Open World PVP

[UseYour]

considering how trash and unbalanced our current pvp is, i dont understand the fear lol. dude, its ff14. you play this game for cutscenes, not the gameplay. this is the stardew valley of MMORPGs.

they need to make it like New World Aeternum where our guild buffs will come from territory we control, and there is certain zones with good loot and gear progression where pvp is full loot on death. the market boards are ran by bots anyways and gil means nothing in this game its just for glams so literally who cares? if you have 10 years of front line participation ribbons and still dont know your own rotation enough to enter an optional pvp zone thats your own fault. new world aeternum had carebear groups where the entire server would team up each week to loot elite treasure chests and could zerg any griefers easily. its not like the ff14 community would not have the same nonsense in place to protect everyone. you guys cant do any type of content without a discord train group leading you with 8 different addons.

I would play on it. Worqor is my favourite FL map simply as it gives room to roam and there's a lot of natural cover. I treat it as an OW playground, and try to squeeze out as much of my FL time on that map exclusively (I missed they heyday of when it was locked as one of two maps every day, much to most players' chagrin smh). The rest of the maps bore the tears out of me (BR was decent for me too, until that got altered).

FFXIV also has the benefit of no gear crutches in PvP, that was axed many moons ago. So if it applied to this hypothetical OW PvP map that'd be grand.

I get that many focus on the malicious side of it, but don't take into account those that hunt the said poor sports too. /wave (I know I know, those are heinously few in number, sadly, but I try).

Eh, it's probably a waste of energy to request such a thing... much like dreaming of the concept art for FL, again, many moons ago. Had more akin with GW's WvWvW by the looks of it, but then again that mode has withered into a follow the kitty mark husk too.
