Firstly, I am not hugely in favour of splitting the servers but I think it has been shown to be a hot topic here so Rare must be taking note of it and considering the pros and cons.
I play SoT on PC, but I do own an Xbox One and I'm a fully paid Xbox Live Gold subscriber, so I can see where Xbox players are coming from.
PC players get to play the game online for free (once they've bought the game, naturally) and have a host of other advantages over their console counterparts, so I don't think it's completely unreasonable that Xbox players are asking for these changes. They're paying money to play online and feel, rightly or wrongly, their experience is compromised by PC players.
That said, if Rare were to consider splitting cross platform play, they should have incentives for those willing to play on mixed servers. For instance, those playing on PC/Xbox mixed servers could get more rewards from loot than those playing on single platform servers. And I mean a significant difference so it's more enticing to play cross platform.
Even though it's been shot down a million times (and Rare has said they are not even considering it) the same could apply if they introduced PvE-only servers.
I mostly play PvE and I've not had much problem with the PvP element, it's part of the game, but if people want PvE-only servers, maybe the rewards should reflect the lack of risk.
