DEV REQUEST:DUEL/SPAR system

[Nalien]

It is kind of sad that people are against open world content, just because it's PvP related...

The open world in this game, for the most part, is dead. Some of the absurd reasoning against this are laughable at best... I mean really... PvPers dueling where PvEers can also PvE will result in too much noise pollution and lag! Imagine S Ranks everywhere all the time! But PvP is totally unpopular you guys!

Yes, I have. The queues got boring, so I stopped. Even the roulette takes forever, which makes no sense.

It makes perfect sense, you even just displayed why.

"The queues got boring, so I stopped."

That. Is. The. Issue. Queues take a long time because people don't queue because queues take a long time. Negative feedback. If, as I've suggested, there was a schedule to things, there would be periods in the day where interest peaks and queue times drop as a result. Those of us who want to PvP queue up then and get in quicker. Issues like the Grand Company restriction might still cause long queue times, of course, but the fact that we actually can get into PvP with a lot of waiting is evidence enough that there are enough people around interested...

Give me a GOOD, a REAL GOOD reason why PVP should be allowed outside Wolves Den. I have yet to see one other than "flavor."
Why should SE expend the effort to allow duels all over the world when they can just add it to Wolves Den?

Player convenience.

I honestly laughed out loud when you suggested the opposite. It would be impractical for us to find a designated location? How is that not true if we only have the one location? If there are more locations, I am more likely to be able to just walk to one, rather than teleporting to Wolves Den Pier or queue up and wait an age for the fight to start. Arena diversity as well. Makes things somewhat more interesting than fighting in the exact same space every single time. Why should we have to travel to Wolves Den Pier, or form a party and queue up, when we could just duel where we are, having to take a few steps outside of town at most?

Let me ask you another question though; If PvP is oh so unpopular like you insist, why are you against a handful of us dueling where ever? There aren't enough of us to create lag, certainly not if we're spread out. Noise pollution would be no different than someone doing a Levequest or Treasure Map... What's your issue? You honestly just seem to have some irrational fear of duels going on.

Flavour actually is a fairly big deal as well, I think. This games open world seems so dead most of the time, everything is locked away in an instance. Seeing more people actually making use of the zones would be nice. I would much rather see people openly PvPing and discussing PvP, than locking it away in an instance. I would much rather allow people to watch me dueling so that others might learn something by observing. I would much rather be able to watch other dueling so that I might learn something as well.

I've been gathering while an S Rank is being fought in the same area. Done Leves, FATEs and Treasure Maps nearby to an S Rank as well.

Guess I should be reported for harassment for not contributing to an S Rank but still lagging up the zone?

Damn dude. Fighting in the same area as an S rank hunt? You monster!

Yeah, it's unforgivable that I have little interest in participating in a mindless zergfest

Me and all the new players that happen to be leveling in the area when an S Rank spawns should get perma bans.

put a perma bans for all those riding their chocobos just passing by and soo happens S-rank spawns on top of them and since they had no intentions for doing the S-rank so they ran forcing s-rank to reset, he/she should be perma banned.

Thats funny, i remember a thread here in the forums. the OP said someone was filing a harassment against him for not contributing in Lupis FATE when the OP was just minding his own busness fishing.
