Yeah I know that, that's one of the reasons why I'm liking the game so much. I'm fairly tired of all the raiding and hardcore instances for just a few pieces of loot.
I think that for a launch, Mythic did a pretty good job on the pvp aspects, especially when you consider sycld's comment about how maybe they purposely tried to make the transition from WoW easier. I think that they'll add more pvp content like an arena and tournaments and more competitive functions with a future expansion.Still, as a pvp game it leaves a lot to be desired, like that fact that you have to pve at all or grind levels. The fact that pvp wasn't tacked on to a pve-grind fest engine as an after thought puts it a cut above most MMOs, but the lack of arenas or any form of organized pvp, ladders or a tournament system hurts it as a pvp game imo. Granted, RvR is pretty fun at the moment, but it's far from competitive, and I just don't know if it will be able to keep me interested in the long term.
