Except that I'm not, I have I70 pvp gear. If you would have checked lodestone when you posted this you would have seen i logged out in a few pieces (I have more but when im in town i wear a set that makes me look the way I want). So no, I'm not under prepared. -However- PvP gear has made little difference from i90 gear for healer. And most people in PUGs seem to get killed within seconds (faster than i can necessarily get any non-auto heal off), so sometimes i do PvP -partly- in PvE gear if it helps. I generally switch around at the start of the fight depending on who's in it and what expectations I have.

And to the PvPers out there, this dungeon lasts for 3 minutes, and there is no prerequisite that magically allows you to come up with the 10,000 or so wolf marks you need to purchase pvp gear. When PvP first came out the elite Pvpers were either in the low level warwolf (which didn't really help much) or in their normal gear.

For a dungeon you have to wait 30min sometimes to get in, and then are stuck for 90 min without being able to leave unless you want a 30min debuff
For PvP i've never had to wait more than 10min (even on dd jobs), you can die immediately, and still get rewarded.

If you want PvP to be this magically elite game where only people in i70 pvp gear+ are allowed to play, then petition SE to turn it into a tiered system that slots you based on your pvp ilvl.
As they didn't do that it's fair to say "working as intended"
