will xiv's pvp ever be as robust as wow's?

[grinkdaboy]

i loved the pvp in wow and if not for the fact that i did not enjoy almost every facet of retail wow i would probably be still subbed to play bgs.

so the question is will we ever see the variety in pvp game modes? i'd really love to see some good old fashioned capture the flag

Probably not. FFXIV's pvp has never been as fun as WoW's. Most people can agree that XIV's pvp is very lackluster.

I have zero interest in PVP matches, or larger content. But Dueling needs to be a thing.

[SturmChurro]

I highly doubt it would ever be. You have like no self sustain, and simplified skills. They would have to rebalance/redesign the entire thing to get PvP in a good place.

I imagine a moba style mechanic would work.

[VirusOnline]

Unfortunately no.
FFXIV is PvE oriented and the entire system/engine is built just around that. What FFXIV did was put such a design onto a PvP environment and what you have is exactly what the above post pointed out. The system for PvP is lackluster, clunky, a depreciated form of WoWs PvP, which leaves much to be desired.

Just selfishly, I wouldn't want them to put any substantial amount of resources or attention into PvP. I believe they're better spent capitalising on areas that have actual potential in this game - PvE and casual/social content.

No there won't because most people hate pvp and would complain if SE would spend any resources into something that they don't like. Also if SE develops more pvp i would worried about how its gonna end up because they've shown that they don't really have a idea about what pvp in an MMORPG should look like when they implemented this useless combo button system, which killed the fun in pvp for a lot of people.

I played both WoW and GW2 PvP and gotta say, XIV can't even hope to compare to one of those.

And now there's people asking for this system for PvE. Gods help us all.
