I hope Yoshi-P will not listen to all those immature requests.

Hot red or not.. he makes a good point. Most of the people crying on these forums about jumping and world PVP are butt hurt anti-WoW idiots, who like to live up their own arses and will bash WoW no matter what. Heaven forbid people admit that wow has/had some amazing ideas.

Its not the Number 1 MMO for no reason. =)

why are u posting in a ffxiv forum if wow is so awesome your should be playing that no? O.o;

The majority of posts I've seen on here seem to be quite ridiculous and immature. I find I have better discussion with my LS members because there is not an environment of volitility that makes having a discussion unbearable. So my advice to SE, if they are actually reading these posts, is to ignore the posts that contain a large amount of hateful rhetoric and focus only on the respectable posts.

Pvp should not be Open worl PVP such as in WOW.. if PVP was kept to "Ballistas and Arenas" I would definitly embrace them. Ballistas like ff11 style abd Arena Battles such as 1v1 2v2 up to like 6v6. I would like to see some kind of PvP but not open area PvP.

I always enjoyed PvP, I think it could be implemented if done right, for example you could do it like the PvP system in Star Wars Galaxies, where the player must first had to side with a faction, then consent to active duty, where your character became fair game to NPCs of the rival faction, (PvE basically) then while active, consent to join the Special Forces, which made you fair game to all players of opposing faction. (PvP) For FFXIV, I don't see this happening, but Ul'Dah has a colosium, at this time you can only enter it for PvE, and only for certain quests, but you could open it to PvP, and even have other players watch in the rafters, whether it be for one-on-one duels, or even team duels.

There is a lot of debate about adding certain features to the game such as Jumping and PVP.

I will take those 2 for now as they are the most popular but it can be applied to other topics.

For those against Jumping, I respect your opinion and all but so far i have not seen a single reasonable argument not to add Jump to the game. The crazy thing is that in a post from Yoshi-P on the japanese forums he said he saw that people mostly are for adding a jump option but don't want a WOW style spamming and that he will take that into consideration when implementing it.

What i have against this approach is that i don't see how "I don't want WOW jumping monkeys running around Eorzea..." is a valuable argument. It's like making a petition to force SE to remove emote because people are abusing it. And no Jumping does not break immersion cuz if it does, a dozen other things already in the game have the potential of doing the same so let's all remove it right?

Is it really normal or the mature thing to do to completely dismiss a feature because few people are abusing it? The same thing could be said about a billion other things and i'm sorry but to me it makes no sense.

PVP is another example. Open world PVP will never happen and that is because too many people are against PK. Why? Because a few morons camped your ass and killed you over and over in WOW? I mean for me personally... when something like that happened i just called for backup and it was fun to give these people a taste of their own medecine and see them run away. Yes Yes i know, FF is a PVE game mainly but i don't think that most of you realize how well done PVP can be really fun and honestly make us interact with one another even more.

To those against open world PVP i propose this....

Cities and the areas around are neutral grounds. No PVP can take place there unless it is friendly duels initiated by both players/parties. Other areas could be contested territories and this is were open PVP and PK can take place... but wait! for those who don't like that, SE can add a on/off PVP flag option. Turning on the option means you are open to PVP and can be attacked by players from opposing..."companies?" turning it off means you are neutral and do not want to take part in that aspect of PVP.(Nobody can attack you)

Wouldn't this please those who are against it? I mean with that system you can't give me the argument of "i don't want to be attacked while farming" Those who wish for open world PVP will be happy too. There is absolutely no negative impact for those against open world PVP so if you disagree with me please give me a valuable argument.. same goes for jumping.

So tell me then, what benefits would "jumping" bring? Because apparently, NOT having it is upsetting to you and the people who are in favor of a "jump" command.

I don't understand why people constantly talk about Open-world PVP in this game, whether it be in favor of or strongly against. It doesn't seem like a possibility as it doesn't even fit in the story... not even in most Final Fantasies. MMOs along the lines of Rift and WoW don't throw it in there for the sake of it; they have warring factions. FFXIV is just full of.... people. The Nations seem to have no differentiation, just places to go. No one is feuding, no one has an agenda.

They will not make it open world PVP.. if they had any plans of that the servers would of went online like that. They would never force people to be on a open world pvp server. Whoever wants jump can jump off a cliff. The only people who want open world PVP is Americans, most likely with a military backround. LOL :P Cause thats what they do! /hurrah

[Grit]

Yoshi-P already said there will not be open world PvP.

He also said that PvP is pretty low on their priority list for features to add at the current time. But they will have something for us later.

So.. if you want to discuss PvP, "open world" shouldn't even be mentioned at this point in time. It's not going to happen.

Oh yeah.. I said all of this like twenty pages ago and people are STILL talking about it.

Personally I can care less about a jump feature but I would go with the majority tho i've never seen any jump features in a FF other then DRG ability :P hehe. As for PvP i'm down for that for people who enjoy tho again I don't personally. Definetly keep it to an arena or maybe even impliment a whole area dedicated to pvp where players can one on one or even have massive pvp fights. Also have a PvE arena like they did in WG for FFXI where you could fight monsters for rewards n' what not that you cannot attain by normals means. Kudos.
