Wow, what epic fail on the PvP. 2.25 is supposed to increase PvP participation, presumably by reducing gear gaps and adding incentive for newer PvP players...

... and instead literally the only change is to make the gap even larger.

They really have no idea what they are doing. PvP is doomed to continue to fail horribly in this game, and I say this as a fairly hardcore PvP player in other games.
