PvP gear system would have been perfect how it is if they used the scaling technology that WoD used for PvP gear.
No way to stay competitive with raiders in PvP unless I want to raid as well. The time gating would have made sense if PvP gear was BiS all the time.
It could have been so simple and amazing.
I don’t think I’ll continue.

Disable gear in PvP and have PvP reward PvE gear, which would and should become the only kind of gear.

I liked pvp better when resilience was the pvp stat. I truly believe it balanced pvp much better and no one from pve had an advantage.

You can’t have PvP gear be on par with PvE gear, however it would be possible if they had separate use like they did in BC.

This game will always cater to the ones who live most of their life on it.
I am sorry man. Good luck.
I remember the day I was playing my shaman (resto) in arathi basin, I was defending the one on the top hill that overlooked blacksmith. Had full resilience gear and 4 people trying to take me down (must have been in pve gear). They weren’t able to do it, man such good times.

Why don’t you think they should do that?
Ive always found warcraft’s peeveepee to be an afterthought. PVP gear that maid you more effective in peeveepee was a good call…now…its crap cosmetics.
It was like that from BC to WoD. WoD had the best PvP gear system imo.
Disenchant your gear and give me the shards. 
I wouldn’t mind seeing pvp templates make a comeback, remove gear stuff in pvp, leave it based on how well you play your class.
Well there are a variety of reasons. I feel content that requires a large amount of players should reward you more than a 3 v 3 as it takes alot of planning to succeed as a 20 man squad compared to a 3 man trio with your friends. Also, PvP not so much on a low elo game, but high elo would be corrupted with alot more win trading between elite pvpers, gold sellers, and mythic world first raiders. It’s even easier when you fight the same team over and over to message them on discord to do shady things, IMO of coarse.
I thought gear wasn’t supposed to make a big difference in PVP anymore.
And by the way, if those raiders are PVPing, they are also PVPers, who obviously like the option of getting their gear elsewhere. They may even outnumber purists like you.
I just don’t understand why they can’t reward PvP with equivalent gear to mid-tier raiding. I get not wanting to give out the mythic raiding stuff, but that’s already limited to just a tiny slice of the population. But making PvP gear garbage or nonexistent is just insulting. It’s like they believe that PvP doesn’t take time or skill… and that, moreover, anyone who puts in that time and has that skill should still be bulldozed by a bored PvE kiddie killing time between raids.
Ironically, I hear a lot of raiders complaining about how they have to do pvp now to gearing effectively.
Personally, I find all aspects of the game fun, each for their own reasons.
That actually was a viable solution.
im on the same boat man, i love pvp this xpac but not enough to do chores, mythics and raiding.
Many folks will take a break. I’m in that camp too.
