This is a good first step but they've still got a ways to go before they introduce the Frontlines system.

Removing the restrictions on skills is a good start, it forced an unnecessary need to specialize into a single job type. One of the reasons I stopped pvping was that I had gotten tired of going in as a Blm/Smn but all of my points were already invested and even if I wanted to try joining as anything else it would have meant certain death in most situations.

What they need to focus on next is a total reworking of the morale system and actually reworking pve skills into pvp skills so tanks can actually serve as tanks and not as just a third dps, among other problems.
