    The problem with equalized gear is simple, there's no reason for me to really do Frontlines. I like gearing up and getting stronger, it's why I play mmos more than single player games lately. Since my weekly progression in pve is limited by lockouts, and I always end up with very little to do by the end of a patch's life, I was hoping this would be my long-term time sink.

    I was really looking forward to Frontlines as a long lasting and fun way to grind and gear up for pvp and thus be competitive by having better gear. This just punishes people who actually enjoy pvp and want to put time in to it and benefits only people who might do just a few matches a week and who have no dedication to it.

    It's like if I was given a super robotic suit to play basketball with NBA players. Would that be fair to them? no because they trained hard to get where they are and it removes a majority of the competitiveness from the game.

    We don't even know the rewards for doing Frontlines (a horse mount is likely one of them though by the looks of it) so there may be a reason or 2....or 3 that you or I aren't aware of yet to participate. Playing for fun would be good enough for me though I do like incentives. You enjoy the gear aspect of PvP and I respect that. To me there's nothing wrong with making something for the masses, and who knows what the future will bring for the Wolve's Den? As to your whole NBA...whatever you wanna call it, not really sure how this is even relative...
