Initial changes you'd like to see in PvP?

-Visual effects are overdone and gaudy, causes everything to become a blur of action where it's almost 100% better to simply not even LOOK at the actual characters and instead JUST look at party list for 98% of the match. Flashy effects are cool in PVE, but in PVP it just makes things get lost in the chaos.

I came in to say "reduce overly flashy visual effects" so I agree with you overall, but disagree that they're fine in PVE content. They've gotten too big and flashy there too, and I feel like I can't leave them turned on any more or I can't see anything in high-level dungeons. I hate having them off, though – I have much less idea what my teammates are doing without basic effects active, but it's all or nothing on the massive light explosions now.

In PVE you can set effects to minimal or none and it doesn't affect your performance whatsoever, but in PVP you need to be able to see effects which is why I said it's fine in PVE but not PVP

And I'm saying that I don't want to have to set effects to "minimal or none" because you go straight from everything to the bare minimum (really just healer AOE circles, as far as I can see) and every other attack does nothing visual at all.

It's a choice of "all or basically nothing" right now, and I want a medium: simpler versions of skills that are visibly doing something without the full extent of flash and bang.

Further on the visual effects, I really cannot deal with RDM's constantly spinning ring around them. It's okay in combat but when you're trying to browse gear at the Wolves' Den and have that constant bright spinning light, I really can't handle it. I have to switch classes, or if it's someone else standing nearby, I have to move away and get it off my screen.
