Boy, i like pvp but this is dumb pvp what you propose.
Better if they do frontlines with no GC restriction, simply all as it is but without GC grouping.

To this extent no. You're adding an open world PvP that serves no purpose other than to kill people for shiggles. Especially in this game setting where PvP is a mess, you're taking away from development time for something that'll last as long as maybe a week?
The implement can be worked upon, but I'm taking it face value with what's being suggested; a free for all slaughter fest in an area outside of a populated area, where you're open to get attacked as soon as you step in. There's absolutely no incentive other than shiggles.
Because making something purely for fun in this type of genre will not be self sustaining. Once it dies, you'll get people asking why no one is doing open PvP. As I said before, there's no incentive for doing open PvP and funsies isn't a good way to keep it alive. The "fun" will only be there for a few days, then the fun stops.
It's just a ringed area outside RT (or a big pit at the wolves den) that flags other players as enemies when entered and allows PvP actions inside it.
I'm no expert but I really can't see that taking much dev time at all. If it was quite a task to create, then no I guess it's not worth it. 'FFA Fight pit' would definitely be a niche interest.
The whole genre is just for fun though, right?
lol..This feature would literally have no effect on the people who don't like it.
FFXIV is a team-game for the more part. Free For All goes against much of the value of it.
Would be fun. I can see groups killing innocent players and I rush in to save the day, only to die in a blazing glory that'll get everyone motivated to avenge me.
