Open World PvP

They can’t ignore us forever. Hoping for a AAA MMO PvP experience. The only competitor that is AAA MMO is WoW, both are subscription-based but WoW actually releases a lot of PvP content in each expansion. They even provide PvP players a sense of progression, something you can only find in PvE in FFXIV.

Its possible. The only thing more neglected than PvP is GC ranking and that's pretty close. They add PvP battle grounds and people do them til that they get the reward then no more. PvP is like a hidden feature, besides the Garo event, all you get is the season start and end announcement, no campaigns, no events. All they really have to do is put the rewards somewhere else and you could cull a lot of the backlash.

Want to know what also gets less attention and love from the devs? Chocobo racing. It used to be attended to like the weddings. Where only one person was assigned to it. The Weddings got some help meanwhile the one guy on chocobo racing got moved off to a battle team section.

I know which between pvp and racing has gotten more attention from the dev team and its not the one centered around birbs. Still wouldn't want a non opt in pvp mode. Also think people should wait and see what the new mode they're going to be putting in is and how it works before asking for something more or different. As you've said if you give a big enough carrot people who normally don't pvp will pvp just for the rewards. Heck people will pvp as a means to help in leveling.
