Anyone else find it kind of funny that PvE has had the advantage traditionally in games, with generally the better gear for PvP coming from PvE..And here we are now, with the possibility of PvP holding some sort of exclusive advantage? Just me?

That's just the way of the internet.

Not just you And after hearing all the other arguments and points I kind of see how this can be justified for the setup of the game. Not that I care too much about it personally, I'm a pretty wide minded player that enjoys both PvP and PvE. But I like playing devils advocate sometimes

I dont see much of an advantage or disadvantage, all I see is solid approach how to blend PvP and PvE, homogenous gear being the base of it. There was never any real justification behind separation of those two game elements
