Player VS Player. It's this game's own balanced version of PVP.

I positively cannot stand people like the OP. I've been a huge PvP advocate going all the way back to Ultima Online and I'm here to tell you that you don't need to lose anything to make it PvP.

I love open PK hardcore games as well but I respect that the FF franchise may not be the best medium for that type of combat. It's a lot of fun managing an effective server shutdown or boss lockout. Been there, done that and honestly - I sort of like kicking back in FF.

I look forward to good, balanced PvP in Wolves Den. Players always make more surprising and cunning opponents. That's what PvP is all about. Hopefully, Yoshi and team put the proper incentives in place to have the kind of constantly evolving challenge that makes it so fun.

The whole "Fresh Meat" naming system is utterly awful. If anything concerns me about the general ethos of PvP in FFXIV - it's that.

Im a big fan of choice, Not a huge pvp'er but I have found it very fun a times, but only in open world, GW2 pvp to me was stupid.
Id like to see player run tourneys, and Id like for some pvp zone, not an instance at some point, with possible loot, a lot can be done not to make it a gankers paradise, while allowing people to have some pvp fun, Options are always nice, maybe a function that allows FC's to go to war or feud, and then those players in their respective FCs are flagged to pvp each other for a week, I'd like to see it all, Eq2 PVP was realm vs realm and I had a LOT of fun going over to Freeport and sneaking up on guys, well done pvp makes it so you don't get bored, something that allows players to fight each other, and some method of rewards would be good, I really do like the war idea, or maybe a permanent zone that your FC gets so much gil or items for holding for so long, if all they offer is instanced pvp I most likely wont do much of it.

oh give me a break... The primary appeal of the concept of player vs player, which is battling against unpredictable opponents who behave differently from normal enemies, is still there. You don't need names or oddball team comps to have pvp and it will still be fun to play if you're into that sort of thing.

So yes, there will be pvp in the game. Whether you *like* it or not is up to you but it most certainly will exist.

I do not believe that PVP will work in this game. There should rather be no PVP than broken PVP. =(
Yes, I play from Europe and I have 100 - 110 MS when pinging to FFXIV servers but this game still feels 10 times more unresponsive than other games.. And I used to play L2 with 300ms lol.

You aren't alone. Everyone is at to 300ms.

Lol, I'm pretty sure that Wolves' Den counts as PvP. I mean it's Players...fighting...yep, you guessed it - other Players.

Actually I'm quite looking forward to it. I hear it's going to have 30 Ranks to go up in, and also special abilities that are purchased with PvP Points.

Now the only question is whether or not it'll have a tournament system and/or seasons.

I think that no one bought this game for PVP but if they are going to add PVP they should do it properly. You cant argument that we have no right to criticise it because this is PVE game. This game has serious problems which will probably ruin PVP? Fine, dont add it to game then.

In my opinion No PVP >>> Poorly working PVP, but yeah, maybe they will surprise me and in Wolves Den there will be no animation, delay etc. issues.

Personally speaking, any game that works on a gear treadmill absolutely must have PvP. Otherwise, what's the gear used for? Making all of the content you already cleared easier?
