I also agree with skilledpvp, on having a pvp mode with a predetermined gear set. It would be only in one pvp mode so if you don't like it then you can just join another mode. One of the main reasons I started playing al was because of pvp however, it took me more than a year to actually get a decent set. Also, there's been so many times where newbies enter blood beach and once they see my para glow immediately leave.
