PVP!

[Zarabi]

I hate forced PvP, where no matter where you are you can be attacked by random people. That is disgusting and im so glad FFXI doesn't have that.

However there is a method that would please all.

Have an option to ASK an player/party/alliance to PvP against you anytime anywhere (excluding towns maybe).
Also have an option to auto-decline and not even see the invitations if you are not interested at all.

A dueling option would be amaaaazing, and if you didn't want to duel just set an option to ignore duels.
Hell you could make an area where the duel command works and get rid of the joke that is Pankration.

Tbh I think if /duel was implemented everyone would be about 99% satisfied.

Forced PvP isn't really PvP its normally ten people versus a guy. Which isn't PvP thats 10PvP.

I agree it really isn't ever done well, and forced PvP totally defeats the spirit of what everyone here is talking about, I find it very sad that everyone equates PvP to 'ganking' and being an ass. So I'll flat out say that anyone proposing forced PvP in FFXI is flat out retarded.

However it would be cool if there were places you could go, zones, or an area that is completly optional to fight or get attacked or vice versa. Then I believe its a choice, it could be much like campaign you sign up for tags etc.

There could be rewards in these zones, but why shouldn't there be? You don't have to go there and do them, but if you want them you do the content, just like anything else in the game. We do the same for everything else and killing people for something in a controlled area is way more fun than camping HNM's for 5 hours ever was.


The only people that advocate FREEWORLDPVPLOL, are either ones that seriously just enjoy being douches - or perhaps its a mechanic of the game implemented at start. I personally have never had fun in world PvP but I enjoy duels and fights in arena's etc. Running up to a guy at 15% hp doesn't prove anything besides that you are a spineless weasel.

I do agree that the dueling option seems like a VERY good idea.

Also, late reply, but, NO. NO. YOU STAY AWAY FROM MY SPANKRATION!

It's called the Coloseum that they never opened. Remember? It's that door to the left of pokem... pankration.
