I dont find it that bad, i like how its not central...but it is indeed under-advertised. However it is a team game...which FFXI is all bout, Ballista Instaports and Instawarps really did the trick though..these key items really help you go to your match, and that Ballista Earring helps alot for me knowing when one is up.

However...i have to agree that the job system is a bit more flawed in that aspect especially with subjobs...as well..i dont play PvP outside 60 and 30 caps...60 where your skills have matured a whole bunch...and 30 where your skills are limited and because you have a more...reason to choose odd subjobs due to their offers at lower lvls as opposed to others.
