The idea and hope of the things being "totally separate" spits in the face of the immersion that A) MMORPGs are centered around and B) the direction and emphasis of the new development team.

Beyond specific rewards gained from PvP and actions/abilities being tweaked in PvP (perhaps some unique) granted through PvP, all those hoping for a PvP monorail that guts out the rest of the game should expect to be sorely disappointed.

I love PvP, and I love PvP in an MMO setting. This fast-track to entry stuff that circumvents the entire world that one is playing in is ridiculous and a mindset borne from the desire of instant gratuity and ultimately from people who should not be catered to.

People who want this aren't here for the entirety of the game, in their very base desire they are stating that they wish for the other 90% of the game to have no relevance. Synergy is what keeps a game alive.

League of Legends is over there.
