Open World PvP

[SannaR]

PvP exists in FFXIV, thus the request is valid as far as I'm concerned. Again, it's a theme park MMO designed to attract a broad audience with different tastes. I don't do Ultimate, though it's there for people who do. Others refuse to touch crafting or gathering but once again it is there for the players who wish to indulge in that aspect of the game.

It wouldn't be a case of changing FFXIV's genre in any way. It'd just be another slice of content available to those who wish to actively seek it out and engage with it.

That aside, I don't think there's any need for personal attacks - especially over something as trivial as preferences in a video game.

This thread isn't against PVP in general though. This thread is about wanting pvp out in the wild. I doubt many are against pvp in general. What they are against is if someone had gone about ganking others while they were waiting in line back during Raubahn savage. Or if they were waiting outside of the wedding venue before the time for the wedding they wanted to attend started and they could go into the wedding instance.

Even then there are people who enjoy pvp and participate in it that don't enjoy it when it becomes clear that they're being singled out by a group or a player over and over again. You can't tell me that some of the fears people have expressed in this thread wouldn't happen even if they willingly joined a pvp server. Just because they might enjoy pvp once in awhile. There are many in this thread who have said they like camping someone's dead body or spawn points to the point where the person who keeps in getting dead would log out and have to hope when they log back in later that they can actually get something done.

Oh the one hand, the PVP in this game is utter dogshit and I hate it. On the other hand, I get to Order 66 Lalafels, tough choice.

I was gonna go with sociopath.

Great fun loving community by the way.

It’s not simply rebalancing. We have separate pvp skills from pve and the game isn’t set up to swap between those sets outside of specific, designated, pvp areas— similar to how swimming only works past a hidden loading screen to another area.

It’s all for nothing because even if they went through the Herculean task of making it possible, this community wouldn’t be able to handle it.

The most they seem able to handle is uwu sugoi catboi twinkle-eyes. Whether it is the story and even allowing for the possibility of character deaths, darker job concepts, content that a certain portion of this community disdains, such as open world PVP apparently, unfortunately the more vocal components of this game's community are very set in their ways and would probably see it turned into a visual novel if they could.

Never said a single word about the PVE community, which wasn't what I had in mind. Just gcbtw.

well then to be precise... which portion of the FFXIV community not in favour of open world pvp did you mean... exactly?

He is just trying to be edgy I think, like a teenager swearing in public and stuff
