I've played PVP in a variety of games, and this alone attributes to why (while I am an avid PVPer) that I will not fight in the Wolf's Den.

Already as it is FFXIV is a problem with homogenizing classes, raid parties and dungeon parties.

In Wolf's Den you are restricted to having a tank, a healer, a ranged DPS and a physical DPS.

We can't really 'spec' in this game (which is a huge part of most MMORPG PVP experiences) so players should at least have the option in creating their OWN combination of party members.

I would also attribute this restriction to dissuading groups of friends who have, say a Black Mage and a Bard, on a team from playing. It has for me. The constraints make the battlefield extremely formulaic and offers no opportunity for a 'meta' or creativity of any kind to form.

Thoughts and support please. I think Wolf's Den could be great, but at the moment goes against the appeal of team based PVP.
