Hey Guys,
I'd just like to raise the point that PvP gear provides enough gearscore to enter the end-game dungeons. Therefore, people can farm PvP and still have the gear to PvE efficiently which personally, I don't agree with. A simple fix for this, besides having a defined difference between PvE and PvP gear would be to increase the glory price of the items stopping people spending days to farm the gear to PvE and just PvE instead. People who farm the PvP gear should WANT to PvP in it, not get a shortcut into PvE.
Cheers.

What has money got to do with PvP and PvE gear...
PvE Enthusiast.
Bind on Equip. They want gear to be cheap enough that people can sell it to other players after they are done farming theirs for AD profit. Constant stream of zen to AD conversion = money in PW pockets. That's the cynical view of course could just be an honest misunderstanding of how easy it is to get multiple full sets of pvp gear, but I doubt it.
This^
Working as intended.
i'm not sure if the amount of glory per match changes at max level or not, but, i'm in the 39 bracket. did two PVP matches, won both and won one with the glory increase; i have around, idk, mid-400ish glory. i think i got around 180-ish for the non-daily win.
that means it'd take, roughly, anywhere from 15-25 matches per PVP piece, since most pieces seem to hover around the 4k margin. i don't think increasing the price it the right choice. you also have to consider that PVP gear seems to only be equivalent to T1 PVE gear.

Most people pvp because it's always a cheap and fast way to get some of the best endgame gear in every game. Much easier than doing dungeons. You even get rewarded for failing!
I avoid PvP because quite frankly, it is frustrating to me. Plus I like to enjoy the PvE content. Mad Dragon was a far more satisfying victory for me than I think I would ever get out of PvP. But back on topic.
Good gear only gets you so far.

If I have done all of the PvE content, perhaps I would prefer to play PvP on my alt to gear them up and then start my dungeoneering experience.
Furthermore good gear does not denote player skill.

I don't know id probably rank it above t1, it would probably be anywhere from t1.5 to t1.8 (if such a sub tier would exist, scratch what i previously said pvp gear is borderline t2 tier). The pvp weapons are so good they are almost at t2 rank.
I know i won't be farming the t2 weapon's for a miniscule 11 higher weapon damage which costs about 200 seals to get that 11, but that's just me. Unless your really looking for certain stats depending on what feats you chose.
I personally don't care if they are cheap to get or you can sell them. PvP always blows, especially when it's a bunch of rouges, CW and a healer, and half your team is afk. Heck, i only ever do it here when i have the dailies and pray i get the extra count so i have to only do it twice. PvP grinds are far worse in my eyes than any quest grind ever is, especially with any balance issues. Then add in when you need the gear to even survive, ugh.
My thoughts exactly. To be perfectly honest, PvP is hardly ever "balanced" in my experience.

What game are you playing where pvp gear gets u 11k gear score? it may be different per class but i have all the pvp gear + epic neck and rings, blue waist and green shirt/ pants (neck, rings, waist pants and shirt cant be gotten from pvp) and im at 9200gs with enchants
I agree with OP
The new 60 PvP should reward players with higher stat pvp gear but charge ridic amounts of glory. Like 20k for a chest piece.
now secondly, you're <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font> for overlooking the fact that even the t1 gear is itemized for pvp far better than the pvp gear.
stop whining.
im pretty sure the vast majority of players disliked the vanilla wow and aion style of game that was "oh you hit 60? go farm 50-55 dungeons for 2 weeks before you do any epic content'
that's a horrible and dying/dead system, PWE has made alot of mistakes with NW, this is not one of them.
back to op, i agree, make pvp gear harder to get
and for god sakes add a pvp stat.
and make gauntlygrm give right side gear, and GIVE US STRUCTURED 5v5 MATCHES.
and maybe arena rating required gear, or not.
As was stated gear does not denote skill.
If a player can get fully geared doing PvP then I can doing PvE...............who cares? You're both reaching the same goals doing what you enjoy most.
God forbid someone you don't even know can perhaps do it faster since, you know, that directly harms your PvE experience.
Oh wait....it doesn't.
