IDEA: PVP FATE's

[WellFooled]

I believe it's not only okay, but should actually be encouraged for a game to find its own identity. FFXIV is just starting to do that, and I expect it to expand on that identity in Heavensward. Just because WoW or Rift or Aion or whatever has open world pvp doesn't mean every game has to have it.

It's a PvE game. You knew what you were signing up for.

You say that FFXIV should seek its own identity, but PvP is a part of that identity as much as anything. Your argument can be applied to anything, "Just because WoW has crafting doesn't mean FFXIV should. It should seek its own identity." The only reason you apply this logic to PvP is that you don't personally enjoy it, but that doesn't mean that it shouldn't be in the game or that it isn't a part of what makes FFXIV great.

Arena PvP and zone PvP, but not open world PvP

open world PvP in ARR was already history before 1.23 ended and ARR alpha started. It was also already history since they announced 2.0 in 2011 with arena PvP, Frontline, but no open-world PvP and Yoshida also said that open-world PvP is not on the plan.

I'm all for and am always all for anything pvp that doesn't negatively effect the pve players. I love pvp, always have always will, but I understand many many people do not.

My response is almost the exact same in all these threads. However, if I had it my way open world pvp would be what I would prefer.

The problem with this is that they'd have to re-develop the fate system. As it currently stands, people who have not been sync'd to the FATE, will be able to be attacked by people who have sync'd. (Much like boss FATEs that are level 45 or so that require sync'ing to level 49.)

I'm sure bots will also exploit it to kill random people who are outside the fates by using teleport exploits.

I just hate PVP altogether, so I'm just going to say I don't support PVP FATEs.
