Will you bother to PVP?

I'll try it out but PvP in MMOs is usually horribly balanced or heavily gear dependent. I won't really place too much value in it though, it'll be a fun alternative at best. If I want meaningful PvP, I just play fighting games.

Looks like you described PvE as well in many games Horribly balanced (class/specs) and gear dependent (gear tier)

As for PvP, it all depend of its implementation. I was a hardcore DAoC player, it's gonna be hard to please me with PvP, but Yoshida was also a DAoC player so... maybe... there is hope to have a proper PvP system.

True but it's one thing to fight against a CPU and another against a player. It all depends on balancing really. Will the PvP be balanced around meaningful 1v1 or team based gameplay? Without knowing that, we won't really know how well PvP will pan out.
