I tend to disagree with this
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)
This is just pvp on a pvp server.. it happens

Obviously you shouldn't be able to group with the other team. Regarding that top people will have a lockdown, they'll naturally have a bigger shot at items but consider this scenario;
Basement Champion 1 and 2 are camping Lord. They need nothing else and have no interest in pursuing anything else in the zone. Little Joe see that assassin is open and calls up his buddy Steve so they can lock it down. This does not pass by unnoticed by the vigilant Basement Champions and they quickly move up and steamrolls poor Joe and Steve.
Joe and Steve figures guk is out of their league and heads over to befallen where they possibly can find an empty camp. Eventually they'll get tired of being limited to befallen and just leave.

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

I don't think most people here care about roleplaying so let's leave it out of here. I don't see how it would limit your ability to defend yourself, however it would limit your ability to dominate others. There will almost certainly be a problem with x-teaming but that problem will almost only affect the people at the top, and hopefully it can be limited by GM-activity and severe punishments.
And yes I've been one of those basement champions myself when I played on SZ. First on the weaker good team in most major guild and then on the neutral team where I was in Tides of Wrath.
I really do think this server has to cater more to the little guy then to the hardcore players in order for it to be able to attain longevity.
