I think everything is speculation until the mechanics of PvP are released. I cannot comment for myself which method I think would be better, and I think either PvP or strict "texting it out" (possibly with the aid of /random) will be left to the preference of those involved in the fight.
In either case, I think it's one of those things that would need to be agreed upon by all parties involved OOCly beforehand, no matter which method is used.
But that's also my own opinion, and the methods for RPing combat are going to be very dependant upon the values and preferences of those involved.
I will say, though, that having another avenue for RPing combat like PvP is exciting and I'm looking forward to seeing how it's implemented. But what I predict you'll find is that those with leanings more towards endgame or who PvP regularly outside of RP will probably prefer this method while those who shy away from it will likely prefer to run through things in emotes. Still... more options definitely is a great thing!Â
