New PvP
Not going to happen.
The whole point of sPvP is to have a PvP environment where you cannot bully your way into winning by having superior gear, rather than being a better player.
Of course, they could always allow you to use the skins of the items you have in PvE. Though even that would have a few issues, namely Legendaries and PvP rewards.
It’s ok but basically all players that play PvE have the best armor now, so there is no really a big difference between all.
I mean, i don’t think someone is going around with rare or common armors, don’t you think ?
Anyway of course that kind of PvP will be prefered by people who mainly do PvE (what you said it’s ok, but could be said also for wvw)
