Open World PvP

[Artemiz]

I think it's pretty strange for some players to accuse people of supporting 'bullying' because they happen to like PvP. Especially when there's many PvP enthusiasts who adhere to a sense of good sportsmanship.

I'm inclined to think that this is just yet another case of a vocal portion of the FFXIV community seeking to engage in a type of gatekeeping that disallows growth and varied content from manifesting because they cannot handle the simple fact that other people might want to see and enjoy something different to themselves.

I'm also not at all surprised that there's players in this game who are more concerned by the idea of PvP than abhorrent, inappropriate and highly illegal acts of ERP, though!

I didn't say everyone who likes PvP are bullies, so please don't strawman me. Some of the comments in this thread are clearly bullies chomping at the bit to get to people they don't like though.

The ERP is just another strawman, I didn't support that either, nor do I engage in it. I didn't make a value judgment on it in any way. I just think it would be hilarious if Elliot Ness and co stroll into Limsa to purge it only to get wrecked.

Clearly you just don't want to engage with me in a rousing bout of fisticuffs outside Ul'dah's city lines.

Hamon Holyfist would be disappointed in you.

Touche!

Sounds pretty tough guy to me.

You should probably get your ears syringed then.

Maybe. The part most people that don’t roll on pvp cannot comprehend is people that like open world pvp *enjoy* getting ganked. That tiny bit of additional danger can make everything more fun.

That and crashing a wedding takes on an entirely different meaning.

I must admit I don't play MMO's for PvP, I play PvP games for PvP. In those games I've never ever met anyone who liked getting "ganged" or jumped on though. I completely disagree it would make the game more exciting, I think it would make the game more frustrating.
