Technically a scripted PvE encounter can never match the challenge potential involving both macro but also micromanagement involved in a team-based PvP match. This is because no matter how difficult a PvE encounter is programmed to be, the raid target will always behave based on its pre-programmed AI. Learn the AI, beat the encounter. A player opponent has an infinitely wider range of possible choices they can make

I was never super into EQ's pvp, but I was super into WoW's, specifically arenas. Then and now in WoW, almost always a top ranked arena player could learn the hardest raids but a top PvE player could almost never achieve top 10 rank in arenas
