I love PvP and quite honestly, maybe because I grew up with it and am fanboying about, but nothing beat Ballista in FFXI for me. The new king of the hill style I've seen in many PvPs lately were never a great aspect and always seemed shallow. Granted Ballista had it's fault but as a game I personally always found it a blast, no matter how many times it was done.

I was curious on what the community thought of this. I'm surprised by the lack of detail of a PvP mode as detailed, if not more, then Ballista at this day and age...considering how old FFXI is. Is it because it was just that bad and I have this minority taste in such? All I know is although the newest PvP mode is by far an improvement to the others...its still bleh.

Also another thing I loved about Ballista is it was within the server. Granted I love this new system of going cross servers for giant battles, but there should be an option for open world PvP sign ups where small teams on the same server can compete.

Sorry if its another rant, I was very curious on what the rest of the community thought of this, as I've thought of this subject every time I've qued for PvP in this game.
