It's pretty much impossible to win-trade in FL due to the sheer amount of people required who all have to be in the correct GCs.

Also, there ARE mounts and titles achieved by completing PVP objectives (victory, kills, node kills and tomelith occupation to name a few). The only thing you don't get is the rank 50 gear, and achieving rank 50 is easy if, as many in this thread have pointed out, you actually ENJOY PVP and aren't just interested in being "rewarded" for doing it.

You don't need a PhD to comprehend this, mate. PVP gear is mostly meant as a glamour badge to showcase to the world that hey, that player is pretty dedicated to PVP. Allowing players who don't commit the time to PVP in that manner to wear the same gear is disingenuous.
