True, but it was well known that it was coming to PvE servers.
Being a part of a GvG-oriented guild when you yourself do not want to GvG is just asking for trouble because you're being expected to do something you don't want to do (again, expectations).
I'm not saying you're not loyal for not wanting to GvG; I'm just saying you're not doing your guild any favors. Your interests are different than theirs in a fundamental, game-changing way.
My solution is simple: Form guilds based on what they want to do. If they want to have GvGs going every day of the week, there should be guilds to cater to these people. If there are people who're up for GvGing only once a week or every other week, there will be guilds to cater to these people.
To suggest that players should be able to opt-out would kill what already little GvG already takes place by decreasing the activity even further and creating a disproportionate amount of activity between guilds that are trying to participate in this feature.
In your Vanarchy example: Giving you an opt-out would mean your guild most likely losing Vanarchy. Trust me, that will cause drama. You're choosing not to help your guild do their best, and most guilds have people who will call out the slackers. That will be a lot more drama than there is now. I also don't think GvG is necessary to win vanarchy, but rather, it is one of the ways to win. It's a bit naive to assume you know how something that's not yet implemented is going to work and complain about it. At least wait until you see it in practice before whining.
I'll say it again anyway though: If you don't want to GvG, join a guild that doesn't want to GvG. In any other case, you're just asking for trouble because expectations will always differ (whether you're allowed to individually opt-out or not) and this will always cause drama.
Those of you saying "you're weakening your guild and being selfish by not participating" are begging the question in the worst possible way: when the guilds were set up, GVG wasn't an option, ...
