One, I couldn't care any less about PVP.
Two, as far as current content, my statement is true. Will they be more relevant in new content, if and when we ever see it? (Pretty damn quiet dev wise.) Even then they will have to be cautious adding content new players could never touch. Otherwise they'll never stick around. My point was actually how useless they are considering if you get tired of a character and bench it, there sit your hard earned shards, never to see the light of day again.
A lot more PvE? I'll believe it when I see it.
