PvE and PvP Levels

When first looking into AoC this was one of the attractions for me, something I felt was used to a lesser degree in EQ2 where PvE and PvP damage was calculated independantly. The fact that the leveling itself was also going to be separate was imo a step along the right path.
However does it really go far enough? I know to some extent its one of those have to 'wait and see' things but my fear is this will be nothing more than a tag to draw people in on false hopes.
PvE and PvP gear will be separate too with the PvE gear obtained from well.... PvE and PvP top end from crafting, these are all the right bells imo. "So wtf are you just telling us what we already know???". Well the thing is if you were going to the bother of actually making the game so PvP friendly why not just do it properly? Why not do away with levels in PvP at all?
Levels serve no purpose other than to give devs severe headaches later on with impossible balance issues. Why not give crafters a real wet dream and a proper stake in the game and have magically repearable gear (going out on a limb here it may already be this way) taken out and degredation play a real part in a downside to just PK'ing everything and everyone. Why not have a decent form of PvP looting.
It just seems to me that they had an opportunity here to really go for it and only went half way. They could have been the first big title to really go with the 2 tier game and appeal to a much larger comminuty. They were already prepared to effectively code seperate games for PvP and PvE so why not do it right. Levels simply have no place in PvP
Before the disection begins, yes, I know full well there are other issues involved but you know what, I'm not a designer or a dev it's not my job to solve them I just know what imo works well in PvP and what does not.
On another note that has nothing whatsoever to do with this, I'm not a grammar nazi by any streatch of the imagination (just look above 
) and this has nothing to do with grammar but... "I could care less" ffs why do people keep writing this its pissing me off its means the opposite of what they are trying to say "COULDN'T" its F%$cking "couldN'T care less"

Don't you just get new abilities when level up in pvp? I'm not sure.
If you take away Leveling in PvP, then you take away a goal in pvp.
im thinking they implemented the pvp levels so players could get better pvp aspects such as using seige engines, pvp gear and so on i dont think it will be more abilitys
but i could be wrong...
