I think the more pressing question to ask would be: Why didn't you do your research before buying a 'kid's game'? FFXIV isn't a game in development/early access, it's been fleshed out years ago and they're not suddenly going to throw everything out the window and re-design a PvE-oriented game into a PvP-fest. Overworld PvP simply isn't an option given the heavy cutscene focus the game has.

There's a plethora of PvP focused games out there, many of which in various states of failure and early deaths, while FFXIV and its PvE oriented content is thriving. I think it'll do just fine without catering to the PvP crowd.
