It is much more difficult to balance both PvP and PvE at the same time (=them using the same system) than balancing them separately.

MMO balance is always tipped towards PvP and not everyone wants to do PvP if they want to enjoy the game.
I agree, this is why separating those 2 parts is the only way i see to not break the balance between those 2 sides of the game.
