A friend of mine said to me one day that the only way open world PvP could work in Final Fantasy 14 is if Garlemald became a playable faction. If players had to choose between True Eorzeans (made-up faction name) or Garlemald, they could meet and fight each other in the open world.

But yeah, low-level ganking, trash talking, harassment, "grow a pair," "carebear," etc., etc., etc.
