This happens in all games:
* Roll the class with the most obvious advantages
* Say your wins vs classes with obvious disadvantages were because you were more skilled
FFXIV isn't designed for 1v1 combat. If they introduced it as a legit form of pvp, then there would be lots and lots of complaints. I don't think 1v1 would help people improve their pvp skills, I'd say the majority of problems in pvp stem from players who don't know how to work as a team. So I don't see what 1v1 would teach people about team work.
