Will you bother to PVP?

[Antipika]

I'll try it out but PvP in MMOs is usually horribly balanced or heavily gear dependent.

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.
