    If I see someone in Myth gear, I can safely assume that the person wearing it has probably run primals and dungeons a significant number of times to at least grasp some common battle mechanics in the PvE content to have acquired his gear. If PvP gave out Myth tomes, however, it would be more difficult to tell since now there's a chance that this same player may have put all his time into PvP and obtained his Myth gear that way, thus may be completely inexperienced in PvE party mechanics.

    This is the same reason that I believe it's a good thing high level PvP gear is obtained from PvP only. Just imagine if Coil or Crystal Tower dropped PvP gear; there would be a chance for you to be matched up with someone decked in full Direwolf gear that just gets demolished by the opposing team out the gate because he hasn't gained the same level of PvP experience.

    I understand what you are saying about seeing that someone has experience. but think of it this way. If a player acquired pve gear through pvp, then that person would actually go to a dungeon, and on their first visit they would have better gear that would soften the blow of being inexperienced.

    People grind in MMOs for better gear all the time. And they grind to make it possible to beat hard things, like titan for example. So whats so wrong about grinding and getting better gear...through pvp. Playing with people who are inexperienced is something you cant avoid. its going to happen. and if it happens wouldnt you prefer that the inexperienced player was better suited with better gear, regardless of how he acquired it?
