The reason why frontlines is limiting pvp to i80 at this point in time is to prevent discouragement from players who have not been able to obtain morale gear and those who have been able to.

I defiantly see where you're coming from, but for anything to have any staying power the players participating in it need goals and a sense of progression. Traditionally this is done via gear rewards, but if morale is out of the picture and your ilvl is capped at 80 then there won't be any real progression in Frontlines, even if you are unlocking new gear as you go.

So without progression, people won't play it as much, and 24vs24vs24 will instead become a two hour queue for an 8vs8vs8
