There is really no focus on PvP is there...

Hey Guys,
I just hit 60 today after playing on the actual release (no headstart). So, as you can tell it's pretty rapid levelling if you go for it, which I did. I enjoyed PvPing up to 60 and I still enjoy it now, I'm a strong PvPer and would like to say I excel at it more than anything else.
This brings me to my one and only issues with Neverwinter so far. There seriously is no focus on PvPing at end-game. We have the same map as level 1 and access to 5 pieces of gear (including a weapon), and that's it. The gear is easily obtained. Around 10 games per piece of gear. Therefore, no sense of achievement is awarded.
Oh, onto achievements... Wait, there isn't any. No PvP achievements? No PvP titles? No 'Killed X Players'... Nothing. Come on, give us something. Even if you put something silly in like 'Kill 100000000 players', it'll be something we can work towards. PvP titles would be amazing.
Balance at the moment is an issue, I'm sure you're aware of that. When people read 'X is overpowered', to the community, please be aware that if you're not 60, you will not be able to relate. Even if your 59, it's completely different at 60. You get one shot left right and center, and I'm semi PvP geared. Crits of 25k+ aren't rare.
Overall, I'm enjoying the game, I rushed to 60 and there isn't much going on at the moment apart from PvE and the rare pugs for dungeons. I'd just like to see something from you guys to say 'yes, we know people enjoy our PvP and we will work to enhance the experience for all players, be it PvE or PVP'.
Cheers.

Ask your self one question. Why does PWE have over 10 MMO's and Blizzard only 1? Hell, even SOE has like 4-5 (and keep in mind that they only made Everquest 2 trying to rival WoW. Everquest 1 had too much complexity and timesinks to appeal to the average MMO player)
As for additional pvp content. Don't count on it. I will be amazed if they add anything.
Well really, cryptic is the one who puts out the updates and fixes. PWE just hosts the game and controls the zen market.

Because PWE bought Cryptic who made three? Perfect world isn't a developer, it's a publisher. Big difference really. Most of the games they released were made by others in Asia, then there is Cryptic who made STO, CO, and this, Runic Games made both Torchlights, then there is MAIET Entertainment, Zombie Studios (based in Seattle, by the way), Windysoft, and i'm probably forgetting a lot of the more obscure Asian developers. That is why PWE has so many games, and Blizzard only has one? Did you forget Diablo 3, Starcraft 2, World of Warcraft, Upcoming Mystery MMO, that card battle game, not to mention all the legacy games?
Then you better hold onto your hat, Gauntgrym is already in daily quests, and it's a PvP zone, 20v20, and seems to have dungeon unlocks based on who wins. (sort of like Wintergrasp and that other zone in WoW).
I am a huge MMO PvP fan and was just considering starting up this game. I've seen PvP get sidelined pretty quickly in a lot of MMOs, or even if it's great have major bugs cough *SWTOR*cough. Since Neverwinter is F2P I'm really hoping it goes for simple but solid. Obviously the OP's opinion on PvP is pretty straightforward but I was wondering if the community had anything to say else to say? Sorry I'm kind of hijacking this thread, I'm new to the forum so they won't let me create my own. If anyone is willing to create a thread discussing the state of PvP it would be greatly appreciated.
I forgot to add this to the OP. This, indeed, looks like a great addition to the current state of PvP.

In relation to the points I'm making in the thread, you don't understand unless you're 60. Nothing to do with the game, it's to do with my standing on my points.

I am glad about this.
Your post is a good example of today's generation always wanting to be rewarded. But hey, whatever works.
Takes 20 hours to get to 60. Game has been in Open beta for over 3 weeks.
The next big content patch has a 20v20 PVP zone. They have also stated many times that class balance is something that's a priority.
you don't. At level 60 you have no more quests to do other than the handful of dailies and grinding for gear/enchants as well as the endless hunt for AD. Yes, I do mean "handful of dailies" as you can count the dailies available currently (not counting the 3 gauntlgrym dailies as the zone is not implemented yet) on one hand. The game isn't less fun at 60, it's just different, with different goals, objectives and obstacles on top of whatever you had in mind while leveling up to 60. Next time you're in game, hit the auction house and look up weapon/armor enchants. Greater soulforged/lightning/plaguefire and rank 9 eldritch runestones, rank 9 radiant/dark/azure enchantments....the cost will make your head swim.
Throw on top of the situation I just laid out for you the lackluster PVP that we have one daily for to get a miniscule fraction of AD we all need, you're nearly forced to pvp at least 4 times a day. If the pvp system/mechanics are broken and everyone is almost required to do it daily....there's going to be some sand in people's va-j-j's.
