PvP breeds all kinds of terrible behavior, just look at WoW's general community.

WoW is very toxic and there is actual player hate towards players of opposite faction. I mean, there was that Blizzcon where a person wearing Alliance colors was physically assaulted by a person (or was it multiple people, I forget) wearing Horde colors.

When you have people physically assaulting each other IRL because of something stupid like an imaginary faction in-game, you've crossed the line.

I'd rather not have more PvP here in FFXIV. The fact it's way off to the side and few people care about it is a good thing.
PvP is almost like a competitive thing, and nothing is good in that when it comes to relationship. I have played a lot of competitive games and to be honest, I'm very tired when people trash talk and hate on each other. But everyone has their own preference in their MMORPG style. Some like the cartoon-ish and the intense environment of PvP in WoW, while some others prefer to spend their time in PvE, stories, contents and hanging around with a chill community in a well polished game like Final Fantasy XIV, which is a reason why I quit GW2. There are definitely features that I still like in that game but the visual of the game is one of the reason I quit it (I do agree that it looks good but I just have a different taste).
