What is your least favorite in game activity, and why?

PvP.

In fact, I like FF14's PvP system overal, and do participate in in occasionally when I feel like this. It's just that I simply don't like PvP overal no matter what game it is, and that's why that's the least favorite activity and also why I appreciate FF14 for being PvE focused game without openworld PvP.

Outside of this... probably Pagos during its release days. It was painful.

this exactly pvp is terrible and will never be fun with the current design.

I... literally wrote that I like FF14's PvP design. It is fun for me when I do this. I just don't like the PvP itself as game activity no matter what MMO it is. I would not like it more in other games no matter its design. In fact, there were at least 10+ MMO I left because of their strong focus on Player vs Player battles.

I strongly agree here. I was never a fan of PvP, if anything, playing on a PvP server in WoW is what made me hate that environment, but XIV's is rather... interesting. It got me by surprise that the way classes play is set up differently that they would in PvE, and in a way it makes it more lightweight to rely more on movement and quick action instead of long pre-calculated rotations. I'm as casual as it gets so I won't even bother with rankings or job balance, but as far as I can tell, XIV PvP is decent.

That said, PvP as a genre is just not my cup of tea and would normally avoid it unless necessary.

ok the topic is least fav and why not least fav but I like the design...come on guys.

PvP just doesn't work. The only incentive for people to do it is glam. To each there own.

*shakes a hand* good to see a brother in mind (or a sister). My deep hatred for PvP started in Perfect World and Aion, though, not in WoW. There also was Aika 2, and I honestly still wonder how I even succeeded in playing this game for 2 years, considering that PvP there was pretty much the only available high end content, with almost dead PvE.

The only MMO with open world PvP I can give a credit of respect to is Blade and Soul, where you need to wear a special attire to participate in it, so if you don't want to - you just don't wear it, and no one can force you by killing you out of nowhere. I left the game sadly, but for reasons other than not being satisfied with it.

I usually enter FF14 PvP when there is something I want to get from the Wolfs Mark shop... as many other people do, I guess. And then there are also occasional "okay, I have the mood for this" situations when I visit it just for fun without aiming at any rewards, just for the sake of participating. Sometimes it happens once per month, sometimes once per week, sometimes once per patch. My most active period was Garo event farming.

I mean, you quoted me saying "exactly this", which technically would mean that we share our opinion about PvP in this game, when we obviously don't (it can be least favorite for both, but our reasons are different). Nothing wrong with you not liking how it's done (to each their own, how you just said), I just thought it had sence to clarify that we are of different opinions.
