You don't understand it seems - that's the issue with development not understanding local game mechanics yet making all decisions without consulting active players - it's not about PvP, it's about interaction with law-breakers and lawfuls. You were never good or enjoyed that playstyle, believe it or not, many people do, most of all new players.
Log, patrol, RP, chat about current developments, and interact with people organically, the PvP is actually something that makes the experience worse in many cases, especially for the RPers/new guys that get shot down by aces that log in kill and log off.
