And if people simply didn't post ideas out of fear of reprisal from the community, well, that's just absurd. Just because you don't like something doesn't mean you have to plaster your preferances all over an idea or concept for fear of it making it in the game.
When things like that happen, it pretty much stops being a community.

To address your first point, I think the most we've seen so far out of SOE regarding PvE in PS2 (lol acronyms) is that they're considering it. We've seen virtually nothing in terms of details or even what they mean by PvE. So to say that either PvE or an advanced AI amounts to a "large feature" might be grasping at something that isn't there, at least for now.
I'm more inclined to believe, given how little information we've seen, that it is by no means too late to say, "We don't want PvE. Don't invest resources in it."
As for your second point, I think you started this thread with the question: "How would you like to see PvE work?" and the response you got from most people was, "We don't." That may not have been the response you were hoping for or expecting, but its certainly not an invalid one. The community, as it is limited to these forums, is telling both you and SOE that we don't want to invest any time thinking about how to implement PvE and we don't want to see SOE investing the time either. At the very least, not now.
