What is the purpose of PvP gear?

[Suirieko]

Maybe feast rank rewards are their answer to the current pvp gear situation. and maybe it's the reason why the i205 pvp gear is kinda ugly... They're saving the good looking and useful pvp gear for feast!

The bard and caster pieces are pretty decent looking, actually. I do hate the ninja set though.

Learn to min max.

I hope so and make sense to rank 50

I understand what many of you say about min/max for the secondary stats that can be obtained form PvP gear, I already did that pre Heavensward. However, that doesn't answer why PvP gear has materia slots and there is PvP materia.

How hard would it be for SE to disable pvp gear in pve instances and vice versa?

I almost do pvp only on this game 80% of time, honestly I dont' want to have to grind for pvp too.
It's nice you can use both pvp and pve gear to me.

The fact there's almost no point in using pvp gear in any instance of pvp is 100% stupid and destroys a huge incentive to play pvp.

There's not even ONE pvp mode that's not synced, very disappointing.

Honestly I like to do pvp not because of any kind of grinding (that is just a mechanic to make the game longer and look like a work ._.) but because I like to pvp and I find the content funny.
Anyway I agree that those gear are pretty pintless, kust another full set for all when you can already min/max your stat with a lot of other gear pieces.
I would like to see some base stat different for those gears, or maybe a new pvp-based secondary stat like "Adrenaline Gauge" that make your Adrenaline (or LB for Secure FL) fill faster.

Something that won't be a forced "those stat will be always the best" but that reflect your playstile.

Just my opinion, nothing against you >.<
