I don't think this is the case. If you go back and look at the 3.05 notes when they added the 180 gear its implicitly stated there "Cannot equip if PvP rank is below 50." The 3.2 notes make no mention of a rank requirement (Im guessing the new gear is tied into the feast somehow.)

I could be wrong but sounds to me like rank is going to be nothing more than extra action points
