Agree. Sort of.
I'd just like to see more balance.
Getting an epic in a PvP situation (BG/Arena) takes little or no coordination with others. Want honor? Log on and sign into a BG queue. Play your match. You don't even need to chat. Just run around and kill ... or not kill. For arena, sure you need to coordinate with one, two or four others, but for just long enough for a few battles. Either way, you get your play in just a few minutes instead of over a couple hours.
Getting an epic in PvE requires multiple hours of coordination and quality play from four, nine or twenty four other players. You can get S1 epics as a complete moron who hasn't bothered to talk to their trainer or replace their gear since level 14, but that's not the case for heroics or raids.
Not that I discount PvP epic getters. If you like that side of the game, go with it. I don't want to infringe on other's ability to enjoy a game.
But I'm tired of people looking at my gear and saying "dude, why don't you get Gladiator's Blechblabla?" Why? Because I get more personal satisfaction from prying a sword from the bloody grip of a slain monster than buying it from some goblin.
I feel fine about world pvp. If I'm tired of grinding/questing on a Saturday, you bet I'm up for doing a Halaa run because it's a lot of fun. And it's nicely balanced for levels. Lowbies can bomb just as well as a level 70. Send up your lowbies to bomb down while the 70s keep the defenders in check on the ground.
