There really aught to be some sort of introduction or tutorial for pvp x_x things like this, ilvl sync, morale, materia, how purify could be used for others, how defense and by extension protection doesnt apply in pvp (its soooo common in feast to see healers hard casting protect in combat. I'm sure it's caused more than a few lost matches) etc. There are so many little nuances to PvP as a unique game mode that just aren't presented to players in any sort of accessible manner.
A workaround, sort of, for raise vs DB, is creating an extra chat tab and ticking off "actions used on me" in it's settings. That way you can at least look at that when someone casts raise on you and tell if it's the PvP or PvE kind. Another nice chat filter, btw, is "others battle messages" and "own battle messages", under announcements. This will tell you give you a message saying "player_name1 is defeated by player_name2" whenever someone dies
