Open world PvP Zone

[Wintersandman]

Thats because world PVP just looks like a good idea. We imagine people rallying, on an all out war full of coolness, leadership and strategy. Balanced factions, people helping each other.
That doesn't exist. Theres no glory. Just shameless ganking and uninterested people. Everyone will flock to the strongest faction, since in FFXIV theres absolutely no sense of unity in the existing factions.
I got into Wpvp thinking it would be fun and awesome, the only thing i got was frustation and having to stop questing for almost a day because the opposing faction controlled the area (and that happened A LOT).

Factions change all the time though in FFXIV. You can watch Frontlines shift all the time as people don't always want to be on the strongest faction. Sometimes it is nice to be on the underdog and upset the 'strongest'. I have been part of a 8 man group fighting off another 24 man group in shatter at their base. People would get high/fever die and get rezed back up. A coordinated team is much more effective than the illusion of being the 'strongest'. I know this because I coordinate teams all the time.

Also again no one is saying to put questing in the zone.
