But you can kind of tell they just threw some big ideas together without any real thought on the details of actual PVP. There is no such thing as balance in this mode.

The devs have shown time and time again an unwillingness to inject basic common sense into PVP. FFXIV's PVP has immense potential, but it hardly gets the attention it deserves and as a result the people who actually enjoy or could enjoy pvp are often turned away. You can see that now with slaughter and beyond some of the immediate fixes the devs seem to be insistent that their way is the only way at the cost of people's interest (which is deteriorating). SE really needs to get the memo that you create interest by letting people actually play the game.
Agreed. SE simply doesn't care. You have the ability to overhaul an entire MMORPG but not fix pvp? No. You just don't care. If nothing changes in 3.0 I'm gone. I'll come back in another year and see of things are better.
