Please Save Mixed Mode!
Mixed Mode is really suffering - I occasionally enjoy it as an alternative to turf, because it gives you a change in maps & objectives as well as (usually) short, fast-paced games. I've tried playin...

When I first got into GW1 I focused on mixed mode as I like seeing all the maps and like playing more than just 1 mode. Later as GW1's population dwindled you only really got matches in G&G and some in TV on PC so had to choose between them and G&G was more popular in general. I really liked Taco Bandits too!
In GW2 it quickly became all TT and little less barring the portal so to get the quests for other modes done had to play private matches. I'd rather be able to play all modes even though I prefer objective based play over other modes, but it's already becoming all TT or weekly events (Ops is more popular here than it was in GW2 though), due to the problems PvP in BfN still has.
The latest update has helped but there are still some glaring issues that have to be addressed for the game to get over this hump. There are also some problems with the Rux store that is causing issues. They really need to get PvP more enjoyable and balanced, fix any performance issues people have, fix team imbalance problems, and be more clear on Rux's stock rotation with the real money it costs. Once that's done they need to promote the game much better than they have.
A new game like this should have all modes packed full of people. I see decent matches in TT and quite a few in Ops, but I feel a lot of new players are in the PvE areas as they are frustrated with PvP which will turn PvP focused players away and that's not a good place to be.
