Great point!

Once they fix the UI and make all the class/job adjustments and additions then I would definitely like to see some PvP. Maybe make a zone/area that you can go where you PvP and you can sign up to fight for either side. Or something of that sort.

I still really like LoTRO's PvMP where you can play a monster character and PvP that way.

PVP always makes me nervous. In an excited "I'm not sure I'm going to live through this kind of way". It's very possible to balance both pve and pvp and then just make the pvp optional. I would love to see a massive pvp in FFXIV to add to the things to do and make the game competitive.

I notice one of the biggest complaints against pvp is that classes may get changed or 'nerfed' due to pvp balancing. I find issue in this because they won't ever change a class to make it unbalanced, only change it to work differently. They may lengthen a recast timer but make the ability stronger or make casting time instant and people will shout nerf and be upset but the class will still serve its role just slightly differently. The real thing that bugs me about this is you shouldn't be choosing a class for how overpowered you feel it is but because you like playing that class. Which is why it's silly when I read these 1.18 complaints about archer and mages getting nerfed when really an archer is still an archer and mages use mp to cast spells (go figure).
