They did that in season 1, guess what, much higher pvp participation among all pvp games (Arena, RBG), and you can find a game easily. what about now? LFG 1 hr, no one play.
PVP gear should all be 246 for Honor and 259 for Conquest while in instanced PVP
Item level in other content should be the only thing rewarded by rating.
1400? 259 in pvp. 230 in pve.
1600? 259 in pvp. 237 in pve.
1800? 259 in pvp. 246 in pve.
2100? 259 in pvp. 252 in pve.
Done. Ez clap

2 reasons for the popularity in S1:
-
Unrated PvP players: ilvl gap was not so big because everyone was just beginning the season and conquest gear was hardly available. Once the ilvl gap widened with no chance to obtain it, the unrated players basically quit.
-
PVE players: PvP gear was the best way to gear up for PVE. 9.1 reduced the ilvl to “fix” that.
There is no chance Blizzard will keep PVP as the best way to gear for PVE.
Now that their stupid rating gates are in full swing, PVP gear is nerfed in PVE and the ilvl gap remains, there is no one left but boosters.
I absolutely hate this system and if they can’t get their 
together and remove rating gates, I will not be back.
