I'm a bit confused. Everything I've read speaks to them shrinking the gulf between PVE and PVP gear, but I don't see where this "one set" idea is coming from. Each set will still edge the other in it's respective field. You'll still acquire PVP gear from PVP and PVE gear from Dungeons and Raids.

Personally, I used to PVP quite a bit when I could realistically battle in my PVE gear. Now that I can't, I never do. I just don't have the time or desire to grind out another set of gear, and don't enjoy getting trounced in PVE gear.

For clarity TimR, this is not news, or even where I think Mists will be heading. It's just an interesting topic, which I thought merited discussion.

Hope that clears it up! They've been very clear that this isn't what's coming in Mists.

Ah, I see.

Personally I like the direction they seem to be taking things. As I said above, I got very frustrated with the barrier to entry with PVP as it stands right now, and I think the new system coming in Mists sounds promising.

I do think there is value in having a bit of difference in gear, though. I want to be viable at PVP in my PVE gear, but I don't expect to be the best. Someone that solely PVP's should be rewarded with great PVP gear, and beat me in PVE gear, all other things being equal.
