You're still going to progress the exact same. Just some people will be a higher level with better gear for a while, but it doesn't matter because they have 0 interaction with you.
PVE is a casual test server? Not sure what to say to that.
As for the other argument, that's like arguing that Diablo 2 Ladder resets are purposeless since it's primarily a PVE game. People wouldn't have any incentive to start fresh characters on the new ladder if other people could just copy their characters from non-ladder to the new ladder. They would just play on a different server where the new ladder starts everyone fresh.
