Sadly, I have yet to see any game where PvP enthusiasts are respectful of PvE players; Ryzom is as close as I've seen and even it has a bit of elitism from some of the PvP enthusiasts. I think that for PvP to even be viable, you have to fix that.
If anything, there is disrespect toward pvp players.
Atys has two environmental conflicts (Kitins and Goo), four nations, many tribes, two official religions, and two organizations. There is plenty of room for cooperation and conflict -and sometimes conflict progresses into fighting.
