SIEGE PvP is dead

in Player Feedback (PC)
I am thoroughly angry. I have started to play PvP and of course, one wants the Lionsmane set for that.
But there seems to be no way to get it any more. Nobody plays it really. I have been trying to get into Stronghold Siege for 2 weeks now and
I have gotten in ONCE. At this rate. It will take me at least 6 months to get the set. Is that really what Cryptic wants? I don't know any more to be honest.
Why is it always the same? You put out new content, everyone jumps at that and after they got what the new contents has to offer, they stop playing it. Talk about sustainability here.
Give us better rewards and reduce the number of players to 20 maybe. That would at least help a bit or give us a completely other way to get the banners of the fallen. Like an exchange for Fangs of the Dragonflight.
I really don't get Cryptic's or PWE'S ideology. You are destroying your own content by this "Farm till you get the achievement and then never play again" mentality

    Or maybe just give us 2 banners of the fallen for every hour we uselessly wait in the queue. That would compensate...

    The queuesystem holds back interested players too. You can not queue in groups with members from different guilds. So all the channels with ppl who want play sh pvp in a style and with rules they want cant. If you queue and get the waiting for map state you cant leave queue anymore even if this state hold on for 20 minutes. Onyl way to go out is logout for some minutes or press decline at the accept/decline window, that causes everyone to kick out of matching process and sometimes out of the whole queue. If we get alliances it must be possible to queue sh pvp with groupmembers from different guilds.
    So the queuesystem need a good rework to do what it is designed for. match ppl to get into sh pvp.
    The accept/decline window is sometimes not seeable, because you deal with a merchant or similar modal dialogs. if you close merchant window you will be counted as decliner sometimes. The queuesystem is broken in many ways.
    Why not showing the number of ppl in queue when choosing the queue i want join?
    Why break matching process if someone is declining?
    And why the hell i can get banners only from sh pvp and not in exchange for something other?

    Pure -> Transcendent Plague Fire weapon enchantment giving 80damge/20 seconds for 500k+ AD is a joke.

    the reason i stop play it was because i crashed from time to time. and when you crash you cant log back. my last match was spend 50 minutes there, then crash and log into protector enklave. no more.....

    On a more serious note - it is one of the things which look good in a press release and dies with 0 dev time into it after release.

    Like lots of the last few mods features

    Even on Xbox, it is so dumb with the companions that people can use. Wether it be shadow demon, rust monster, owl bear cub, etc... It is so dumb how hard it is to acquire the gear. They should change it to where you can buy it in the Trade of Blades. Siege shouldn't even be in the game. They should add more PvP maps and options to acquire the gear set you desire. That would fix it all. No more companions, server lag, frame rate drop, just a simple 5v5 different game mode. Or really anything besides siege. Ya know?

    Siege pvp was and is awesome. I love it. The problem is there is absolutely no reason to do it. The game is dying as a whole because the rewards are miserable at best.

    The entire game is based around this. Why do you think there's a timegate on campaigns? So they can say they create a month's worth of playing content every 3/4 months. In reality the actual content is less than a week's worth of time. That's how the game's designed. It's not like ESO where they can just push out huge maps worth 100h of playtime every 6 months. They can't afford it.
    That is not what I meant. We all not Neverwinter is somewhat of a grinder. No problem for me. But it is so easy to just switch out rewards or make a generally better reward system... If you design something that is just farmed for a month or so, then why do you make the rewards you get from it the best item available in the next 12 months or so ? That is just unfair.

    I am very sceptical about anything changing to be honest. Why not just create another way to get the banners?
