Re: ffxi PVP

I too am against pvp in ffxi, just macht said, its going to lead to harrasment of players to duel, I like the team aspect of ffxi very much, and though it may be a pain to get a pt sometimes it works out better in the end getting that sense of accomplishment because you had to work hard for something, this is the reason why when I left eq2 I chose to come here instead of WOW.

I'm sure that is exactly what would happen. That would drive me nuts.

Re: ffxi PVP

I would like to see a 'sparing' system if a PvP system were to be introduced. Where players could fight each other without KOing their opponent. Add a spare gauge, kind of like when you are fishing, entirely seperate from your health bar. You deplete the other's player gauge you win, no one dies and no items exchange parties (unless you just want to trade with them).

And like Balfree suggested, make it like trading where you can accept or decline spar request.

The few people I am friends with I would like to compete with on friendly terms, but I am not so naive to believe some people would not take advantage of it. But I think it would be cool to have friendly matches with friends without anything being on the line.

Re: ffxi PVP

Ballista is not about killing. FFXI is solely about working together and not war. The Herald(referee) of every match says a prayer about peace.

However, I do wish SE including more 'people' bad guys. I don't want to give spoilers away... but, *SOMEONE* who was excuted a long time ago turns out to be not so dead in CoP, would make for a good bad guy.
