I'm a big fan of PVE as I play at work and don't like customers getting me killed. They already make flying and smurfs more dangerous. But I can see that some might look at PVE as a steping stone to PVP. Time to get use to the game, work out how things work before getting killed and teabagged on the beach. Maybe a small PVP island that allow you to be killed but you respawn with your gear and loot. Bases built on the island can be raided. Or have a switch players can hit to make there base raidable.
