Reviving PvP & Ballista

[Habiki]

All that gear swapping nonsense can stay in PvE where it belongs. It's really not hard to put together a solid build based around your job/enemy team's jobs or to quickly write some ballista macros.

Most likely if the restriction stays in place noone will do it except for the people posting they think the restriction should stay, atleast there should be an option to turn gear swapping on or off inside PVP areas.

I really don't think a gear swap penalty is what's preventing people from PvPing. XI's community for the most part seems very against any form of PvP to begin with. Why would the ability to gearswap for every spell/JA/WS/emote/whatever stop you from enjoying ballista?

The reason it stopped me from enjoying Ballista is because I can't play my jobs as effectively as I can outside. I don't like being constrained to a single set of gear, no one does it outside PvP, so why be constrained to it inside. Granted the whole lose target thing sucks, but there are more ways to deal with that than just removing an essential part of the game itself.

Random: Currently, I think if you are attacking someone in Ballista and they switch gear, you only lose lock-on. Not 100% as I haven't played seriously since 07.

Its because the community is dwindling down to housewives and weenies, and is quite honestly the biggest bunch of sissies I've ever seen.
