    Open roles for non-ranked? Sure, go for it. In ranked, either lock rolls, or open up chat. It's going to die if they don't anyway.
    Its never going to be balanced because that is the nature of pvp and tanks are just weaker dps with CC. Healers are DPS with some healing. DPS have CC and self heals themselves. The parity between everyone is pretty even. I've gone in as a warrior, sage, bard, sam and mnk and honestly I didn't feel any advantageous playing any of them. The mode itself is pure chaos in a fun way and most of my wins have come up AGAINST teams with a "balanced" comp of dps tank and heals.

    They will tweak it as they go, but the format overall is perfectly fine.

    I'm sorry but this is just incorrect. Yes, some JOBS may be unbalanced, but making entire teams unbalanced where you can't adjust correctly is just a terrible system. And tanks are not "weaker", with their CC and survivability, they are a "drastically superior" dps.

    Ranked is meant to be competitive, so why make it impossible to balance teams correctly making it completely NON-competitive? You want pure chaos fun, fine, that is what casual mode is for, but I thought ranked was meant to be something more.

    They are weaker in the fact that they do less damage. I'm easily deleting people with samurai. I can't do that on warrior. I'm a little tankier, but damage is too low to burst anyone.

    Yes I agree with this. It should be in the roulette and give out exp like frontlines. Why they only put frontlines in the roulette is beyond me. Its the same with rival wings. If they put rival wings in the roulette it would actually get played more often. I don't understand why they only have frontlines in there....a mode I can't stand as its just a aoe zerg fest. Large scale pvp is just not fun to me.
