PvP and its Popularity

[Nariel]

You know what we call a game no one is into? A shit game.

Could be PvE. Could be PvP. Could be the equivalent of house decoration. If no one plays it, it's almost certainly not a good game. All the more so when players have had ready access to try it, yet don't go back for seconds. Even in a nominally PvE-focused take on the genre, like XIV's, player participation absolutely should be taken as a sign of quality.

I don't know, I don't care at all about PvP in this game cause if I was looking for PvP I'd play a PvP focused game where PvP is the main attraction. FFXIV totaly is a PvE focused game and PvP is just a bones for the minority of PvP player to chew on, they gives reward to avoid the "I play PvP for nothing" rant and justify the waste of ressources it is. What a waste to lock mount, gesture and haircut in this niche feature.

All the "e-sport" thing is just them surfing the current wave of popularity, nothing more.
