Have you any evidence at all that PVE'ers are responsible? Honestly mate, I don't think you'll find many of them doing anything in Cyrodil other than delves and the quests. And how exactly does having competition ruin a competitive campaign? That really doesn't make much sense.
That said, I wouldn't mind seeing the buffs gone. I am not now, but I had been trapped on a buff server for another faction and that sucks on several levels. If it would balance out buff campaigns I fully support the idea.
But PvE heroes are not to blame, and you're not going to convince many people that they are... Your argument really falls apart before you even get started, OP.

Of course I was joking a bit to get a point across. People playing while the majority of the player base sleeps is just something that's hard to deal with from a game design perspective, not to mention that I personally don't think it has to be dealt with.

Kris, while we don't know one another personally we've met a few times in Cyrodiil and had brief discussions in Arena before you left. From that I can say that you know this is not the case with me, but it is perhaps unsurprising you came to defend this given the recent behaviour of EP in TB. I accept the fact that some people will play outside of the hours I am able to play and in this time keeps will be taken. I further accept (although do not agree) that certain guilds or factions may choose to do this at a time where there is little or no competition from enemy players. This is unfortunate, but a reality that is somewhat more difficult to solve than the issue with PvE players. Remove their buffs, and the incentive for them to maintain a buff campaign is gone and a campaign can remain at least slightly more competitive. It at least eliminates part of the problem.
Having said all of that, this is something that ZOS have more or less confirmed will be happening anyway but is being delayed by a UI bug that they haven't yet been able to fix. I'm pretty sure @ZOS_BrianWheeler brought this up somewhere. Therefore this is a virtual inevitability, I am just asking them to hurry up and get it done.
