Open World PvP

[van_arn]

yeah, let's give max level assh*les the oportunity to keep killing low level sprouts over and over outside safe areas. Because that's fun, right?

It is actually

In addendum, it would be a great way to vent frustrations instead of the passive aggressive toxicity we have now.

Greetings fellow forum posters. I post this thread today in order to promote and spur discussion on open world pvp in 14. I know this might be a bit of a hot take around these parts, but I believe it would improve the game immensely. Primarily in the social grouping aspect as it would encourage partying when questing more due to safety in numbers. Furthermore, it could be used as a way to settle disputes between players. In short, might would make right. It would also be a good way for players that have issues with certain pfs a way to take care of those without swamping an overworked GM with reports. Thoughts?

Absolutely not unless it was limited to specific worlds. World PvP in WoW made even normal worlds a mess. No way do I want to experience it here.

Seriously? From all the arguments its the "Lore Card" youre playing?

You don't need to have a legit reason to resolve into banditry and thievery, and sometimes, people just want to be the bad guy for a change. There is no Fantasy setting that doesn't have any banditry happening at some point and Final Fantasy is no exception to that, there is plenty of bandits and cutthroats roaming Eorzea in every expansion, so why cant we join in on the fun?

You don't have that luxury. You're the Warrior of Light. The moment the WoL goes rogue, he/she is dead because that sort of power can't be left unchecked.

I would love nothing more than to hunt crafter mains recreationally.

Right? Plus it lets rpers take their game to another level instead of all that illegal rp they indulge in.

Imagine the fire and fury if you could wreck a hunt train.

PvP is something that a decent chunk of players enjoy and pursue. I like it quite a bit myself and wish it received more focus, not less.

If they cannot manage instanced PvP well, then they shouldn't bother with at all.

Always the same, folks trying to push a PvP element into a primary PvE/Co-Op game because "there are players for it". Happened to Warframe and it was a huge mess.

I'd say go play League or APEX for that.

Thanks but... no. There a plenty of PVP MMO, we know how it ends. The best way to lose a lot of players.

To be honest it sounds great.

It’s certainly not an option because of the delicate constitution of our community. If people get anxious over tanking on a 4 button tank they certainly wouldn’t be able to handle the possibility they’d get ganked turning in the two rabbit butts that essential story quest required them to gather.

I don’t think additional pvp servers would even fix the problem; the number of harassment tickets generated from otherwise mundane pvp situations would skyrocket.

Oh. Come to think of it, we already have pvp. Players just try to fight over getting each other banned via ticket instead of getting each other to quit by a perfect gank.
