Lets face it Wolves den was a bit... Meh and it got to a point where soo many people were doing trade wins to get decked out in PVP gear it just became pointless to play because they always had the advantage! I'm not saying everyone did this but unless you started Wolves den from when it was released, going into a match as a casual player was just painful and a waste of time.

If PVP gear stats worked in Frontline it would be the same.. people would get bored of constantly loosing to the decked out people and stop playing. As it is curently, its lots of fun because its balanced and everyone is capped to the same level.
