I'm pretty strict on pvp requirements :-
1) Each fight must last long enough to allow each fighter to anticipate and have the chance to counter his enemy. (Aion may have this im not sure)
2) The combat log must be of sufficient precision that you can check whether the devs have their maths and spell effects right. (not sure if Aion has this)
3) The entire combat system and all formulas must be disclosed (Regnum is about 75% of the way there).
4) The pvp balance system must be closed and not open. By this I mean there must be a clear limit to the extent to which you can upgrade weapons or skills. I don't beleieve Aion has this. I suspect in Aion that you can upgrade for ever. This makes it impossible to verify whether the enemy player is cheating in some way and you will never get a benchmark for even pvp. You will always assign reason for the outcome to "oh i must grind more" and not "oh i need to use my skills better".
