PvP is not a main feature in FFXIV. It's treated as a side activity. Other side activities include Treasure Hunt dungeons, Deep Dungeons, Gold Saucer, Eureka-like exploration zones and Gathering Forays.

Now the PvP battlesystem is different, even if you get back your PvE abilities it wouldn't be the same. And some PvE skills are just too strong now for PvP, you cant really go back unless you change the battlesystem again too, which would be a big development step and that might not happen during an addon.
More or less, yeah.
