I think a lot of people play FFXIV (like ffxi) with the intent and idea of adventuring with their friends and working together to achieve goals. Theres other games to play with PVP. Just like someone previously said, "noobs should know what they would be getting themselves into when joining an open pvp server." and you should know what you're getting into when subscribing to FFXIV. The idea of an open pvp server for ffxiv just sounds odd and out of place.
