The only answer you will get will be something that will make you think they care bout players needs and will satify you but also actually it wont be anything specific.
It will be in "Im sure devs are working on stuff right now" style.
@ Kitty,
Nope, just like you said, it will be never balanced. If we get same gear, here comes the ping "dude i have lags, if not ill totally own you". If OOO would solve ping problem in some magical way then people will complain about their computers "omg my pc sucks, if i would have machine good as yours ill own you, LD makes my pc overhead blabhlaha". Then if OOO would solve problem in another magical way the hack and cheat accusation would start accompanied with "lol you killed me, i bet you are a nolife" accusations.
Just like you said. It will be never balanced.
Like in all games, PVP 1 vs 1 or 2 vs 2 is & will never be balanced. NEVER. Unless we all have the same gear.
