1- give permanent buffs similar to echo in any PvP instance, one is massive skill speed increase to lower CDs to 1.8sec or so. this provides more action based PvP while not removing the tactical element. the second buff would be TP regen ,and this is essential to give melees chance to use sprint more often. right now all ranged classes that doesnt use TP will keep using sprint over and over, making it difficult for melees to keep pace.

Everything other than this first point was good.

Giving perma buffs to such as the one you just mentioned is atrocious.. MNK's and BRD's good at remaining locked onto their target giving a skillspeed boost, ultimately knocking down their GCD below 1.8 etc. If you wish for this to happen you best make sure SE takes physical attack damage from interrupting a caster "heal or damage based." You want tp, spec into enliven, get a tp pot, use weapon throw also use invigorate.

Other than that you made some solid points.

I would personally love "leaderboards" "Data Center" & Server Bound Ranking.
