Yeah, that's not even a problem you had to leave FFXIV to see: three-sided PvP is terrible when it's actually tied to player-selected faction, because there is literally no chance of all three factions being of equal strength. In my experience you'll usually have one with the raw population win, one with less people but more of them being really into PvP, and one being the victim of a curbstomp because they had neither.

Before they mandated freelancing in Frontlines that was also true there; every match boiled down to Adder Vs. Maelstrom, with the Flames having no chance bar extreme luck on the later-night 8v8v8s. I'm not even entirely sure why that started, but once that population dynamic gets realized, it becomes self-fulfilling: the Flames never won, so people serious about winning never joined the Flames, so the Flames never had the people to win.

Even two-side PvP often has that problem, but at least fixing that is a much simpler prospect.
