My take on the FF14 Battlegrounds

[DrWho2010]

pvp gear used to have levels to them, but then they decided they wanted everything to be equal. that's why gear doesn't matter anymore in PVP. also they have a hard enough time balancing everything they want for the players to perform at, esp in ranked feast matches. any kind of advantage would be detrimental to the people that don't have it.

Feast can be a different thing. They have their own players, the problem is that Frontline is for everyone to play... and it's chaotic.
I might be wrong, and some of the info above could be wrong or have been tried before by the team, I remember there was a similar thing (but was deserted). The main issue I see is that people don't know what they need to do, so, adding a story tutorial before allowing people to roulette, would help.
