The post made by the OP was wishful self-centered thinking on the part of the poster (yeah, I know, he is trying to "help" us bloobies discover the joy that is PVP). It was also a sad commentary on what the MMO world has become.
As MMOs have evolved, PVP has become more and more prevalent - probably partly due to the success of WoW and also partly due to the fact that there is a large percentage of the gaming population that enjoy PVP.
Personally, I don't like PVP and I don't like the baggage that comes along with it. I know there is a significant percentage of MMO players who feel similarly. Classic EQ is one of the last bastions of "mostly pure" PVE. Why in the HELL do people feel the need to try and take even that away? The damned Red server is there, isn't that enough? Oh no, we should all be forced to play PVP. The nerve of some people.
