Honestly, I think they need to work out some issues with PvP. You can't expect the same system for PvE to work out just as well for PvP. As it is now, it's mainly all the players attacking the healers, and whoever's healer dies first loses. I play a healer, so it's mostly running around until I either die or we win, casting as much instant stuff as I can while running away. Or it's a status effect war. I think sleep lasts for 30s, so if you get put to sleep, good luck making a comeback.
There are ways to build resistance to status effects and abilities you can get later on that are more tailored for PvP, so it's a bit early to judge it. I've also heard a lot of people who play DPS classes say that they like it, so I'd say it mainly depends on your preference, but this is also just the beginning of PvP. They have already stated that they plan to make adjustments to PvP in future patches including making it so you can go 8 vs 8. It's a bit hard to get things perfect in the initial release of something like this. And it's a bit hard to say how exactly it will pan out so soon after the initial release of it.
But don't let PvP be the sole determiner on whether to pick up the game or not. PvP is is just a small part of the total content, and there are many great things besides PvP. There's almost endless content. Especially if you start now, you'd have to devote most of your time every day to get everything done. But at the same time, you can get to the end game content in the 30-day trial included when buying the game fairly easily.
If you have the time to devote to the game, I'd say it's well worth the money. If you play an avg. of 2-3 hours/day, you're at 60-90 hours of entertainment for only $12.99 per month with the 180 day subscription. This seems like a great deal to me. That's similar in price to going to the movies or something, but you get so many more hours of entertainment. And like I said, you'd have to be playing a lot more than this to run out of things to do. But if you only have 1-2 hours/week to play, an MMO like this is clearly not for you.
