Leveling up through PvP - Thanks <3

[Nikita]

From the translation post from Stanislaw: Yoshi-P Interview Translation Project (4Gamer, GAME Watch)

4Gamer:
Will it be possible to level up through PvP?

吉田氏：
　できます。ただしある程度のレベルがないと，PvPコンテンツには参加できないので，最低限のエオルゼアのルールを知ってからご参加ください，という感じです。それ以降はPvPのみでも，レベルは上がるようにしたいと思っています。
　その一方では，自分ではPvPをしないプレイヤーであっても同じ勢力のPvPプレイヤーを支援できる要素も入れたいと考えています。例えば，勝利側の勢力のみがアクセスできるコンテンツを用意するとかですね。
Yoshi-P:
Yes. However, you have to reach a certain level before you can participate in PvP content, so one must familiarize themselves with basic Eorzea rules before participating in such activities. Afterwards, we would like to make it so players will be free to level up though PvP alone.
Additionally, we would also like to implement features where even if one were a player who doesn't participate in PvP, they can support other PvP players who share the same allegiance. For example, content that's only accessible by the forces that had won.

Thank you for giving us another way to level up, PvP! To me, PvP is something that is always fresh. With monsters and bosses, you know what they do, they do the same things over and over, you know their abilities, you know when they use them. With PvP, you never really know what your opponent can pull out of their sleeve!

I have friends that simply would not touch this game as it had no PvP content, I know a few of them are pretty excited for the 2.0 reboot now, though!

I cannot express how happy I was to see this in the translation, but thank you so much for taking different types of gamers into consideration when planning out version 2.0. <3

That's a better incentive than anything. MapleStory added PvP to the game recently, but if it didn't award a decent amount of EXP, I doubt if anyone would have made use of it. There are some good items to get from it, though people in that game are among the laziest I've ever seen

I don't want to hear anyone complaining about Pvp when it's in a closed environment and it won't hurt anyone that's not participating.

I'm not a PvPer but it is nice to see that they are going to add this option for people that truly enjoy PvP over PvE content.

My personal stance: I'm not a fan of PvP..though on other games i indulged if i was feeling like it. at least they are giving you the choice, unlike different MMO's (Aion i'm looking at you). I just hope they don't make the mistake of putting one type of player on a pedestal, while the other gets the s**t end of the stick. PvP or non-PvP, no one should have to lose out on content i guess.

But speaking on the side of what i know will be said: If i don't PvP all day and a guy just walks out of an arena with gear or rewards just as good as mine when i took however long to get face-rolled by Ifrit and orges and the like..on top of leve or xp grinding..i'd be pissed.

Wow they are lifting way more features found in WoW than I originally thought. Great features but features that are not original. I seen it coming when Yoshi-P took over, and I hope they are done well.

It's not really fair to complain about features "lifted from WoW" when WoW has already done everything you could possibly imagine.

This is the 21st century. There's no such thing as originality.

I fucking LOVE PVP.
YES.

Some of my thoughts: The best gear for PvP was not the best gear for raiding, due to resilience. So I don't really understand what you are talking about there. Also, on the topics of some of the rewards for PvPing in WoW, take the exclusive mounts for example, they were only rewarded to the top, what, 5% of all PvPers? That seems a little more difficult than Ifrit, just saying...

Could be fun, I have always found mobs with player skill sets to be much more enjoyable to fight. And with this a real person will be executing the moves!

But how will anyone learn their job if they can boost in PvP. Might as well rename the game Modern Warfare XIV.
