#1 This game is made by Bioware, who has never done PVP before. Even though Mythic is helping, there have been no statements of them handing PVP over to Mythic.
#2 This game is based upon story, which is a PVE element.
#3 There are only two factions, so it's not a PVP game.
I begrudgingly accepted these 3 facts when the game was in early development and have not looked back. So, I do not expect stellar PVP unless they suddenly announce a third faction. Why do players and Devs not get it? The only way to make PVP great is to have an odd number of factions. It's first-grader math.

So by your logic 99% of PvP games aren't actually PvP games.

No, Close. In my unpopular opinion 99.5% of PVP games aren't actually PVP games. Have a Cigar.

I love this site. Browsing for less than a minute and I've already found the most idiotic comment I've ever read.
You might want to look up the definition of PvP before you consider posting again, although I honestly didn't think the concept was that difficult to grasp. You seem to be confused PvP with PvPvP /sarcasm off.
Have a guide to MMO terminology.

Umm... are you serious?!? PVP, IMO =/= one player shooting another with a cannon whilst the latter wields a sword. I don't care what propaganda you've read. PVP is the *viable competition* of one player trying to kill a *worthy opponent*.
When we talk about games, as a whole, Player Killing happens in most of them. Does that make it a PVP game? No. That's why in Boxing we don't see Pacman*versus* Street Person # 12 in sports. It's not competitive. It's not "versus" if it's a massacre.
If you walk around a corner and blow some unexpecting person's head off with a gun, is that a fist fight? Does the news report it as an "honorable fight of Aryas VERSUS Street Person #13", or do they report it as a dishonorable murder? The same problem arises when we define PVP as "any kill between two players." No... that's called cheap shotting, and no real world sport would consider it a viable competition in any form.
Make no mistake, for open-world PVP to be competitive in an MMO game, it has to have an odd number of factions. The problem with internet autonomy + the masses is that the latter start to blur lines between what is honorable and competitive, and what is *allowed*.
The word "versus" is mis-used IMO, and should be reserved for competitive fights, not PKs.
