PVP Coliseum Content

[Fieros]

Aggreed. PvP and PvM is begging to be implemented through the coliseum in Ul'dah.

The quest requiring you to battle there lead me to believe it was a way to earn gil when I was still new to the game. I was definately disappointed to find out that the coliseum is not functional. Even players not wishing to participate in PvP can enjoy the action from the stands if they desire. A few thoughts:

PvP
*Once the match is set, spectators have 5 minutes to pay admission and get transported to the instance. Everyone is moved back to lobby following the battle.
*Charge admission for spectators (per fight)
*Charge an entrance fee for the participants (various stakes- 10,000gil/ 25,000gil/ 100,000gil)
*Various brackets to participate (1v1/ 2v2/ 5v5)
*Winner takes all (minus 20% going to the coliseum)

PvM
*Once the match is set, spectators have 5 minutes to pay admission and get transported to the instance. Everyone is moved back to lobby following the battle.
*Charge admission for spectators (per fight)
*Charge an entrance fee for the participants (various stakes increase the difficulty of monsters- 10,000gil/ 25,000gil/ 100,000gil)
*Various brackets to participate (1/2/5players vs. 1 wave of monsters[1 round], 1/2/5players vs. 3 waves of monsters[3 rounds back-to-back], 1/2/5players vs. 5 waves of monsters[2 rounds, 2waves then 3waves])
*Winner takes all (minus 50% going to the coliseum, to cover cost of capturing the monsters)
*Winning a match earns Coliseum Marks
*Losing match will cost Coliseum Marks
*(Someone else can find a use for Coliseum Marks)
*No SP, experience, or loot given from monsters- Coliseum is meant for entertainment and challenge

This is similar to what I am thinking. I approve!

I feel the same way! This would be the best thing to happen to FFXIV besides a PS3 release.

Maybe you should edit the OP back to what it originally was. Maybe people have some good suggestions that differ from those included?
