PVP - Ideas & Expectations!!

I lol'd at this aswell, however it probably wasnt with the same intentions as you, i laughed because its kinda true. Talking about pvp to FF players is like a curse word, why?

Until the asians learn to westernize their games with a pvp route....they will always fall in the money making department compared to other companies with common sense and understand how the MMO industry works.

This is... almost offensive.

First, I could list many Asian MMOs with PvP. Lineage, TERA, hell even DragonBall Online. Oh, yeah, FFXI has PvP in it too. :P

Second, there will most likely be PvP in FFXIV someday. It just won't be the hide-in-bushes-and-repeatedly-gank-players-30-levels-lower-than-you PvP so you can laugh at them. And, frankly, I'm okay with that.

Those other games had pvp, however it wasn't really an alternative, for example in WoW if you did pvp you got some of the best gear in the game FOR pvp. Oh and hiding in bushes ganking people? That's why you don't play on a pvp server LoL. The good players didn't hide in bushes ganking low lvls, they sought after challenges in the arena against people with equal gear and levels. And if you consider Ballista in FFXI pvp....just sad, it was so pathetic and such a pain in the @$$ to do. Asians loves making everything take forever though, perhaps its due to the no ladder - reset system. TERA is looking good though but they had so many years to watch the other games like WoW own the MMO industry. You think a game with WoW's speed and FF's graphics would of already been released....i just dont understand these guys.

Don't forget Ragnarok Online. Best PvP fights are if you need to defence your guild castle against 3 full guild incoming ^^
Without a good strategy and organisation and the right classes on the right places you have no chance against the top guilds.
