So I’ve been talking to a few friends and read up on the topic. It seems like if I do not invest a lot of time into the game to get into the raids and get my toon geared, I might as well just not play. It looks like out-gearing someone with Vanilla numbers gives you an almost certain ability to delete your opponent.
Is this true? Is there any hope for non-raider PvPers? I also see there is some PvP gear, but it seems that unless you invest an extreme amount of time, the odds of acquiring the good gear are quite low.
