Guild Wars 2

So what happened to being able to use a low level in PvP?
I logged in with my dedicated PvP char only to find my armor and weapons are now lvl5 items(I only use this for PvP)
So now I have unlocked skills but its like playing WvW upleveled with terrible gear.
Am I missing something here?

I cant say Im going to be sad to see the end of the massive blobs.
Maybe its just me but I dont have a problem dying in WvW, sure I want to wipe another group sometimes but you cant win all the time.
Good luck Gandara, I hope your players hang around when faced with those numbers but then again I have seen similar ones from your side.
It would be great if there were servers where smaller groups could run against similar sized groups, I think everyone would have more fun like that.
