All this makes me get pretty upset about a great expansion.
I miss 4.0.6, where you got everywhere bases on skill not who could donate the most. Even if you donated back then it would be to get your Vicious T2 weapon and maybe a trinket depending (HOR for Warr/DK/Pala, Teralions for FroMage, Elesham).
Can we either restrict PvE gear to PvE and WPVP, and let the arena players only play with PvP gear and up to 1 PVE Item (Like VOS (only... no BLF) for Rogues, Kiril for Ferals, Val for Hunter, Gurth for Melee etc)
That would make it semi fair.
