I have the following:
-Dimension-traveling sorcerer who possesses an ancient arcane secret.
-Brilliant inventor/hero trying to make it big on his own after college.
-Foreign kid studying in America, having a blast and hiding out from a big destiny.
-A cerebral, tortured soul seeking meaning in a nihilistic wasteland, but who was redeemed in death by helping a friend.
-A demonologist with a limitless appetite for personal power and little regard for anyone he has to destroy to achieve it.
-Cyborg razorgrrl coming to grips with a checkered past and learning to do the right thing.
-Avenger of the night, driven by the desire to set the score straight after losing a family member - too young to carry so much pain or to live up to such a huge legacy.
-The pride of the neighborhood who gives back by watching his old stomping grounds and keeping the thugs mostly in line.
-Hard boiled ex-Marine sergeant turned voudon priest and private investigator.
-Broker of infernal deals - underwriter of agreements where payments are rendered in souls.
-Trans-dimensional hip-hop recording artist and Resistance enforcer.
That about covers them for now. -
Wut?

Well, there is a way around this, in that you can make a concept that employs the use of PvP godhood powers...but then that'll be a lot of the same concepts going around.

The problem is that good PvE builds and good PvP builds are so vastly different. I can talk about my IO'd out Defender that can solo a million AVs at once, but then I'll lose every time to a blaster with thirty travel powers and two attacks.
I also don't think that a character of mine should be completely unable to stand up to your awesomely built purpled out PvP character simply because I don't have billions of inf to spend on enhancements.
In all fairness, since you can switch builds, an attempt was made to partially address this but it still kinda falls short. There are just some power sets that do not at all stack up in PvP. You can argue some whole ATs don't stack up but that is a long and winding road of whine...
For me it still comes down to the time commitment required to have a PvP toon that isn't lolplanted within seconds. I'd rather spend that time on character development and RP, but that's me. -

This thread is going to be /awesome/.
In truth I think you have some really salient points. I am a pretty hardcore RPer and I absolutely hate the lameness of text fighting. I sometimes wax nostalgic for the old skool RPvP we used to have in the open PvP zones myself.
Conversely...the Ro Sham Bo of arena dueling is equally tedious to me.
I used to spend a lot of time zipping around in the old days on a Mind/Eng Dominator and a Dark/Elec Defender in Siren's Call and I had a blast doing it, but those times are gone. Sadly I don't have the time, energy or inclination to chase after purple set IOs all the time to remain competitive with the min/maxers.
I mostly just feel that without any sort of, I dunno...GM, to referee PvP combat that everything comes down to the engine deciding what happens and that is...meh. I quit playing competitive MtG a few years back for the same reason. Everything comes down to a few builds that dominate everything else. This makes PvP have a very high barrier to competitive entry for a lot of folks, including me sadly. I have a career and other commitments outside the game that have to be dealt with, which reduces the time I have to practice, farm and all the other stuff required to be competitive.
So while I agree with you that Mr. Lvl 14 guy is kind of a dork for picking a fight with the level 50, I just...I don't see arena-based PvP as a really satisfactory solution to that kind of scenario. Then again, most of my lower level toons aren't going around picking fights with the big kids.
YMMV
