PVP design and implementation has brought much shame to FFXIV

Go figure...people focusing on PvE in a PvE oriented game.

A very small percentage of the players (around 10%) responded to a poll before the redesign of the game happened saying they really wanted PvP. Are you surprised that there aren't many people participating?

There are other games whose main focus is PvP. If that's what you're after in a game you'd probably be better served checking one of those out. FF games will be about their story and PvE encounters first and foremost.

This sounds like a HORRIBLE excuse to release a poor product. So 10% of our consumer base is interested so let's give them a &%$#ed product?

Smh at that reasoning.

And I disagree. There is no reason at all pvp couldn't be spectacular in this game. Best of all time? No, but it has a lot of potential.

They actually expected around 15% participation and it seems like they've gotten at least that much.

The current PvP is not bringing "shame" to the game. Yes, it has some easily noticed issues, but it's still fun to play on the whole. I have a couple of linkshells for PvP and I can form a party with people from them at any time. It's still very much alive and well.
