At least in my opinion. And that is despite the fact that FFXIV does not have to deal with balancing abilities for pvp and pve simultaneously, which makes things so much easier for Sqenix. Oh, and they don't have to deal with any type of variation in skills/talents/gear either. All those are complicating factors which most MMOs have to deal with when balancing out their pvp that are completely absent in FFXIV.
WoW PVP is inherently unbalanced thanks to the PVP gear. Someone with high-level PVP gear could teabag their keyboard and still destroy you no matter how good you are. ESO is even worse with the way their gear sets work and how broken certain combinations are. Any MMO PVP that doesn't put everyone on the same playing field in terms of gear and stats like FF14 or GW2 is automatically bottom tier.
