It would be nice if PvP didn't take a back seat for MMOs.
Better solution: MMOs should be designed from the ground up to be primarily focused on one or the other. WoW (and SWTOR, since it's copying WoW's design in broad strokes) is quite clearly a PvE game with PvP largely feeling tacked on, whereas Eve is obviously built around PvP being the top priority. I don't think the approach of trying to be all things to all people leads to a solid game design.

I, for one, am not interested in PvP at all, and I get really frustrated when the game is changed to address a PvP balance concern that has no bearing on the PvE content I enjoy. Likewise, I'm sure the PvP players feel the same way when their class is nerfed because of a PvE issue that doesn't affect them.
