Bringing back a suggestion I had forever ago.
Expeditions:
Similar to the other events that happened in the mainland, these would be world announced. 4 NPCs (one on each side of the map) let you access an instanced dungeon.
These dungeons have a small path through the cursed lands, puzzles, a few things that could get you thrown out besides just PVP (like "You need X resource to continue"), etc, and prizes all along the way. At the end, though, is a vault or treasure room of some sort. The vault takes time to open, 5-10 minutes or so depending on how long the dungeon is meant to take in general (so speedrunning isn't always the de-facto way to get ahead).
If someone else arrives there in that time, the opening of the vault stops.
It cannot continue until there is only one party in the area. One party could leave. They could agree to split the loot later afterwards. Or, they could fight.
Considering any number of people might go through at the same time, there could be numerous dungeons just like this. They might be linked to someone else's. They might not be just because of an uneven number, RNG, or the other group dropped out much earlier. But it adds that LITTLE splash of PVP into the game for some mechanical reward without making it a huge grind-fest.
Which, if I could just PVP for rewards then I would do what too many people did when Korvara first started and rapid fire combat over and over with agreeing parties like people did for EXP.
