    Large scale pvp or objective pvp is a different TYPE of pvp totally. Until you can realize that you wont even understand the rationale at all. One shouldn't depend on the other. They both should have reasons for doing them, and different types of players will do them with some overlap of pvp'ers who like both.
    As I posted in one of these threads, arbitrarily calling arena vs battleground "separate types of PvP" is just a false dichotomy. PvP is PvP is PvP and doesn't matter how you or anyone else feels about it. It's for the same reason that you don't have different gear sets or rules for Coil, CT, Primal fights, FATEs, Guildleves or Guildhests. Because PvE is PvE is PvE no matter the context. I'm not saying that Frontlines should be dependent on the Wolves' Den at all, but rewards earned in ANY TYPE of PvP should apply to any other. Remember, you will be able to earn the same rewards by participating in Frontlines if arena isn't your cup of tea. Arena players are not getting any advantage that Frontlines players can't get themselves by playing Frontlines.

    Take WoW, for example. There was never a situation during the time that I played in which the gear I earned in Arena could not be used in Alterac Valley or vice-versa. Yeah, they may be "separate types" of PvP but they didn't change the rules of play.

    And just to be clear, I'm not an arena junkie. I prefer large-scale PvP. But I think segregating arena vs Frontlines and making them play by different rules is horrid design.
