I know this is XIV, so barebone or haphazard implementation of features is kind of our thing, but opt-in channels are hardly some novel idea, nor one easily forgiven about.

I don't personally care either way, as I don't typically care for World PvP. But that's also why I've simply taken the option to opt out, consistently provided in any MMO remotely similar to XIV.
To be fair, the original comment was asking for open-world PvP in order to deal with early-pullers in hunts. This would imply, at least to me, they weren't thinking of an opt-in system where those early pullers could simply choose not to participate in PvP and still get to do their thing.

/shrug.
