Open world PvP Zone

[Squintina]

SE has done it before. That's what is sad. FFXI had exactly what people are asking for. Dueling Circle is not the same as PvP. Jobs were not designed to go 1v1. They are meant to co-exist with each other which is why each has varying roles and we as a PvP community would like something that isn't instanced.

We literally have dead zones. DEAD. There is no activity. I challenge anyone who is against an area/zone to go to the Isles of Umbra and count how many players they see in a week. I bet you more than 80% of the people who are against the idea haven't visited it in 2 years about when Pharos Sirius HM was released.

We already have PvP why can't we expand on it. Again I am tired of having an instanced zone which all feast and frontlines are.

Edit: I made a mistake, sorry
Flags are cool.
I think I still suffer from Wow-PVP-sickness...It clouded my reaction. The horrors it was....Dark times

Edit 2: And I'm not completely against all PVP. I definitely like the idea of a PVP zone.

Just as long as there are no PVE quests in it.

I played another MMO on a PVE server, and it had "PVP zones". At first I didn't care, I would just skip those zones and let the PVPers have their fun with other PVPers....
Then a bunch of PVE quests (main and side quests) ended up in these PVP zones and jerks would come up and kill me while I was questing.

But if it's a zone that has literally only PVP content (and maybe A/Shunts since other players can still do A/S hunts in the regular maps, but no Hunting bill marks and these zones can't show up in treasure maps), and away from new player areas so new people can't accidentally walk into it while they're still learning the ins-and-outs of the game, then it doesn't seem like an unreasonable suggestion.

I would probably avoid it like the plague, but just because I don't want to enjoy it, doesn't mean others won't.

I just get a little scared of PVP in PVE zones, but I guess with a flag (that's off by default) it's fine, and as long as SE doesn't introduce bugs like being able to pvp someone else and an AOE attack can still attack a nearby PVE player.

Original post:
Whoa, hold up. It's one thing to ask for a new map in the global map that is purely for PVP (so you guys can do pvp without a queue), but leave the PVE zones alone.
It's not about whether existing players return, it's about when new players have to do story quests there and not have to be ganked. They may not come there often, but when they do, imagine how they'll feel being killed while doing a story quest. And while you may not go after low level people, others might, that's what happens in every MMO that has PVE zones with PVP in them.

PVP-only zone = good
PVE-zone with PVP = makes new people want to quit
