Straight from SE: Final Fantasy XI is their most profitable title. Being niche is definitely a bad thing. Agreed. It made them no money whatsoever.

Lol sarcasm at its finest

Lol yeah! If it made them no money, Why waist the energy to keep the servers up, make new content etc. XD

I think everyone can agree that we all want the USB's.

Yes we do, now to persuade SE to give us them

Less info about the press whining about PVP, more info on that benchmark!

They said they won't give it to us...

I see that less of a statement, more of a challenge to make them change their minds, they know us all too well

I'm surprise SE does not do it to make some money on the side. There a high demand for a lot of stuff base on FFXIV they should really think about selling some.

PvP was in FFXI. It was called Ballista. It didn't have a lot of success BUT it was PvP.

As for PvP in ARR, I don't really care if it is present or not. If the equipements are PvP-exclusive with PvP-only boosts on them and it doesn't interfere with the PvE and PvE content... I don't mind. Let the people wanting to kill each other do so while I clear Behemoth's Maze, the Crystal Tower and do some multi-party big event against amazing foes (something like Dynamis, Besieged or Campaigns in FFXI).
