Since some time ago I was trying to get the truthful information about "why a large majority of PvE players do NOT like the idea of a PvX for AoC". I tried several times, with several comments, ideas, memes and things that made them discuss about it but nothing gave me the result that was needed, until yesterday. To get such a pure information , so personal and so intrinsic in the style of playing a MMORPG you have to let things flow at their own pace , do not force the answer but rather let the answer flow by itself and let the same PvE players who complain about the future PvX give the answer for themselves with their own words.
The vast majority of PvE players have the wrong idea of what PvX is in AoC. They need to be educated, they need clear information so that they themselves realize that PvX is a great help to them.
We should not leave our carebears brothers alone, they are very necessary for the growth of AoC. Adopt a carebear and educate them

It's THAT easy ... ... The World of Verra - can NOT function - without PvP. - right ? The Caravans, The Nodes and their Sieges, Piracy/Naval Battles on the Seas, how is all that supposed to function without PvP ?
It's certainly an interesting question. One likely without an answer that will please everybody. I enjoyed reading through this thread. It's a conversation that comes up often, so there are plenty of Steven quotables to share here (of which some have made their way here!) My favorite is this: "...One of the defining elements of our world-building approach and being a PvX game is that PvE builds the world and PvP changes the world." - Steven elaborating on this here
