Multiple sets of gear=bulky

[Megavolt]

<p>Like I said when BG's came out and people started crying about using only BG gear for BG's and only PvE gear for PvE...</p><p>There's no need for this. All that needs to be done is to add PvP character equipment slots. Have PvE stats from PvE gear work while engaged in PvE, have PvP stats stats work while engaged in PvP. No one would have to worry about being basically naked if engaged in PvE and being PvP attacked. No one would have to worry about completely changing gear if all you wanted to do was a quick BG while soloing in PvE.</p>

Like if an item had 10 toughness, 4 pvp potency, 4 pvp crit bonus turn that piece into an adorn, for example an orange adorn, that you throw on your PvE gear. Every item has an orange adorn slot so its just a matter of upgrading adorns as you progress through PvP/BG</p>
