When all said and done?

When this station is fully operational and complete... will reps and devs be willing to have a challenge the players to PvP?

Or maybe design a Yoshi-P boss?

Just thought it would be an interesting idea to toss out there.

I'd very much like to fight a rep/dev, even though it might be a futile fight since your level 1 gear will be better than anything I wear :O

/jealous I will be!

There has been many post about PvP, this thread is gonna go something like this:

Yes PvP
No PvP
Open World PvP sux
PvP don't mean open world
FFXIV should open up to new things
FFXI PvP was fun and didn't impact the other aspect of game
FFXI PvP was boring because there was no incentive to do them
and After 30 or so pages it would slowly die down

-

Devs alrdy said they not gonna go Open world PvP, and if PvP were to be implemented it would be arena or collisieum.

Edit: sorry i seem to jump the gun, im not sure if we will be able to fight GMs lol, that would fun.

True, but this isn't for regular pvp battle. This is us against the reps or dev teams.

[Ferth]

+1 for the deathstar reference.

Oh god not "Arenas".......

Make a boss called yoshi p or that other japanese nickname he just got, since i can't remember it i won't butcher it. Then make him spawn minions at intervals and those minions will be named after reps at first, and then devs. Hardest boss in the game. . .

I would love some weekly dev PvP matches! Like a mid level and high level match, happening each Saturday at a set time. (maybe two diff set times to appease all time zones somewhat equally)

So anyone r25-30 and r45-50 that is online will get a challenge sent to them at that set time. They can accept or just let it hang and ignore it. Then some people are randomly chosen and you are teleported to some remote location to get the fight on!

Would also be something fun for the devs and comm reps to do that are forced to work the occasional weekend /comfort

Of course they will be represented in monster form as their forum avatars. And if someone wins, they get a big congratulations on the lodestone, and everyone logged in at that time will get cake or something

just brainstorming..

[Jinrya-Geki]

Like a title on lodestone or maybe a hat in game of the rep/dev defeated?

Yeah, if the devs and especially the producer want to be closer to the community this is a fine way to do so!

I'd figure once a year would be a good period to do this. Maybe have a community wide pvp championship (ballista royale) and the winner team gets to fight the upper management. Of course the match would be livestreamed, with hilarious JP commentary.

It's a good way to expand the different dimensions of an MMO beyond the current traditions. Maybe I sound a bit too idealistic but I'd like to see this, among other events.
