Wait can someone clarify this for me haha, I just came back to XIV and dabbled in PVP, potions were ALLOWED before?? XD No wonder sometimes I felt like someone was healing who shouldn't be healing haha. Were items always allowed in all forms of PVP? Shatter/Rival wings and feast?? And to be clear, now NO items at all are allowed?

Although SE seems to have extremely dumbed down PVP from last time I played, I kind of think that's a good idea about the potions. I don't think items are usually allowed in the majority of PVP games I played before, it can give an unfair advantage, just like how they made gear not matter in PVP as well, which follows the trend of other games I played. PVP should be skill based only; cosmetic gear only. Gear shouldn't matter, no items allowed, only you and your skill.

The problem with this in XIV tho is they dumbed down the PVP so much that I re-learned the PVP game and felt competent after only like 1 hour XD In other games it takes me weeks even to feel slightly capable of holding my own haha. This game seems to be just bide your time, do map objectives, don't over extend, and coordinate your burst with others to be able to kill anything when a healer is around. It's very very simple, but I like no items anyhow.
