This will never happen.
1v1 would only be fair if you fight the same person on your class and even then SCH vs. SCH fights or AST vs. AST fights sound miserable. Could you imagine a WAR vs. BRD? lol.

PLD vs PLD would be like watching paint dry.

Hey, even if it's a pipe dream, I can still dream of a "Duel" mode. I will agree though, in almost all but Melee Dps vs Melee Dps matches it's be a little strange to a complete farce.

I think Warrior vs Dark Knight could be interesting, but again, I see how 1v1 doesn't exactly work well with the combat system design.

FF14's combat is too slow for an interesting 1v1 match.

1vs1 only works at LV1.... ^^;

1v1 would be amazing if just for fun, not rank or score charted in any way. I would love to take on some warriors with my monk for a laugh and see what strategy I could come up with to whittle them down while not dying to a fell cleave, but if scores were kept then the whole thing is messed up. All you would see were AST, SCH and WAR in queue, with the occasional SMN.

Eh, a data center is a collection of servers. They already do that.

the point he was making is that they should, in the interest of matchmaking, combine Primal+Aether as a single node and Mana+Gaia+Elemental as another single node, as they are all housed in the same building complexes

(before anyone argues that they shouldnt do that because chaos DC wont be able to, thats not a legitimate argument)

Yep. I mean, at that point, why even keep them separate? There's, what, 20-200 ft. in distance between certain Data Centers since they're in the same huge complex (maybe even the same room, for all we know)? They're already in the "same center", they just act like they aren't.

With today's technology, the only reason to have different Data Centers/Battlegroups/whatever the MMO of the moment calls them is due to differences in geographical position. Combining them regardless of distance will cause too much latency variance between players depending on where they're connecting to the servers from, so that's obviously no good. But when the geographical position of multiple Data Centers is the same, latency would no longer be an issue if they were combined and there's no reason to keep them separate.
