I think pvp mmo's can work if they are implemented like EVE does theirs. Otherwise, I agree that it will just die.

Played Warhammer Online. Can confirm, any PVP mmo that rewards gear advantage for winning = Doomed as fuck. You eventually find yourself in completely unwinnable (or unloosable) pvp matches time and time again. The winners will ride said win-train as long as they can until server merges, meanwhile the loosers will re-roll or server xfer to avoid loosing 24/7 (one can hardly blame them)

From personal experience I had a Renown rank 80(max at the time) Choppa with full sovereign gear and a mythic 2handed sword from Tomb of the Vulture lord - Could literally solo 4 to 5 people by myself if they where not adequately geared (which happened a lot cause Destruction was always winning on my first server. The difference between low rank renown gear and high rank renown gear as insanity) Que into scenarios with literally like 1 or 2 friends and any healer that wasn't asleep and we could camp Order right outside their spawn
