We are 11 Years out from Launch. If you joined anytime after 15-16 you struggled to get FP matches. I understand there are many dedicated FP players, but it is literally impossible to get Clan/House Titles & Badges. I don't know the technical complications around making this feasible, but I think it would add something to push towards in QP.

i wouldn't mind getting a reduced amount of faction XP for QP matches. the rewards aren't bad for it. not enough to get me into the **** hole that is FP but it would be enough for me to play QP more often if i got some progress to those rewards. (i admit they were very enticing when i was a new player with limited Mech bays and mechs but once i got past a certain point they just didn't seem worth the headaches)

Faction play dropped the night before one of the hardest exams I had to write in university and I still haven't forgiven PGI for that.

And yeah its a shame they never figured out how to make FP work when it didn't have huge player companies to support it. The moment Phase 3 hit and they nerfed the company rewards the entire game mode basically collapsed and it never recovered, and its horrifying to me that you've brought up that its been a decade since, but yeah... 2014. What the hell.

fp events can draw players. you just have to do them. perhaps with quadruple lp payouts.

Or just leave the handful of FP players alone and let the rest of us farm the star chart rewards in QP.

you can do that but people have shown up to every fp event. even thought there are a few butthurt skittles who play 2 games, quit, and complain on the forums. meanwhile the queue is full and matches do drop at an acceptable rate.

frankly i think those skill trees in fp did more harm than good, drawing in people who wanted loot and not the game mode itself.

That's my point. To be fair I did plenty of farming in FP when people could queue up. But even then it was 12 man premades. I don't mind the game mode but like you said majority go in for the loot. So just make the loot accessible outside of FP.

Currently is probably the best time ever to solo pug in FP ever (at least if your fear is to get farmed bye 12 man). There are no big premades left. Teams mostly consist of 2-4 man's mixed with a bunch of random pugs. At least that is EU prime

It would take literal years to grind out a badge or title in FP. Its literally impossible to earn the loot that is in game. I'm saying make it accessible to QP so people can earn the loot. Premades aren't a concern. A DEAD game mode that is gating off stuff people want is my concern.

tbh... they never really tried to... it was more of a "oh welp... that would take effort, well just let it die" thingy
