With the recent hunt complains..(open world pvp)

[MilesSaintboroguh]

The issue with challenging people to PvP or having open PvP is you'd also have to rework all pieces of gear to be flexible for PvE and PvP at the same time just in case someone accepts a challenge out of the blue. I have a feeling people who wander around wearing PvP gear would be initiating challenges the most because their gear is made for PvP.

You thought The Hunt was bringing out the toxic inner side of players ?

How about you make people able to kill each other, preferrably when 30 levels above and 120 item levels above (best done with PvP gear that gives even more of a boost for maximum griefing!), or in a 5 vs 1 ganking gangbang ?

Yeah, that would definitely be a great addition to the game !!!

And I'm sure it will help with awful frontline queue times too ^^

^ That was sarcasm.

toxicity is based off subjective opinions, I personally call it fun

Open world PvP only works in games designed with it in mind. This game is not even remotely balanced around PvP, and dropping open world PvP in the game would basically be the equivalent of summoning Bahamut all over again. We'd need a Realm Reborn, reborn.

Fun is not being a low level job and being jumped by high level players you can't beat.
Fun is not being denied a quest because you're being attacked by players camping spawn sites or quest locations.

The way the quests are set up is automatically working against the entire concept of open PvP. If it's ever added, it would need to be it's own zone with no quests. And it would be barren, empty and lifeless. Filled only with the scant few PvP players that exist.

The fact that PvP is already pretty much dead in places like Wolves Den and Frontlines should tell you there simply isn't enough interest in it. Force it upon players with open world PvP and you'd have a revolt on your hands.

I think we're at the point of asking if you're absolutely sure you're playing the right game for you.

I dont want to search back through years of forum posts. But when Wolves Den first hit, I believe the Devs made comments on their views of PVP and more or less said open world PVP wasn't going to happen in this game.

They also said PVP servers weren't probably going to happen because of the way the duty finder works, that and user demand wasn't high enough to build a new data center.

Given the complaints in threads I've seen here recently about the Q length for PVP, it does seem that there is a severe lack of interest in PvP among players of FFXIV in general. I think perhaps it's time for those who have a problem with the relative lack of PvP to look elsewhere, and the Devs should consider reassigning some/all of the resources currently given over to PvP, to other content that will be more widely enjoyed.
