Sadly I don't believe any battles will be viewable, and if they are, people will be running around with the name Fresh Meat, because SE believes we're all terrible ten year old griefers or something?
There'll certainly be some in-game challenges to handle, but like any RP in an MMO, that's almost to be expected. Sadly add-ons aren't out yet, and so we do not have the many wonderful tools that made WoW RP so.. hrm, easy, though I suppose I am mostly thinking of that one add-on that allowed you to create custom items.
There's also the fact that until a /roll command is added to the game, actual in-game currency gambling likely won't be a thing, and even if it were, who knows if people would be interested in such things, and how SE would react to it (there were such things in XI, if I recall correctly, but I do not remember how SE handled them).
So for the foreseeable future we will have to rely on our ~imaginations~ to get us through! And likely all gil exchanging hands will be imaginary, simply because that keeps things at their, well, simplest.
Luckily though, even without seeing the PvP itself, or being a good PvPer, there's plenty of slots to be filled. Like I said, fixers, brokers, medics, even vendors and crafters could all fit in very nicely for those inclined to be on the, hrm, shady side of the whole affair.Â
And then there's a whole load of things the more lawfully-inclined folk could get into.
