The "pvp" games are kind of fun but they are not what I would call PVP. I was really hoping for objective based world PVP like DOAC originally did (wonderfully) and WAR tried to do but failed (almost in the same way DAOC failed with their big PVP update). I am still holding out hope that Bioware is working on something.
Hutball, etc. won't have any staying power. They are a nice distraction right now but definitely not a PVP end game.
At least they didn't make the mistake of having an Arena.
