Reason #1 has been an issue in the past, but if you look carefully enough, you'll see SE has been rather proactive about balancing PvP. No, it will never be a perfe t balance, but gear imbalances aren't an issue with ilvl sync, jobs largely have their strengths and weaknesses, but there is no "OP" job effectively, and even what seems like the most unbeatable strategies have their counters.

I would not ask you to force yourself to try the PvP in this game, but to withhold any justifications for disliking until you at least have tried it. 3.4 is bringing some very positive and long sought changes. That perhaps may be a good time to approach a friend or someone you know that may actively PvP, and giving it a legitimate try.
