This has been the unfortunate truth of FFXIV's PvP since inception, and I've called SE out on it many times. It's likely also a large factor why so many disliked it (assuming it wasn't an arbitrary dislike of PvP in the first place). The old community compiled their knowledge and wrote guides and made videos and such, but with the sweeping changes SE made, not all of it is applicable anymore, and the now-lack of depth all but encourages newcomers to not bother with learning more to perhaps play better and win more. Thus we get the "crap shoot", Duty Finder mentality in PvP now, and it's pretty heartbreaking to see.
