Do you mean the Monster Play is an inadequate kind of PvP? Not challenging
your opinion, just trying to clarify.

From what I have read about it, it seems to be a mere "just for fun"
activity. The PvP system of WoW offered access to special "titles" and
ranks, items, and even different types of mounts. The competition was much
like a sports event, though time investment counted for more than "skill".
That doesn't made it "healthier", but I think it did give people very
specific goals (an item, a rank, a mount) to work towards to. There
were/are plenty of flaws with Blizzard's honour and arena system, and it
took them long, perhaps too long, to address some earlier issues.

Challenging my opinion is perfectly all right! It only is an opinion, equal
to all other opinions out there. When I criticise LOTRO (or rather, express
that I don't feel that it's a significant step up from WoW or a step in the
direction I would like MMORPGs to go), I am not criticising those who enjoy
the game, and I'm not saying that it isn't a fun and enjoyable game. I just
don't feel it has anything to offer to *me* that would justify the time and
money investment.
