I tend to disagree with this

I personally prefer teams because it makes life easier for the average player. No teams work fantastic for the top few percentage, but for average joe who have hopes about camping fbss with a buddy or two it sucks. Anyone who doesnt belong to the powerhouses will not get a chance at anything until the top people have camped the items to death.

no-teams does work fantastic at the top end.. everyones on the same level (minus gear)
you can still camp that FBSS with a buddy or two regardless of teams.. and top people will always lock down or pwn into item camps
(because they dont roll solo)

make life easier? the only thing teams does is allow you to /tell someone if they have a spot open in their group w/o fear of being ganked
now that helps.. BUT
you will still fall into the OOR healer syndrome, when another group decides they want the camp and now you cant attack one of their group members because you are both on the same team
(so now you x-team group. and x-team guild invite wihch nullifies the team aspect and pushes you into the FFA catagory with limitations)

It's not like people are gonna be nice to the average joe's anyway and leave them alone, almost certainly they'll be killed on sight without a realistic chance of putting up a good fight.

This is just pvp on a pvp server.. it happens

Teams help people find a group and it helps the average player to actually have a shot at doing something interesting when he's online. He'll have a chance to participate in larger combats and defend against smaller raids where he won't be as outmatched as he otherwise likely would be.

Again, same scenerio as above
will be easy to get into groups, and give you something to do online
but in the scheme of it all it will limit your ability to defend yourself

Teams is fun for roleplay (lower levels) when server has the population for it.
I played VZ teams on live and even with a decent population the server eventually goes x-team anyway (FFA)
Guilds/Groups = teams imo
