Open World PvP

[Arillyn]

Open world pvp is also a goldmine for RPers, and gives them narrative possibilities beyond the illegal rp they engage in currently.

People who RP and do PVP as RP in the open world don't need this LOL. RPers do this in a number of ways, through chat, random rolls, and other things. They quite often have very detailed rules and such.

As a role-player myself, it's worth noting that it differs significantly in terms of style. It wasn't unusual for disputes to be resolved through PvP and duels back in WoW between role-players on the European servers. In fact, I took part in a lot of narrative driven community made RP PVP events on Argent Dawn EU.

Give players tools to work with in an MMO and they'll make something out of it.

I don't bother with RP in FFXIV for various reasons - not in the least because most of the legitimate role-players have been discouraged by illegal role-play.

And I don't disagree with you there. But this entire thread has nothing to do with giving RPers tools. It has to do with ganking people the OP doesn't like.
