Argument PvP isn't meant to be in the game is same like any fiction writers aren't meant to write their own story version or there shouldn't be any guides, farming or learning PF. Neither are speed kills or world first races. Those things are decided by the players, not the game. There are arcade/book games where the only thing you do is fit the video game goals/numbers and watch a bunch pretty cutscenes. FF14 is a players game the moment they decided to make it multiplayer game, this is consequence for any multiplayer. Only difference between PvP and PvE is who set your numbers. It's purely yours on PvP. Really winning/losing, dying/killing.. those are just numbers you can adjust to your comfort level.

This is also PvP btw, or NvN :
