PvP - Do we really want this kind of thing in Final Fantasy?

I woke up just amazed at OPs post here. For one you cannot start a debate on a yes or no basis if the OP is already on the no side. He is being biased towards one side and trying to get people on that side for his own personal gains. He started talking about the "debacle pvp in FFXI that we had", ballista was not awful and Fenrir server was one of the biggest ballista based servers that everyone heard about in any server (me on Titan) and a lot of my friends moved to Fenrir server just to play ballista only. Ballista was very popular in my own server also. Everyone loved Brenner out of the 6 years I played no one knocked Brenner they just played it with their fellow LS mates and had fun.

Next you are saying that they are gonna rebalance skills towards PvP out of your own opinion. They had PvP in FFXI on a PvE based game. They never rebalanced skills for PvP and they never will. Why would they do that on a PvE based game on FFXIV. And you also bringing up anger that people will get... cmon man you are starting forum posts like this.

Yoshi himself in the 4gamer interview said that only 15% people involve themselves into PvP based on their own data that they have at hand. That was enough for them to add PvP areas. They are excited about it, and so am I. This is a MMO that catters to everyone not just yourself, stop knocking anything that comes by that you don't like. If they are happy with the 15% player base that plays PvP than let it be and leave it alone.

Um I do indeed have a strong dislike for PvP in Final Fantasy, and the initial post has reasons both for and against it. While I might be biased in one way, I am still objective but realistic about the impact these systems have on games.
