Because fragmentation means needing more resources. Even if there were only 2 servers (1 JP 1 NA), they would have to spend a hell of a lot of resources tweaking/rebalancing many things in the world.

Where do the safe zones start and end?
What of the people questing out in the open world?
Are crafters/gathers viable targets too?
Are PVP skills available all the time, everywhere?
Which duty finder group will these fine, friendly folk join?

We've not even getting into the code, just working out all these scenarios would take up too much man hours for it to be viable for an extremely niche audience.

FFXIV is a PvE game with limited PvP.
Accept that.
