I don't follow the news too closely, but I have not seen any real mention of pvp rewards beyond the new standard Seasons/Series info since the pvp changes. I have seen no mention of bringing back the old series rewards for people that missed certain things, I have seen no mention of adding new rewards to vendors for Trophies/Marks...
On that topic specifically... when was the last time we got new gear for Wolf Marks? Shadowbringers? I guess you could argue that when they brought Garo gear back, that was a "new" reward for Wolf Marks... Genuinely, we used to get two sets each expansion AND they included weapons prior to the last two... and we've now gone a full 2 expansions length without getting any new sets. I get that trophy rewards are kinda limited, as the currency is much tougher to earn and I can totally respect not adding new stuff in there all the time... although it is often just updated versions of old sets, so i don't get why it would be that tough to have that be a regular addition for a while.
For Wolf Marks though, our last set was the Late Allagan gear added in 5.1, we are now firmly into 7.1 without having another set added. The launch of 5.1 was in 2019, we are just about to hit the 5 year anniversary of our last set added. If you want to get super technical you could call the Garo gear "new" as many new people would not have had access to it, and that is still close to 2.5 years without having gear added. I know there are kind of a lot of rewards, and a brand new player may look and see hundreds of thousands of marks needed for rewards as an intimidating challenge... but after a year of daily frontline queues you will probably get close to running out of rewards you actually want. I would throw out a guess that less than 1% of players have any interest in obtaining ALL the pvp rewards, like, every piece of gear. Not just because it is unlikely for someone to actually want each individual piece... but the sheer amount of storage space needed to keep this crap is nuts! I have almost every piece and it eats up part of my glamour chest, and about a full retainer... I don't own it all, as many pieces are irrelevant or just plain ugly and I don't care to have them... but you could easily eat up about 2 full retainers just with unique gear alone, which does beg the question of why I can't have these added to the armoire already... but thats a separate issue.
I do NOT pvp regularly... I have done my best to reach series rank 25 each series, and basically stop all pvp entirely after reaching it. I have been playing for a long time, but prior to freelance being the norm I was Twin Adders and we lost every single match. When the freelance thing started I had 300 matches and 1 win lol
Even just barely managing to reach rank 25 each series has gotten me so many Wolf Marks that I've been dumping them on nonsense items in the "other" category since the second series. Not mounts/pets... i mean materia and ventures lol /rant
tl;dr - Where new wolf mark rewards? Where old series rewards? Its been years! Also, add pvp gear to armoire plox.
