PVP SERVER Request- PVP Community please support ( Please Read Yoshi )

[MonteCristo]

Read the Recent Interview Yoshi did that was posted on Blu gartr and I am 100% on board with the way he mentioned it working in this interview. I kindly ask for the pvp community to please support this idea and lets make it happen. He said if we have enough support this can come true. One open pvp server isn't too much to ask considering how much traction its gained in the last few months leading into the 3.2 WD update. I don't know how to tag the community guys that are big on PVP but please R/P and or support this idea!!! (ex. XIVpvp.com )

"Yoshida: The thought was once you hit level 20 and join a grand company, you could be targeted out in the world by members of the other GCs. We got quite a bit of demand for that from overseas. We'd have to disable attacks near an Aetheryte to prevent people from being teleport killed, and there'd be other special rules we'd have to implement so it wouldn't really be easy. We'd have to also do things like load test to see how it would work to have PvP possible in all the field areas, so I think we'd have to work on it little by little.

So you're still a bit hesitant about it. Would there be something where people who want PvP can gather to do the load test?

Yoshida: Yeah, I think we would make one world for that. If it seemed like it was getting too crowded, we could make additional PvP servers."

I also like the ideas that were purposed here. If anything testing a server like this could do nothing but aid and inform from a developers stand point in my opinion, keep it or not.

Granted, I didn’t read the link posted above so I’m not sure if Faded_Fox is taking liberties with the quote HOWEVER, I would support this. Yeah.

What I wouldn’t like to see is teleport attacks or attacks in major cities (limsa/uldah/gridarnia) – assuming the server world is set up as the current worlds servers- because let’s face it, there’s going to be a lot of newbies running around in those areas (and by newbies, I mean low level PVP’ers) that wouldn’t be able to fend off those with a higher PVP rating and more experience with PVP.

[Faded_Fox]

Yes my quote was from the link. I failed to mention because of limited character use.

Just add a pvp toggle. If people want to pvp, then can turn it on. If not, they can keep it off. So then the people who don't want pvp won't have to worry about being attacked out in the open.

The trouble with that is, as I've mentioned countless times in the past in regards to 1x1 PvP, that won't stop harassment from stupid players with chips on their shoulders hassling those which just want to PvE, as I've experienced this very thing on other MMOs with a 'PvP toggle' and 'PvP-PvE separate servers' - being inundated with 'duel requests' and then called every imaginable name and slur under the sun because I declined. As Yoshi is mindful of ways aspects of the game could be exploited or people harassed in this game, I really don't see this being implemented for this reason.

I guess I'm the lucky person that has never experienced this.

I like the idea but first lets fix some of the foundations of PvP. Some skills are outright broken, useless, or bugged and needs to be addressed before considering heavy investment into something that only a minority will go into.

ex. Holmgang's draw-in doesn't work properly as gentle slopes and opponent's running momentum can interfere with it. I've rarely had my opponent near enough for me to attack and this needs to be fixed.
