    Don't forget dynamis and limbus costs. >.>

    So people won't do it.

    Ballista, the game; scoring petras and what-not, is the worst game I've ever played and I hate it with a passion, lol.
    Ballista is like Battlegrounds in WoW. It's gimmick PvP elements entertwined around some PvE centric goal. The payout is pretty similar, where you earn points for some rewards.

    It's probably why I enjoy Arena much more than I should >.>

    I think it's just about different times and locations.. Last time I did a real Ballista (real as in real pvp, not people wanting to challenge my Red Mage again..) was about 2 and a half years ago. I quite enjoyed playing Thief in 40 cap back then.

    Yeah well, different servers = different communities. Some communities have more number of people who enjoy playing Ballista some, don't.

    Ballista depends on server? So like, there's "good" Ballista servers, and ones that have no ballista at all?

    Seraph does have a good Ballista community
    Are you even on Seraph anymore?

    Last 4 60 caps I attempted where either canceled or had 8 people at MOST.

    I even have a friend who ballistas ALOT that can vouche. He was saying how ballista is being ruined and no one shows except the jp.

    Uncaps even, there's barely above 4-6 per side, on a good day. Again; most are jp.

    Seraph ballistas are ALWAYS being canceled due to lack of players latly, so don't tell me.
    And yes, it IS an MMO based game, yet SE has been working on more soloable type mission (ToAU, likely WoTG/Campagin) there's absolutly no reason that a more PvP type of system shouldn't be added. No one ever said that ballista has to be taken away. But I'd place all my chips in that more people would play the killcount type PvP than ballista
    Exactly. Typical example of someone who enjoys killing more than scoring. Correct me if I'm wrong but, Lilth did not just say "AMAGAWD I GET SUCH A RUSH WHEN I TOSS THE PETRA AT THE FLOATER THING!"
    Yet to appease the more, 'I want to work with others' type players, there's no reason there can't be a team death match and what not.
    Don't get me wrong, maybe it's just my server; but it seems absolutly NO ONE is reliable anymore, no one has any idea what they're doing, and to rely on these people it seems impossible to do anything "team-based" on this game.
    I don't know what server you think you play on, but Seraph does have a good Ballista community. Aside from 30, 40, and 50 caps, (which even Fenrir doesn't have) Ballista is not canceled all the time. Uncaps are probably canceled frequently mainly because it's the most unbalanced Ballista cap there is.
    Ballista is about teamwork and strategy. If people want death matches, go to Diorama. Go to Fenrir, considering that's basically what their Ballista amounts to. Hell, go play Halo if you want mindless killing. To me this is what sets Ballista apart from everything else, that it's not about the killing.
    But I agree that PvP in general on FFXI needs some improvements. Brenner was a nice attempt at doing something new, but just failed miserably. Adding more scenarios, more zones, more options, even Ballista-only abilities or armor would be nice.

    I was on Fenrir, so I might be biased.

    Yes, I enjoy PVP, although FFXI's system needs a lot of work (There is no reason why Taru mages should be able to be killed with a single shot, nor is there a reason why a single Taru mage should be able to screw over many members of the other team in a single spell)

    I definitely enjoyed Brenner far more than Ballista, though. Quarrying is definitely the absolute WORST thing in FFXI PVP. It is boring, it looks stupid, and it wastes time. Gate breach is a good idea, allow people to get Gate breach WHEN THEY THEMSELVES SCORE A KILL, and then run to the rook to score. Tossing in Petras again looks stupid and wastes time, not to mention why the hell does your character take so much effort to throw it in? I'd have to get close to it, stop, slowly pull out the petra, and then toss it in. Compare that to the NBA, and last I checked even the NBA's 7 footers weren't FELLING FUCKING DRAGONS.

    Brenner is just much more fun and reasonable to me, although the NPCs guarding the flames are a bit over powered.
