Personally, I don't think it's a matter of PVE players having less rewards than PVP. Even if OP mats are limited to pvp, PVE has the marauder bosses (in theory someone who dislikes any type of PVE world boss content can claim he cannot have access to the best armor in the game).
I think it's more a matter of neutrals specifically being short handed. No access to PR tps is a big deal, and only recently they got 250 TPs with the ranger rite.
And Bittty, the problem I see from a lore standpoint with the Rangers getting involved with pvp is that they're technically neutral in the kami vs kara war. OP wars and supernodes always revolve around kami or karas in some way. Even when maras are involved. So while duels, tournaments and friendly matches may make sense for a ranger, any time they came to compete in an OP war or supernode fight they'd be having to fight against kamis and/or karas.
