Pure Skill PvP Mode - Idea

[Ydra]

What are your thoughts on a pvp mode that encourages pure skill?

Players would choose from a few pre-determined gear sets (with a variety of different combinations of gear chosen by STS) and pets, and then fight with said sets + pets instead of the op/noob ones they actually own.
The players would still be able to choose their skill build to allow for richness in strategies.

I already see some...

Positives:
- Equal grounds for players to show their pure skill (common to countless non-rpg games)
- Accessibility to players of any skill level and experience in the game.

Negatives:
- Decreased emphasis on spending time/money to get better gear (although better gear will still be relevant out of this mode)
- Diminished variety in gear builds due to pre-determined sets.
