Seal goes clubbing all the time and he loves it!
In all seriousness, this has been debated since PvP was put into this game. If you want to badge, it's easy enough to find a time when someone isn't in the zone. Most PvPers are pretty decent people and won't farm people if one doesn't act like an entitled person.
There is also badges for PvP kills in zone, so perhaps people are working on those badges just as you are working on explore badges. Maybe one could work out a compromise where you both get the badges you need.
