It is rather "easy" (hint: actually it's pretty darn long to do, if you want to do a proper job) to balance SC/SC2 and MOBAs because we have a single competitive field mode with a limited number of factors for fights in a controlled environment. Except ESO is an MMO, not a MOBA/RTS or else, and has no proper MMR for battlegrounds, no ranking for duels, no eSport scene nor professional play, not specific consideration / ranking for open world play.
How do you balance ESO? Around BGs? Cyrodiil leaderboard? Duels? 1/2vX and outnumbered play? Even teams in Cyrodiil? According to which rulesets?
I am not saying it's not possible at all, what I am saying is that we don't currently have the tools (be it proper MMR or data on gear/class/ability/anything usage/efficiency, group composition for different sizes, matchmaking stats...) to make proper balance decisions, nor what is/are the competitive field(s) considered.
Both ?
