FFA PVP Servers.

Discuss.

Population would certainly support at least one.

Why or Why not?

I want open world pvp, but it obviously wont happen.

Not open world but you can look at duty finder anytime you want to PvP when it becomes available.

Would be nice to have at least one of the duel functions from other mmos. Always fun to battle a friend randomly.

A bit lackluster when people can just run away from zone to zone

How about just an FFA game type?

I hope never. PvP always seems to ruin games, especially if it wasn't planned from the start. I can just imagine now, the few people who play on the servers would moan and complain that their class was gimped, and so and so needs to be nerfed while theirs needs to be buffed. All while ignoring how they perform in PvE.

PVP is coming the first being 4v4 and 8v8 in patch 2.1 and also frontline which will be large scale faction PVP. PVP in FF XIV ARR has been outlined since the start, not to mention Yoshi P is a massive PVP fan.

{Thanks for the offer, but I'll have to pass.}

It has been announced since the start, but I'm not expecting much tbh

Given that PvP was planned to be implemented and is being worked on, you're going to face those very same concerns regardless, and not because it wasn't planned from the start. Adding a fully ffa pvp server wouldn't impact your enjoyment of the game any more than not having one, so I don't see a reason to not have it.

Oh noes, don't bring up PvP in FFXIV:Carebearland. Seriously this thread will garner naught but hate. FF fans are RPG fans not FPS fans for the most. Personally I'd love a PvP server, or even better yet, how about a duty finder PvP WORLD that you could enter and exit freely. I'm not hugely fond of arena style PvP other than that people will only run away from you temporarily. Hopefully battlegrounds proves to be large and unrestricted. In Beta I did spend some time in the Wolves Den and I liked it except for the Queue times and fact that it last at most 5 minutes and then you have to re-queue.
