I think it's about time you finally came clean and talked to whats left of the community about your plans for pvp and gave us a clear time schedule. Just in case youre busy I shall monitor and bump this thread until I get a satisfactory reply.
So to start things off. Sillirion, please answer each point below. Are we getting any of the following and when, approximate dates are ok.
1. faction based pvp
2. more mini game maps
3. split pvp minigames by pvp level
4. consequence system revamp
5. siege fixes
6. minigame bug fixes
7. old pvp stats reintroduction and more stats
8. towers system
9. alignment system
10. ANY other unlisted pvp content whatsoever
11. No further pvp content

Please, dear game director, rethink the priorities. Only you have the numbers, but you have players who have experience and would be more than happy to present you ideas on a silver tablet.
5+6 should be part of normal game maintenance and covered by your calculations already, so no excuse you are not doing it.
3+7 would be very easy to do and could be worth a try with the option to take them back or just as addition tagable option somewhere.
1+4 would definitely be worth the effort, since even pve focused people could be interested and drawn in it and it could be a self-regulating system that would reduce the effect of the open world gank mess, that drove away lots of reasonable pvpers in the past. I know at least some who would consider rerolling on a pvp system, if there would be a consequence system or factions.
2 can easily be outsourced or done by "copy and paste" with certain solo maps already in the game. Should be doable by one (1!) person and your map editor over one (1!) weekend + maybe a week testing on TestLive. You can even take out some maps that are unpopular or create a "map of the week" rotation there. Or work on a random pvp map creation system (again, some effort, but should be worth it AND could be used for pve random encounters due to travelling as well).
8+10 should have already had some plans or thoughts put into it, so even if you don't like it on its own...maybe combine it with 1+4?
9 could simply be the result of 4 or 1.
