Regarding PvP gear, I agree that the system is not the best. The random loot is a bit annoying, but the grind isn't nearly as bad as WoW. True, you can get lower end pvp gear after a few hours of BG'ing, but it takes months to get a full set of TOP END gear (i.e. arena gear).
If anyone thinks that getting geared in this game is hard, they need to get their head checked.
