One other thing to keep in mind is that PvP may be considered biased depending on the "gear" element. That is someone who plays through more endgame and has the opportunity to obtain better arms and armor is going to naturally stand a better chance than one of similar skill who is not as well-armed. Some RPers do a lot of endgame activity. Others don't. I'm not sure how accurate it would be to say that someone in the RP world is stronger or faster because they spend more time doing endgame content than someone who would rather take that same time and RP. So that's another variable.
I'd like to see exactly how PvP is set up before expressing any sort of preference, but my inclination right now is along the same lines as Deirdre and I know we've had some fast-paced and fluid RP sparring matches in the past.
I think for something like duels it could be very interesting and may speed things up - again, so long as both participants are all right with going the PvP route as opposed to other RP methods.
I see merit to both methods.
