PvP rank might need looking at?

[Nalien]

How are real PvPers being forced to waste time buying suboptimal gear? With the Morale changes, PvP gear isn't exactly the sole pieces of gear you'd want in PvP... If you have i110 PvE gear, it's going to be better than i70 or i90 PvP gear, depending on your stats it might even be better than i100 PvP gear... There really isn't a lot of point buying anything more than i110 PvP...

Other than that, the whole point of it is to force people to grind PvP to earn it. That keeps more people in PvP for longer. They are basically a trophy at this point, since gear progression in PvP has basically been abolished.

Well in a perfect world morale makes pvp gear better than pve in den+FL. Since you get a lot of marks and not nearly enough exp to match it means if you want pvp gear for your rank you buy the i80-90 stuff instead of the i110 gear which is the current top end. It's not the case, so the rank system is just forcing grinds where it shouldn't be.

Due to how morale and ilevelsyncing works i100 and i110 pieces have higher stats then i80 and i90 pieces with the same secondary stat ratio.
