Does pve gear scale down in pvp?
I have heard that pve gear/trinkets are suppose to be scaled down in pvp instances (bgs,arenas). But I am not sure if this is applied in the server.
I asked some players ingame but they did not give me a clear answer and my gaming experience in the past has shown me that most abuses are never spoken of...
So I am asking on the forums if it is working as intended?
Proof that this isn't random bs:
"better than a pve weapon as pve items are scaled down to 540."

"blizzard noticed it too during MoP and implemented systems late in the aforementioned expansion specifically to combat the issue (scaling pve gear down to 540 in pvp)"

"Also, while in PvP zones, PvE gear has it's item level CAPPED; not sure what it's at right now (probably about 540)"
