Hm. Well, I suppose I didn't really see the "Casuals vs Hardcores" argument coming in this one. Personally, I'd wager that it's a little late in the game for people to be still using the "Rushed to 50" explanation as far as content is involved. At this point, everyone has had more than enough time to level up at least one class and a craft to 50 and get them appropriately geared to reach out to everything that's available. If not, then they're doing some real savoring of what's available. Either way, I think the "rushed to 50" argument is a little weak at this point, even more-so for us Legacy players.
Nonetheless, I'm going to lean on the skeptical side of things as far as PVP is concerned. I don't think it's going to be as fleshed out and "awesome" as people are making it out to be. I mean, this is Final Fantasy, right? Are people really riding the hype train and thinking that it's going to be some super incredible addition to the gameplay now? It's fine to think it'll be good and all, but I wouldn't bet all of my money on it. I'm pretty sure it'll be one of those cases where everyone is super excited about it and when it comes out, it doesn't meet those lofty expectations and people will be mad all over again.
Only PVP that I expect to live up to its name is Street Fighter, or some other Fighting game equivalent, but a Final Fantasy MMO is the last place I think it'd flourish into the monster people seem to be expecting.


just as a minor quibble, One, Battle Net and competative multiplayer for the WarCraft series launched with WarCraft 2: Tides of Darkness and two, that criticallyand commercially WarCraft 3:Reign of Chaos was considered a huge let down following the success of StarCraft.prior to hitting it big with warcraft 3, the warcraft universe was a single player game. I don't understand this notion of "it's final fantasy, it can't have PvP." There is no like... final fantasy constitution that says there can't be pvp (or some kind of competitive, not really story driven mode *cough the card games, blitzball, etc*) in a final fantasy game.

Same can be said with hardcore players, once content runs dry or isn't delivered fast enough you jump ship and find yourself a new shiny challenge to face. This whole casual vs. hardcore thing is getting old. I know both casual and hardcore gamers who are still playing the same game for years. I still log on those just to say hi to a few.
Obviously some of you are leaving and some of you aren't. It depends on the person.

Odd i never played with other people only robots that want stuff fast
