Is there a reaso pvp’rs get trolled by their gear especially vs pve? That “item level boost “ does nothing for giving advantage in PvP. Especially when you meet someone similar in pve. They have the same health as you still, just as much or better stats. Plus numerous gear slots that can give crazy at times damage bonuses or burst. Seems like the only reason PvP gear bonuses exist is to troll/one shot in bgs when you’re full conquest geared vs honor gear. Otherwise conquest gear is a complete joke in the open world. What gives 
You’re literally boosted to ilvl 639 which is equivalent to the highest PvE ilvl (mythic raid). Thats the advantage you get, and very rarely are you going to meet someone in PvE who has full ilvl 639. If I had to guess, it’s probably less than 1-2% of the player base. They’d still get rolled though because they likely have no Versatility.
It’s to give PvP players access to high ilvl gear without forcing us to do content like mythic raiding, and because said gear only activates in PvP combat, it’s doesn’t make PvE players feel required to get it since it won’t do anything for them in PvE.

Are you talking about the automatic gear upgrade in PvP content, the manual upgrades you do at the vendor or the tier bonuses?
You seem to mix terms in a confused way.
