Official Open World PvP Petition

[Baneus]

"Everyone else does it" is never a good excuse for anything. And, as I pointed out, an existing server cannot be converted to open world PvP without destroying the community of that server. I'm not saying that's it's a bad idea, but the real question is "is it worth it"? Personal opinions and rhetoric aside; "is the PvP community in FFXIV:RR large enough to warrant a server of its own"?

That's the purpose of this thread, and, if the numbers of likes in this thread is any real indication, it would seem that an entire server would not be a viable option. However, I vehemently oppose the notion that I see repeated ad nauseum on these forums that "FFXIV is a PvE game." It's a modern MMORPG and PvP is a large part of that formula, not just something slapped on to it for a little diversion like gardening. You are definitely right that converting a server would be an awful decision and I don't think anyone is arguing for that (I'm certainly not).

You can't look at it like that really. Only a small part of the community visits these forums; many stay away from them or just don't care about them.

Indication is already there, you dont have enough players to support this idea to begin with. You can oppose the notion about "FFXIV is a PvE game" because it is what it is. PvP is not even in the initial planning phase of FF14 1.0, lore wise and system wise. It is until Yoship took over and PvP has its place in the planning phase of FF14 ARR, but it is still restricted by the original FF14 1.0 system mechanic.
