I played a lot of MMO pvp. And Rift is at the top of the food chain when it comes to one thing.
Choice and consequence in character customization. I've spent many a long night, at the trainer spending my platinum. I've discovered and happily enjoyed some specs that were later nerfed (fixed?). You are the mad scientist of your own playstyle.
But on top of that, Rift holds its own in another MMO angle. Player skill and twitch reflex. Rift may not be the standard, probably because it is so unforgiving during teamplay which I think is by design. But for solo adrenaline junkies like myself, it does the trick.
Next time you see your PUG warfront fall apart, don't get so angry. Remember what Rift PVP is, and what it tries to be. And learn to accept that someone out there is better than you at something.
Relax.
