Okay, so... questions for those who've done PvP far more than I:

1. Since you're not going to have PvP-based gear/skills/etc when you first start out, how would you deal with that?
2. Does the Duty Finder pair you up with/against people of similar gear types? Like, for example, will I end up getting a fully PvP-gear decked person in a random DF queue, or will I at least be able to fight people I'd have a chance against, stat wise?
