that you're more likely to get queued with people of similar rank. I would imagine right now, the people queueing for PvP are the ones who didn't get into it much in 2.1 and want to now with the changes, or the people who were already 30.
thats why I said this could be the worst idea yet the only thing worse than pvp in this game is waiting 10 minutes between matches
Just started doing PvP with the 2.25 update. Shit is fun as hell.
Who got dat MRD info doe? Would love to know what I am supposed to be doing on my march to i100 PvP gear, lol.
4980 to R31
this is going to be like 1-30 all over again lol, at least there is the challenge log bonus now.
7/8 and someone withdraws. Rage. They have to increase Mark rate if the queue time is gonna be long like this.
Yeah it's pretty dead for a R30 atm, expected more..but there are so many noobs out right now, I hope the range will widen soon since that's how it's supposedly working now.
I have to wait twice. Once for nobody being in the 30s, again to wait for the range to widen so I'm able to fight noobs. Blarg. Probably better tonight, I guess.
Between the weekly 400 exp you get from the challenge log, and the amount of people testing the waters, things are going pretty good now for progression.
It's still going to take forever to get to 40 though. Hopefully interest lasts, as people tend to give up early when they don't win.
why are you on the currency tab and not the stat tab for this screenshot orz
anyways this patch rekindled the little interest i had in PVP but my entire eorzean day is already taken up by Unspoiled Nodes
