This was the statement that was given to the players before the expansion launched. And honestly, I feel lied to.
I've played both sides of the fence in Legion and I have to say that PvE gear stands tall above PvP gear any day of the week. It's easier to obtain, seems to have a higher chance at Titanforging, has actually set bonuses and functions better than PvP gear out in the world in PvP and PvE.
They didn't even give PvP gear quality stats to work with. They just slapped Versatility as one of the main stats when it absolutely means nothing in a system that normalizes all your stats in instanced content.
They really need to rework how you obtain PvP gear and give them proper stats. If they do that, then PvP and PvE gear will almost be on the same level.
PvPers weren't the target audience for the "gear is gear" change.
Blizzard knows we were already happy with the previous system.
The goal was to get more PvE players to start doing PvP without having to farm a separate set of PvP gear.
Basically these Diablo devs are so dumb that they don't even remember how problematic it was gearing for PvP in vanilla, where you basically weren't viable unless you queued BGs 16+ hours a day every day for months, or you did raid content to get gear.
