PVP PLD Cheese Problem

[Kansene]

The pld abuse is a damn travesty that should never have been enabled in the first place.
It's "easily countered" only if you have the specific jobs available that can do anything about it, who also manage to single them out amidst all the chaos, who also manage not to botch the counter.
It takes zero effort to use the guard abuse, it takes a massive amount of coordination and effort to counter it.

Pld cheese won't win the game on its own, but it sure helps that you get to nearly automatically cap any nodes you want because let's face it: Most teams are not able to properly deal with the pld cheese unless they are so massively superior in open combat that the pld and their cap buddy never even make it close to the node.
I've seen countless, countless matches where a team has started losing, then just turned 100% unga bunga pld abuse mode and turned the battle completely around because they resorted to doing nothing but cheese spam.

When an entire FL degenerates into "locate and disable paladins first, everything else secondary" then something isn't right. And what do I do if I'm playing, say, GNB, or SCH? If I see a paladin doing their thing, the literal only thing I can do is stand there like a dofus and watch them cap without having the ability to do anything about it. And don't come here with "just bring teammates who can counter it lol", it's a disingenuous argument that "somebody can do something about it some of the time so it's okay".
Guard needs one simple fix, and that fix is this: "Capping can still be interrupted while guarded." No need to remove the CC immunity, no need to remove the damage immunity. Just level the playing field so we don't see 15+ paladins every time we do Onsal.

EDIT: That being said, this thread should probably be in the PvP section, or better yet, add to one of the bigger threads there already about the topic instead. Allegedly that provides more visibility than several short threads.
