5v5 is already dying .. it is #7000 2er & #5000 3er versus #400 5er teams in a pool
the simple reason.. why all the stress from fighting 5v5 if you can get the same items from much easier 3v3.
next step.. why pvp if you can get everything easier, faster and higher itemlevels from (current) pve.
we all know that wow is an item game, if blizzard don't start to hand out better stuff via pvp, there won't be much rated bgs going on.
They did say you'll be able to get the best pvp gear from rated battlegrounds.
I'd tend to think rated BG's or Arena, either way will get you arena points.
And PvP gear or PvE gear is the same item level, so similar potency but just a different prioritization of stat points.
The idea behind rated BGs is to be able to offer the best PvP rewards through both Arenas or BGs. If you love BGs but don't like Arenas, you can still get great rewards. If you love Arenas, hopefully the experience will be even better for you because the guys who don't like Arenas will be off doing something else. If you like both Arenas and BGs, great, you have more choices in what you do that week. If you like PvP but still lose a lot, yes you're still going to be a season behind the guys who win a lot. We'll reward you gear just for participating, but if you want th best gear, you still need to win

sry you got me wrong, it's not about the best pvp gear available ;-)
if pvp was gear was really on the same level there would be much more pvp going on.
"sry not with pvp gear" .. you get this a lot.
also you can buy pvp items via pve but not ice versa.
