Every PVP MMO normalizes gear in PVP

[Shiyo]

GW2(SPVP), WOW arenas(next expansion) both normalize gear in arena setting PVP, because no one likes losing to someone because they slay dragons and you don't. Get with the times SE, I'm sick of losing to people simply due to gear.

No one likes being outgeared in structured PVP and losing due to someone doing 30% more damage than you anymore, keep that in world PVP and out of structured PVP like the only PVP we currently have.

My entire team has to change their entire strategy and playstyle if we're against people in full allagan weapons or full ilvl 70 PVP gear, it's zero fun.

Please add preset gear we can pick from and allow us to pick our melds as well, and make everyone start with 30 AP. This problem will only get MUCH worse as the game ages, and new players will be >>LITERALLY<< unable to stand a chance in PVP against anyone who's been playing for a few months, regardless of skill level.

No... PvE gear should be useless, PvP gear is great! It gives everyone an objective. GW2 SPvP was boring because there was no point in it, nothing to work towards.

Wait, did you just say equalized fair and balanced PVP is "Casual"?

LMAO! Nope!

Try actually working for your gear and goals instead of getting everything handed to you. All you do is complain about everything because you have to work for it Shiyo. If someone puts in the time and effort to gear themselves out properly for PVP they should have the advantage over someone that doesn't. In the end, gear isn't the end all be all. If you are skilled enough and have the teamwork for it you can beat them. But between two equally skilled players/teams, the advantage should go to the team who put te effort into gearing themselves properly for PVP.

No, this isn't 2004 anymore. Gear should NEVER be the deciding factor in PVP, if it is, you need to disable PVP until it's changed.

Says who? You? I love how every thread of your's is spouting your infinite wisdom of the MMO genre. You think any idea you come up with is the end-all be-all argument and is completely infallible.

There hasn't been a single person that agrees with this thread. Get over it.

Your right it's not 2004 it's 2014. Are you submitting the idea that modernize PvP should hand you everything? We play this game for progression not for a quick min "equal" balance. And in-case you haven't done pvp yet, this game's is highly skilled based and situational. I like to play my drg in PvP with mix 60-70- gear and jacking up l90 players with ease.

2nd you're forgetting about the ability based on rank with another progression sink or do you want that to be handed to you? How boring would that be if everything handed to us like as you presented it. Look at Modern Warfare or other first person shooters that just hand you stuff I think that's more on the lines what you're looking for. MMO's are all about progression. Period!
