World PvP in Eureka

[KisaiTenshi]

I'm against the idea on the pure basis that FFXIV PvP is neither engaging or fun.

I wouldn't say that. What PvP exists in FFXIV, or at least what I played for a bit was more like capture the flag than anything else.

However "Open World" PvP zones are what destroy games when there is a cash shop aspect to it. In this game, the only suitable "PvP" open world combat would have to involve another layer of gameplay, eg "Minons battle royale"

I think PvP could spice up the relic grind. Since relic and Eureka are purely optional, it would be neat to see them explore some cool ideas with it. That way even if it doesn't work out--it was just optional content to begin with.

At most, i would simply like that one of the next steps of the Relic grind can have 1 or more of the items be gained from PvP, so for example: 2 new "Rival Wings" maps are added and they take place within Eureka as a separate zone, though obviously still able to Q from wherever. And if you don't want to do whatever the grind equivalent is for said item you can do the PvP maps for it. As far as Open world PvP though? Big fat pass!

Absolutely not. Considering how many people MPK Level 5 players because they aren't trying to help spawn Fafnir or Hazmat, the potential for abuse is just way too high for something like this. Maybe if people weren't complete buttfaces for no reason, but a lot of them are. So, no. This is a terrible idea.

Why do people confuse PvP with harassment?

Why do people confuse PvP with harassment?

It's not confusing it. It's knowing that people will use it as a form of harassment. Considering how salty people get when low-levels aren't helping spawn a high-level NM, do you think they'd respond any kinder if they had the ability to open-world PvP the person and cause them to lose Crystals. Sorry, but I don't think they would be kind at all.
