Will you bother to PVP?

They're reworking a lot of the stuff in the game for pvp, like the way they changed TP for example to be at 3000 at the start of a battle. It makes me wonder how much other consideration will be put into pvp when it comes to loot and stuff, and I wonder if it's really worth all the effort.

This is why I hate PvP in MMOs, the devs usually screw up PvE in favor of it.

Except, you know, this is where classes can come into play. Since classes have no real use they may be able to work them into PvP, without destroying PvE.

I will PvP with friends and guild mates mostly.

I will always support others right to do things they see as fun. That's what FFXIV is all about; having multiple facets, such as: camping, crafting, gathering, PVP, questing....etc. It's us as a community that need to get together and support what our fellow players enjoy about the game.


To answer OP's question. I will not be participating in PVP. Funny thing though, in FFXI I actually one "Battle Royale" on our server lol.

OMG yes PvP will be the best thing to come for me IF they do it right.

In order to do that, they'd need to make PVP a primary focus, and not just an side distraction. The current story doesn't lend itself to faction-based pvp or open-world pvp. They'd need those two things to "Do it right", and I don't see that happening.

They have the 3 grand companies going at each other for pvp <.<

They would not need to do anything like that. It doesn't have to have anything to do with opposing factions or story to develop fun gameplay. They need only come up with a device of some sort that is entertaining. Despite that, GCs set a perfect platform for competition under the guise of "Combat Training". I'm not talking about open world PvP I'm talking about arena style pvp which requires little else than class balancing. Diorama was fun, balista not so much. And in DAG people never went for rooks it was just straight PvP.
