When the DAOC AKA real MMO PVP comes on bards will be the first target lol and tanks. I really hope they put on a stealth class soon

When that "real PVP" game comes, why would they have bards from a different game such as FF14? Wouldn't they have made their own unique classes for said game?

But then they go further pretty much saying a PvPer will have to PvE to buy armor from crafters; it's right there in the OP

They didn't say anything at all like this. You don't HAVE to buy crafted gear. You can use whatever gear you already have, it's just not going to have any special attributes geared towards PvP. Nowhere did they imply a compulsion to obtain crafted equipment.

What lol? Any type of buffing or healing class is the first to be targeted, not sure if you have pvped befor but ya it happens. I have pvped since 1997-present, not an elitist but still I have some idea atleast hot it works.

I am so excited for PvP! I am not excited for grinding more PvP gear. D":

Before they deliberately let it die, Ballista was the most fun I ever had in FFXI hands down.

Ahmigod the memories...I miss those days.

Somehow doubt we'll get something like that again, but I'm stoked nevertheless. ♥

Leeeeeeeeet's just hope they do something about the whole sleep lock thing, nobody's going to enjoy standing around helplessly the majority of the time.

SE. No one wants PVE. Remove all monsters from this game. You can only level up from fighting other players. Actually, remove the leveling system too. And make it first person only. And add guns.

I'm all for PVP. I don't even like PVP myself, but I think it should be an option for those who do. Don't want it? Don't play it then.

For some people it's a dealbreaker, so if PVP equals more satisfied players equals long lasting game, I say bring it.

The thing is - When PvP is an element or gets introduced into a primarily PvE MMO, the PvE side ends up suffering. This is why it's a deal breaker for some and the whole "dont like it? don't do it" approach is rendered moot if the developer ends up making it very important to do in any way.
