So is it safe to say that we won't get PvP for a long time? At least till 2012?

pvp is almost always unbalanced in some way, especially in pve games where there are roles such as healers, CC, and support (oddly sometimes these are the best at pvp). no matter how much work they do, i highly doubt they will be able to balance the classes for pve and pvp.

you do not play ff mmo's if you are looking for pvp

I hope it takes a very very long time for them to impliment PvP. As that will be the point in which the game will see class after class get hosed, in the name of balancing. Never fails, happens in every MMO when they add PvP some time after launch. Abilities always work differently against player characters then they do in ame mob npcs. PvPers will cry foul WHEN one class has an ability or two that is OP in PvP. They will foolishly nerf it for the sake of the PvPers who cry all over the forums. Now the OP PvP spells that were decent to good PvE spells, will be nerfed and useless PvE.

I have never seen an MMO that had PvP introduced sometime after launch that did not ruin PvE.

i respect ur opinion but i disgree. pvp never ruined mmos crybabys who cant accept change ruins the game for themself. this game will change a million times in the next 5 years with out wit out pvp, so ur assumption is invalad and biased.

and as for part u sayed it urself, they change abiltys to work different in pvp. that will not effect pve.
