I actually wouldn't mind PvE at all in Dust. If you look at Eve Online, they also have PvE missions. If Dust is ever to have PvE missions like that then it means those PvE players will be in a semi-open world environment where other players can come in and interact.

This is not being misguided and you know that. If it was, than how is PvE in Eve thriving so far? If you want to continue protostomping players in a lobby environment than Eve-style PvE missions can give you that chance. Eve players do it all the time by scanning down sites used by PvE mission runners and then loot key wrecks that the mission runners need and force them to pay ISK (extortion) for that item so that the mission runner can complete the mission. Some missions in Eve require a certain item to be turned in to be completed within a certain time frame.

PS: Sometimes, you can suicide gank mission runners if their ship happens to be blinged out enough to be worth it.

CCP have said a lot of things, none of which will ever probably exist.

(Maken, please reread both this OP and my CPM OP, I feel bad for you.)

I read them both. I still don't agree with you. Have a nice day.
