    The reason it is disabled during pvp is probably so that people can't hide their PvP armor with PvE armor. A common tactic in other mmos that don't hide vanity options was to change all their PvP gear to look like PvE gear so people would be like lets go for the guy using all that PvE gear only to have a hard time killing that player because he has tons of def from player attacks from his PvP gear.

    Though in frontlines, PvE gear is to be preferred to PvP gear because Morale won't be in play.

    I'm all for vanity in Frontlines, but in arenas I'm on the fence about.

    Source?

    On topic: Everyone has said it already. Vanity can cause confusion, and that's why it shouldn't be allowed.

    Q: What are the level requirements?
    A: The only requirement to participate is that you are level 50.

    For Frontline, we've implemented a new system referred to as "item level sync." We're still making final adjustments as to whether we will sync to item level 80 or 90, but if you wear equipment that is higher than this, it will be synced automatically. Additionally, the morale stat utilized in the Wolves' Den will not be used here, and fights will take place on a completely even playing field. However, you'll still be able to use PvP actions, and I believe this is where differences will develop. In the future we may utilize item level sync for different types of battles such as time attacks.
