Why is PVP not fun?

[Waaltar]

PVP would be greatly improved if it would allow us to pvp other players in the open world that are around your level kind of similar to WoW instead of locking us out into an instanced area with few abilities we can use. Would be neat if SE maybe introduced a feature in the future where we either fight for Hydalyn (The Light) or Zodiark (The Darkness) similar to how WoW has "The Horde" and "The Alliance."

Have you ever done anything like that in other games? I'm guessing no. Open world PVP is usually really terrible. It was also the original PVP, not in this game, but in games like it going back ~15-20 years. There is a whole long and terrible history of devs chasing the dream of open world PVP and the games it destroyed. Eventually, people came up with instanced PVP which is much better. Then they came up with MOBAs which are some of the most played multi-player games on the internet.
