Those of us who spent a lot of time in 1.0 already have our characters to lvl 50 on multiple classes, relics, and high ranking gear. A new character, which there seem to be a lot incoming in the RP community, isn't going to have that. It takes a lot of time and effort to obtain these things, those of us who remained with the game have 2 years of total accumulation. It's going to take newer people a significant amount of time to catch up, and that's just reality.
While I mean to each his own style, no one method is going to be generally accepted in the community.
On the note of people becoming involved in things as fights and sparring, this is definitely not always the case. While of course there may be certain causes for intervention, in my own experiences (and since Deir is a spaz and violent, there is a lot of them) people prefer to stay on the sidelines than interfere. (ex: Deir had gone on a rampage with at least 7 people standing there, no one jumped in to stop it)
RP sparring, where it is coordinated that two people fight for training purposes, occurred a lot as well. In places like The Eorzean Guard it was built in to the shell to train, and the sparring became less technical and more of an intimate relationship between whoever was fighting who. You feed off of one another, it's actually a very wonderful experience.
PvP mechanics, by their very nature, are going to be flawed. There is going to be an imbalance, whether from one class to another or one gear-set to another. It's not something you can control, while you can train at it, you cannot control it like you can text based, and be truer to your character. There isn't going to be on the fly gear switching either, which rules out multiple classes being available to you. If you're a white mage, you're limited to your white mage abilities, and we all know each of our characters are capable of more than that... it's written in the game.
I mean, do what pleases you~ but there are a lot more cool things to focus on in the game than beating someone in straight PvP (which is going to take a lot of grinding, and a lot of practice, and yeah, luck), rather than your character out witting them.
