Server design has nothing to do with the PS3, PS3's network capability is the same as of a netbook or a high-end gaming rig. Don't confuse it with the graphics engine, which shouldn't be a problem either if they do it right this time.

Don't know what you're bitching about. There's really no loss from the PC version thanks to the PS3 release. We're getting mod support, which the PS3 doesn't get. Better draw distances, which the PS3 won't get, and just more stuff on the screen all around, which the PS3 doesn't get.

Sounds to me that the PS3 players are being screwed over due because of the PS3 not being anywhere near as flexible as a PC, but okay.

If PS3/PC players aren't separated, you can be almost certain that the overall gameplay will suffer because of PS3 players. Especially if PvP becomes important (i.e. not as useless as in XI) on XIV. To make things fair between PC and PS3 players, expect some gameplay tweaks to be made.
