I prefer the analogy of.. Only the Yankees can use steriods.

People are raging because of a dmg buff/reduction of maximum 10%? Pvp gear is accessible to everyone and the T2 pvp set is fairly easy to obtain. If you're scared of getting facerolled by someone who has battlemaster/champion, get a buddy to help you. PvP is a TEAM based game, you can win huttball by positioning yourself on the right places. Voidstar = Harass. Alderaan, create a patrol group. I won voidstar against a group 50's with me as a little lvl 38 sorc as highest lvl in my team. Skill still takes a priority. It took blizzard almost 3 years to get resi in the same condition as expertise.

What you're doing here is hand-waving an obvious flaw.

The issue is readily apparent. I'm on a gimped class, owning people, because of the gear I have on. Seriously if you put my 50 Jugg up against a 50 Trooper in equal PvP gear....I flat out die cause I can't go one vs one against gravround+Kolto Field and Expertise, I just don't have the DPS or ability to survive it. Same Trooper in level 50 PvE gear? He'll die trying to kill me. Cause he can't damage me enough, even though hes throwing tech damage at me and I'm completely gimped against tech damage right now til someone at BWA figures out what they did wrong in regards to resists. And in your view thats good? Cause in my view its blatant evidence that Expertise trumps everything. And having one magic stat trump everything in PvP is ridiculous. If you ensure end game PvP and end game PvE gear does not outpaced each other in gear rating, then everyone has the same equal chance in both scenarios, and you're not penalized in PvP because you spent your game time doing PvE, or vice versa.

That is, unless they don't actually care about progressing their characters and they only care about having an unfair advantage over others.
