Crit ran their mouth and made an ass of themself, not unlike you've been doing as well, and people shut him down for it. This is me not feeling one bit sorry for that.

Jobs are not more balanced now. I invite you to go read those job guides or take a look around the PvP forums a bit.

And no, 4.x really doesn't demand any more team play or situational awareness than before. Sure, you can't solo carry so easily anymore, but that wasn't what it was all about in the first place. People aren't deterred from PvP because they don't understand how to work as a team, they're deterred because it's not good, or because they already had negative stigmas about it anyways. It really does take knowing what we had vs what we have now to see the sad irony of how people hated/avoided 3.x PvP for the exact reasons and issues that are prevalent now in 4.x PvP, but are too busy lauding SE for their big "fix".
