im with tobben, yes it REALLY sucks to start behind, but once you've geared up to 3k ish resil, you can "re-make" your team, start fresh, and pretty much faceroll up to 1500 with a good win/loss ratio.

Plus, if you find pvp fun... more of it cant hurt lol personally i'm having a BLAST doing some arenas and when i find arena to be a chore(mostly when 400+ points higher rating teams are queuing against me) i just hop over and get some honor or go gank in tol barad doing dailies and farming herbs. PvE is pretty meh for me lately, so i've just been having a blast ganking all over
