I was under the impression that players could PVE all the way to 50 if they wanted to.

Now if it doesn't it won't stop me from playing but I'm curious to know where you see they can't pve to 50.

I actually canceled my pre-order because the game was unspectacular.

Its most unique feature (being able to fly about) is horrible (wait until you "get" to grind aether), the quests are ALL kill x amount of stuff, get rare drop and the controls are clumsy.

The loot system sucks - whoever deals the most damage gets the loot despite who arrived first (which sounds fair until you realize that healing and tanking classes deal less damage than dps classes).
