Personally, I hate PvP because of the people that it attracts. People act as if they're the elite of the elite because they can deal enough damage to kill my squishy PvE blaster. It does nothing but encourage trash-talking because they know you can't reach through the screen and slap them.
I was in Warburg where an Energy/something Tank was teamed with his Mind/Emp Troller brother. The Emp would sit in the water, where it was safe, and whenever his nigh-invincible brother would get in hot water, they'd run for each other, heal, buff, and then the emp would hit the water, and the tank would go about with his Energy Transfer/Build Up one-hit-kill. Oh, and calling them on this cheese-ball abuse of the zone was referred to as "whining".
PvP brings out the absolute worst in people, especially with an unbalanced system. PvPers ignore the enemies in the zone in a relatively pointless battle of rudeness. I always felt that the purpose of a game is to have fun, not make everyone else around you feel like garbage.

Wow, a bias due to ignorance? No, that can't be.
You may find it easy to generalize a "PvPer" simply by listening to the ingenuity of the majority "I r l33tr than u n00b l2pvp" (Oh the intelligence), but I find it easier to spot a hypocritical naysayer criticizing every player for conceited attitudes and the annoyance of bragging without addressing the problem reasonably. You have the option of complaining about it by arguing with weak points (You get killed by class "x" [Add in multiple variables, such as: how quick you were killed, how they survived better, how they ran away then came back for the assassination, etc] so you hold a personal vendetta against the class and game's intended design whether it be balanced or not). In proper terminology, that is considered "whining" even while you contradict the problem.
Every game with any relatively working PvP system have people who define egotistical behavior by seeing how they act, but you (and people who also think alike) fail to compensate for the inappropriate use of logic. Every form of competition against other humans is based on personality; You could be the guy who lost, then started posting about your hatred against a certain type of people, or you could be the guy who lost, but keeping his cool and walking it off (accepting the outcome). In the end nobody, but people with the same grudges, cares.
It's not the players fault for choosing an overplayed class in order to compete in PvP here, especially if they solely emphasized on PvP.
If the idea of PvP bothers you and hinders the fun, don't participate in it. You may find that statement repetitively told by even the most simple minded being, but it's effective in the sense it actually works in preventing the prevailing misery.
Whose the elitist here? Right.
