    Wait... What PvP story? Omega was a plot point for Teledjis little coup. Frontlines is a friendly conflict over territory, which more importantly is keeping Omega "safe" (and you only learn this in the MSQ, PvP alone makes no mention of Omega). Seal Rock is likewise a friendly conflict over Allagan data. The place gets mentioned as a proving grounds for Omega, but that is it... Omega was far more involved in the MSQ than it was in PvP, I really doubt they're going to tie it into PvP... Didn't they mention it would come up again in Heavensward? Kinda surprised the Summoner questline didn't hint at it, you'd think it might sense a Dreadwyrm Trance and start waking up... Fully expect it to be a method to deal with Nidhogg, though...

    The PvP story is that Grand Companies fail at negotiations and resort to play-fights to determine who controls resources. That's it, and that's not a story, that's an excuse. If you do the MSQ then you get the story; They're not just fighting over resources, they're fighting to keep the areas actively dangerous to prevent unwanted hands messing with powerful Allagan stuff. The MSQ adds all the story behind Omega, likewise the MSQ can go "Oh no, Omega got activated somehow!" or "Ishgard is requesting access to Omega to help them end their war!". PvP would go unaffected because Omega was never mentioned in PvP, even if it was (we can pretend the PvE enemies in Frontlines are Omega, even though they're more likely Dalamud related) doing PvP after the fact would be no different than doing Keeper of the Lake after the fact.
