(sorry if this has been said before, but i did not read every post)
In order to avoid exploits, remove any xp rewards (and enhancement drops, but not inspirations) from NPCs on every PvP zone (indoor missions not counting), and then remove every kind of debt on the same zones as well.
We will still have to fight NPCs, and we can defeat em and be defeated, but at least people wont have to fear about debt when they are considering about entering the PvP areas. This could increase the PvP population, in my opinion.
