BG should be PVE Rules and not be part of PVP Rules.

<p>BGs werent made for PVPers, they were made for PvEers and should have the same rules PVE dueling has, would make it alot funner for people as well as adding an alternative way to earning gear.</p><p>A good way to do this would be to put down "alternative gear".</p><p>Like Mage gear with Multi-Attack + a little bit of Mitigation and DPS or Attack Speed on it, but no reuse or cast speed.</p>

<p>BG was made for people to play PvP without being on a PvP server. it's basically the arena without avatars. so yes, pvp rules apply.</p><p>let me guess you don't like the idea that in pve if your raid gear resists are high enough that no chanter can mez/charm you and no caster can root you you can 1 shot all mage types and probably 2 shot all scout types...and in pvp rules your raid gear doesn't really amount to much.</p><p>and why, in gods green earth, would a mage want multi attack and dps/ attack speed...over cast speed and reuse speed unless they are hugely over the cap. the only mages I believe that even have an aa to melee with are chanters.</p>
