My issues with PvP

[Ama_Hamada]

You keep telling me that this PvP is fun, but haven't actually given me any evidence as to why.

The fact that SE had to get everyone dragging their feet into it with this Garo event proves otherwise. I believe that if a PvP truly is fun, you wouldn't have to use events like the Garoevent to get people to even consider trying it. One of my favorite games of all time was TF2. That game never offered rewards for regular play besides a drop system nobody cared about, but I can say I've logged over 1000 hours into it. There are plenty of other examples out there as well.

The skill gap isn't the cause of the issue, it's only a symptom of the problem. If you get more people to play, you'll have all sorts of skill levels playing.

People do not play it because it is poorly deigned. I actually do enjoy PvP in ffxiv, even on the weakest job for it. Just because I enjoy it though does not mean I can't call it out for what it is. We need more PvP maps, we need more care for balance issues, healing amounts, healing abilities damage taken issues and some jobs having too much CC (PLD) (Why is there a job in pvp with a stun that last so long and spammable????) while others have none (SCH). Address bust and constant damage, a lot needs to be done.
