This game needs an Open World PvP Server

Imagine hunts on an open PvP server.

I voted yes but imho it should just be the frontline maps:
- accessibile only by ferries in certain maps
- require lvl 60 to enter
- no quest or monsters
- with safe zones and atherytes
- make people earn small amounts of wolf marks upon defeating other players

This way if someone is bored has something to do "to kill some time" and for those who don't like the idea of pvp in general can just pretend it doesn't exist because they'll have no business there =)

It shouldn't be a PvP server, just apply it to all servers.

Maybe exclude the original three zones of Eorzea to protect the new players.

Then everyone who doesn't pvp would get mad and unsub because they'd feel forced into it. SE wouldn't do that.

Why would you enjoy ruining another players game? Says a lot about what kind of a person you are. PvP is just an e-peen fapping contest.

I understand it fine, my comment that you quoted was in response to someone saying make the whole game open world pvp on every server.

Aka that^

There are definitely a goodly number of pvp players playing FFXIV. I think you may be overestimating the interest in how many of them want an entire open world server.

What about a diadem like free-for-all zone that pulled from your data center so you would have a larger base of players?

The PvP player base isn't small, the rewards and GC limitations is what kills it, the Feast was a nice addition, but the rewards aren't appealing enough, people would get their minion and/or mount and quit, which is what happened.

If you however pointed out the amount of casual PvP and serious ones, then yes, serious players aren't that much, but they're not 50 either, look at the Feast rankings and you'll have an idea.

Also, if there was to be a PvP Server, there would be PvP Balance changes, which is the main issue i see here, in the state PvP is atm, Warrior would be by far the best class to roam and kill others.

Also, with it would come rewards, such as titles, glamours, mounts, minions, etc. That alone would attract people, sadly it would also attract the wrong crowds, such as bad players which would come to the forums complain that X class is OP etc.

For the people saying this game isn't meant for PvP they have no idea what they are saying, and the proof is how Seal Rock, Feast used to be (not anymore because in this game once new content is released it kills previous ones) and now Shatter is, a success, just isn't more because of GC restrictions they insist on tying to PvP.

Same for those saying it doesn't fit the FF universe, there was Dissidia.

Something about this felt a little comical. It's true that pvp now days is taken out of hand a great deal. But PvP in its true form is just competition between players in an online format. It's healthy, fun, and can be a great stress reliever if you don't allow unfortunate outcomes get to you.
