Big mistake. PVP is supposed to be about skill not gear. Now having alts for PVP is that much less appealing since I have to BM grind each one before participating in rated warzones.

Your logic might apply when they add cross-server PVP. For 1.2 however, the *reality* is that ELO will not fix the fact that most servers have only so many active PVP queues going at any one time.

I don't see the big deal here.

They made the right decision. If it were me, and they would've introduced rated PvP gear with no valor requirements, time-spent or needing to swap BM for WH I would've just quit the game.

You can't have both Story and PvP at the same time. Either you level multiple characters to 50 and lack in PvP/PvE content or level 1 character like most people do and excel in PvP/PvE.

I have no problem with this. After all this is an MMO not a FPS. You need gear to be good. If you can't stand the grind, then you just wont have the gear. I don't mind the grind and will have my gear. I will see you in the warzones.

Good call BW.

Anyone who spent a large amount of time/effort (yes) getting BM gear will not feel like it was for nothing.

Exactly, this isn't call of duty. Skill helps in this game, but if you want to be the bully on the playground you have to put in the hours to get the gear.

So you think it would be fair for a fresh 50 to go from crap gear to War Hero gear? At least there's no stupid RNG bag involved in getting War Hero.
