Nah, pvp-gear wont be attainable till way later meaning there is no point for pvpers to attend to this server.
Dunno how they're thinking tho since this new server is a desperate attempt to get some of the lost population back and yet they do this?
Why kill off the entire PvP hype with this shit? Dont hide behind 'not blizzlike' there are plenty of things that has been not blizzlike. Last Elysium server there is still 58 shitgear, dont kill pvp even harder here, comon now.
