DEV REQUEST:DUEL/SPAR system

[Gilthas]

That aesthetic is not determined by the players but by the developers or more so Yoshi P in this case who is a fan of PVP, you are just stating the view of how you see this game rather then the devs in that case. People are fine to dislike what they want just how I dislike seeing the circus freak town that glamours has turned this game into but I will never ask for the feature to not be there, I also feel the resources used to make vanity pieces can be used in other parts of the game instead.

Apples and Oranges.

Yes, Yoshi-P is a fan of PvP. I also bet that he's a fan of a lot of other stuff too. He's also the director of the game and knows better than just make FFXIV to his own tastes. A glaring example of this is crafting and gathering that he has no interest in yet is still in the game.

You saying that you wouldn't ask for glamours to not be in the game is completely meaningless to this argument, because it's entirely possible that glamours simply don't bother you as much as dueling would bother others.

Here's the thing: I don't like PVP but let's be fair, every one of us has a list of content that we don't play or don't like. The resource argument can be, and is, thrown at everything in this game. The aesthetic complaint can just as easily be applied to the players spamming emotes or actions. For players like us (who will never touch a dueling system), my only request is that, by default, I can't be bothered with it. If it doesn't impact my game play, then it doesn't exist as far as I'm concerned.

A lot of arguments can be used for a lot of different things in this game. That doesn't mean that they aren't valid arguments or shouldn't be considered. Just as people are voicing that they want open-world duels, others can voice that they want PvP to continue hidden in instances.
