Extremely limited PVP, consentiual only, and limited to PVP pits in the taverns or a signup arena type deal. Game isn't built around it, there's no exp or rewards for it, and that will most likely never change.
BTW, a TenTonHammer interview today with the producer of Kate Paiz sounds like PVP should become more robust with time:
"Kate Paiz: We’re really happy with the system and we feel that its given us a chance to explore the solid D&D connections with that sort of system. We wanted to make sure that it was introduced in a way that was really true to the table top game and that players could engage with without breaking them out of the model that we’d already established for the game. We’re definitely planning on expanding it.
We’re dabbling in the system in Module Six and we’re also going to be working on it in Module Eight as well. We’re definitely hoping to fill out a PvP competition structure that’s a bit more robust and one that players can get a bit of prestige and notoriety from.
We’d do some of this in Module Seven, but our work with the Monk class has us a bit preoccupied. However, it is something that we’re really excited to continue building around, and it’s definitely something we’re looking to expand in the future.
Module Five actually included a major update to PvP, because it actually allowed players to “self-match” so players could define who’s on the red team and who’s on the blue team. We think it really led to some better matches, and it’s something that we continue to support. "
I gotta say I think PVP in the taverns has picked up. I think maybe because people might be bored and waiting on Mod 6 to come out. All this week while I leveled my little rogue the Lobster was pretty packed with people in the side room doing PVP. I play on Khyber. So after Mod 6 comes out I'll check back in there to see if still has a crowd.
Yeah, it's usually fairly crowded, especially the Lobster. Fact is...even for a non-PVP guy like me...it's FUN! It leaves out all the crap I hate about PVP in a lot of other games (ganking, corpse looting, griefing) and just leaves it as a fun experience.

Promote what you love instead of bashing what you hate.
