Bingo! That is the correct attitude to have. The vast majority of players are PvE type players. I feel that statement is supportable since there are nearly twice as many PvE servers are there are PvP servers. Good or bad, PvE players have been trained to do content for rewards, if there are no tangible rewards, the likelihood of them getting involved is lower. Which means a gear progression based system of some kind.

Are we talking about PvE? no? we are talking about PvP. When did anyone say PvE? Never, just you.

without a resilience type stat raiders would come into warzones and destroy everything around them.

or scale it back a lot, even just the damage reduction isn't the best, then you have people that just stay alive forever and ever and people who are left just running to a slightly slower, but just as inevitable death

like I said, cap it out at 5-10% MAX, perferably like 7% (5% cent, 6% champ, 7% BM), enhance the availability of decent gear after 50...that you transition from level 40ish greens and blues to level 50 epic gear is also a problem.

It still applies in PvE if you are geared you will be stronger than someone who just hit 50 so really you just dont know how to respond to that

only if pvp gave inferior gear, i think most people are assuming pvp and pve would give identical gear

Well, if the intention is to have as many people PVP as possible, the current system will not succeed. Eventually, this PVP system will morph into one that is just as bad as Rift. I am not sure how the rated WZs will work, but they might help to balance the playing field whenever they come out. Until then, players will just have to live with a second-rate system that encourages time over skill. Nothing new for an MMO, but disappointing still.

They are saying that they want PvE and PvP gear to be identical

I obviously agree with that? PvE should be a completely different story. That's one aspect of MMO's that I think SHOULD be based on progression. However, PvP should be based on skill........... Read what I'm saying.
