Balancing both games and life would be a challenge I've put too much time into pl to switch now. I played al for a few hours IMO its about equal with pl they both have good/bad sides to em..... And as far as beig unbalanced and having to work toward being elite al is going to be the same way eventually your in on the ground floor which is an advantage but there's no way of knowing which class will be superior pvp in end game so you've got a 1/3chance of nailing it unless you want to level 3 characters to every single elite lvl cap..... Tough decision glad I don't have to make it =P
