PVP - Another system that discourages use of the armory system

[Naunet]

A lot of the skills are mandatory, playing without some of them are completely insane.

And this is precisely why I think it's absolutely idiotic to tie player skills to PvP progression. The gear disparity is more than enough of a disadvantage for folk just starting. That you can't even play with a fully functional skill set when you start is absurd. I don't know what Squeenix was smoking when they decided that, but it needs to change.

While that's true (disadvantage when starting), I like the concept. Earning a new kick-ass skill feels a lot better than replacing your gauntlets to gain 3 vitality and 2 strength.
