I won't say much, and let you read it for yourself. One thing caught my eye though...

How is the war being brought back to World of Warcraft in relation to PvP?
Tom Chilton - Well, the best answer to that is that we’re very deliberately trying to get people back out into the world, and so that means on a PvP realm, you’ll have more people to kill that are out in the world. Generally speaking, the most fun outdoor PvP is just the spontaneous conflict that happens as a natural result of people being out in the world. It’s not the stuff the designers create for you.


Also, they're looking at changing major cities' guards strength and respawn time on PvP realms, something I've seen complained about a lot on ED.


EDIT: Sorry, I keep finding little interesting things. "If that’s not enough though, we have an item that we’re adding to the game that players will be able to use from the ground that makes it possible to dismount a flying enemy player (within a reasonable range and PvP flagged). We’re still discussing the particulars of how this item will be available."

That moment you realize that games are supposed to be played for fun, being their own reward through enjoyment rather then what new toys you get.

I'm sure a lot of doe-eyed game developers have that same philosophy right out of tech school, but it's completely impractical with today's expectations for a game--especially an MMO.  People want gear that has higher numbers or just plain looks awesome; cosmetics can be a major driving factor in a game.  It would be nice if it didn't take forever to grind out gear but it does so you can play longer and they can fuck you on the subscription and ipso facto almost every MMO that has come out since WoW has been complete shit.
