How does PVP work in other MMO?

Let's just say PvP on here has no real competition at all and I mean it. I came from wow as a pvper to here and it shattered my heart when I saw how dumbed down it was.

Lord... better dumbed down than the unbalanced mess that was Wow pvp. Maybe it's a lot better now that they added pvp talents... but it was atrocious before.

I like the bones of ffxiv pvp. They just need to tweak some things and support it better.
