Interesting points, Cody, but I'd qualify it a bit by specifying the type of PVP as individuals doing their own thing rather than an organized group. I saw this countless times in battlegrounds. If one of the sides is a "pre-made," or people who have worked out a common strategy and have unified communication, they almost always win (I've never seen what happens when both sides are pre-mades).

I would also add that in way of analogy, professional militaries have known about the power of mechanization for thousands of years. At some point, you could have weak soldiers, but just the virtues of being tightly trained and organized trumps the individual prowess of the opposite's warriors.
