When people create a clan they opt for PvP Clan or Non-PvP clan. If you join a PvP clan then the leader can wage war on another PvP clan, if that other clan accepts then you have yourself a 7 day clan war. For that duation, every member of both clans are pretty much open for attack anywhere in the world.
The game is based on PvE but lends itself very nicely to PvP if they ever wanted to make a faction based PvP system against a playable Bane type faction or other alien type faction. I can easily see Camelot's fronteir type RvR being a huge boon here... if done right and kept voluntary.
I mean, if there's any PvP at all, which there already is, you're going to have balance issues that effect PvE players as well, unfortunately. Since it's here anyway, might as well put some thought into PvP and do something for those players as well... imo.
Only against one other guild? Would you really encounter people that much? From you post I get the feeling they want PvP to be sort of a sideshow. Even more then WoW maybe.
Like Vendayn was saying, you are correct it's a sideshow right now, albeit a fun one
I just think it's a great game foundation for PvP at a later date, if done in a faction type setting.
I won't miss it if it's not added though as I am primarily a PvE type player in this game. But I think it would work well here is all
I am just thinking the PVP revamp will come hand in hand with the 'bio-enhanced' races.
Would make perfect sense to have you select your 'race/faction' halfway through the game, which then leads to a galactic battle between whichever side you choose ... perhaps that too will be tied into ethical parables to determine your future alliance.
AFS, Corman, Forean, Bane, etc.
The clan vs clan fighting is a lot of fun and you can declare on however many clans at any one time. So if one clan is a little more rare - pick another fight. :P

Vendayn is correct, Clan Wars and Duels for now.
