Open World PvP

[Fyrebrand]

I think it's pretty strange for some players to accuse people of supporting 'bullying' because they happen to like PvP.

This thread was doomed from the beginning due to the way OP introduced the topic in the most flagrantly sus way possible. It doesn't seem like their true goal is to promote dynamic and healthy competition, or inject the open world experience with new activity. What they want is a method to deal with certain players who they don't like, by means of antagonism, forceful coercion, and generally escalating hostilities between individuals. In a sense, it's not even about PvP -- that's simply a means to an end. This is about OP's personal problems and inability to cope with some party finder listings they find repugnant.

it could be used as a way to settle disputes between players. In short, might would make right. It would also be a good way for players that have issues with certain pfs a way to take care of those without swamping an overworked GM with reports.

I mean, why would the topic of PF listings even be mentioned, with regards to Open World PvP? Seems strange to me, and painfully obvious that OP wants a way to subvert or circumvent the normal GM reporting process and fantasize about some kind of mob rule or vigilante justice.

To clarify, I would make sprouts excluded from the system (unless they wanted to opt in). This would be for at cap players and restricted from cities, but not housing districts.

Seems nice to mention that sprouts are protected unless they elect to opt in, but just saying that implies that PvP would be mandatory for the rest of us. Also: restricting PvP in cities but NOT housing districts?? Why should there be PvP in housing districts? Is it because that's where the RP that OP doesn't like happens? Hmm, who can say?

it would improve player relations immensely and really build a sense of community or risk being a target because of your actions.

I can practically see OP's salivations seeping through my monitor, as they dream about stalking some random RP-er and calling out to their FC gang to go swarm them as soon as they exit Limsa Lominsa.

Hey, it certainly makes people more polite with fear of reprisal from being discourteous.

"More polite." Right. I'm sure we can all trust OP to decide what is polite and what is deserving of "reprisal" or painting someone as a public "target."

then we can finally have a server free of pf filth.

There's that Party Finder beef, again. Is this really why we need mandatory, open-world PvP in this game? Should that be the reason Yoshi-P and the team take this idea seriously?

You don't send a request, you just locate them and make playing the game pain until they stop with their pf nonsense.

AGAIN, with the PF obsession. And OP is literally saying they want to "make playing the game a pain" for others. Do we really still find it strange for some players to accuse people of supporting bullying in this thread anymore? Honestly?

In addendum, it would be a great way to vent frustrations instead of the passive aggressive toxicity we have now.

Yup, vent your personal frustrations by going around harassing people trying to play Final Fantasy. This topic is so High Quality, I'll get double the xp for turning it in.

it lets rpers take their game to another level instead of all that illegal rp they indulge in.

My gosh, it never ends with this, does it!?

I've found the more you try and constrict something the more "toxic" it becomes.

What a great reason to go around trying to constrict how other people get to enjoy the game through literal, inescapable in-game violence and "fear of reprisal" if they do or say things OP doesn't agree with! Do we still believe this is even about PvP anymore?

Edit: OMG, they posted about the RP players even while I was writing this reply!!!
