This game needs an Open World PvP Server

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.

The size comparison of the mapping in FF14 and the mapping in WoW is a little too vast. WoW is built specifically for both PvE and PvP, while FF14 is built specifically for PvE, with PvP being put to the side with its own series of modes. If you were to enable a PvP server, then you can forget about making any progress, as the areas are far too small to have anyone not resort to camping entrance points (intentionally or not), as any other part of the map is sprinkled with monsters. The fun is taken out of it, when you feel like you're being spoon fed handicapped situations, no matter where you engage a player from.

You could argue the exception of Heavensward. But who would make a PvP server, just specifically for a portion of what the game has to offer?

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.

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.

PvP isn't a major focus in this game. We don't even have an official server for role-play despite the large amount of role-players flocking to FFXIV.

open world pvp is lame because it always turns into a griefing party , they have zones dedicated for that

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^

PvP server or no classes would be changed to suit open world pvp. I don't enjoy PvE nerfs as a side effect to angry pvpers complaining in droves about being underpowered.

I don't object to the creation of an open world PVP server for those that enjoy it in principle. However, I don't see it as being practical for XIV.
The PVP community strikes me as being on the small side. How many people in XIV love PVP enough to transfer their character to a new server? Or start a new character completely from scratch?

It's possible that there is a sizable group of players that dedicated to PVP in XIV, but given the low level of support this idea gets on the forums I doubt it's enough to keep a new server active.
