PVP item available in patch list

[Vortok]

I basically logged in, saw that the 55 stuff was crafted (thought it might not be, lodestone database didn't have HQ toggle when I looked and they're non-convertible), and laughed at how pointless it would be. Who's gonna take the massive weapon damage/main stat hit to use 55 junk when they can use their full i90/i70 stuff to farm the wolf marks to buy the i70 PvP gear. Morale would have to be pretty amazing to be worth the downgrade. New players will have dailies now so they might consider buying the starter gear to replace AF, but the prices will be trash as Aphraell said.

And yeah, mats are cheap and they're easy to make. Only market that'll dry up faster is the furniture market since essentially nobody will be able to afford a house without having access to a crafter to make the related furniture (which are even easier to make). On the plus side, the 50 ARM ability Piece by Piece has crafts it might technically be useful on now, lol.
