Running my event, without it. Roughly helped me get 20-30 people into PvP.

Runningy event with an ilvl cap, attracted roughly 150 people to my link shell in 3 weeks. Had very, very good feedback from all involved except those who wanted to use their gear as a crutch for the reasons they were losing.
See my previous post. I am asking under the assumption the morale is removed, but even if it wasn't, it was covered under all other variables being equal. So the only difference is the AP points. Sorry if I'm missing it, but I don't see how you are accounting for this discrepancy when making the teams.
