    Supposing SE decides to implement this based off one post in general, lets look at a hypothetical timeline based on what I have seen and experienced in other mmo's (who have done it from the ground up, not as an afterthought years into the game)

    1. SE opens pvp labeled worlds for open world pvp
    2. initial rush of transfers/new users thinking "PVP!"
    3. pvp happens, with all the good and bad aspects of it
    4. people either transfer off or create new characters on regular worlds so they can reasonably progress without protection
    5. people start complaining that pvp gets no love and there should be more incentives to pvp
    6. push to unlock open world pvp on regular worlds because there arent enough players on pvp worlds and its no fun
    7. name calling starts because people not that interested in the pvp lifestyle are "ruining the game"
    8. SE looks for ways to merge the pvp worlds so the few people on each have more opponents
    or, 8A. SE closes the pvp worlds as a failed experiment
    9. people wanting pvp start over again, asking for a "better" version of pvp and this time they are SURE it will attract more people if its better

    not to mention, if they DID do this, there would have to be city safe zone, so no wandering into Limsa to kill people since the city states frown on wanton murder, and why should SE want the WoL wantonly butchering people out in the open world in the first place with zero consequences? it is difficult to see this concept flying even if they noticed this thread and gave it a read.
