>open world PVP
Dead concept. All PVP mmos die the same deaths - either everyone joins the biggest alliance there is and 90% of open world PVP disappears, or if it's a game with factions everyone transfers to servers where their faction is winning until every server is 90% winning faction.
Honorable mention for suicidal option - casuals leave because hardcore players farm them, then hardcore players leave because there are no casuals to farm.

There is also a mental barrier of personal responsibility. A lot of players self doubt themselves and would rather avoid PF content than risk being a liability.
