How can this ever happen if PVP gear works equally in PVE?
How can we have fast honor gear acquisition if it will compete with raid gear in PVE?
How can we have conquest and honor gear be close in ilvl if it competes with mythic raid gear in PVE?
How can we have casual BG players earn conquest slowly over a season if it competes with mythic raid gear?
I don’t mean entirely separate. In WoD you could still use your PVP gear in PVE, but, rightfully so, it was nerfed for PVE.
If they stay equal, PVP for gearing will always be worse.
