Really enjoying new PvP

[MatthiasS]

So, I'm REALLY liking the new PvP mode. Dynamic, and engaging, as well as an interesting map. (Now if only people could master the phrase "Fall back, stop feeding them kills, lol")

I REALLY hope we see more love for PvP in the future. Perhaps more maps, varied objectives, and modes without GC restrictions. Even if they argue "lore" for battles in the flats, its 10 lines of dialog to say "The (Blah) is hosting a contest of arms! Magic will ensure no one dies. Sign up here!"

There are so many things they could do. Free for all in an instanced Ul'Dah or Gold Saucer. Capture the flag with two "Castrums" set up opposing sides. A mode in which A and S ranks spawn on a map, and teams get points for killing each other, or damaging the monsters, but the monsters also fight back. Duels in the gladiatorial arena!

Those are just off the top of my head. I know PvP isn't a "focus" for ARR, but that doesn't mean it can't be made even better then it is now. I might even argue that since it isn't a focus, the developers could take greater risks without damaging the core game.

(Maybe if we all like and post in this thread, and convince them we like PvP, we'll get more PvP)

Discuss!
