As for the "the world is a PvE environment" nonsense, that's blatantly false. Tell me, what constitutes a "PvE environment?" Computer-generated monsters that can attack you, right? But uh-oh! That's not all there is to the "world," is it? There are players out there who you can fight and who can kill you. Smells like PvP to me. The truth is that the "world" is a mix of both PvP and PvE, so tell you what: how about we make PvE gear best-in-slot for killing computer-generated monsters in the world and make PvP gear best-in-slot for fighting players in the world? I lost you, didn't I? It's a complicated concept for a PvE hero to understand, I know, but just consider for a moment that "Player-Versus-Player" gear should actually be the best sort of gear for fighting other players and that "Player-Versus-Environment" gear be the best sort of gear for fighting the computer-generated environment. I have yet to see anyone explain how this is an unfair or irrational suggestion.
Whether you like it not, PvE hero, your undeserved advantage is about to be stripped from you. Reference the lead PvP developer's comment I linked. You have made no investment into PvP gameplay, so you should not dominate in PvP gameplay. Deal with it. Go back to your scripted PvE fights with addons holding your hand and telling you how to kill computer-generated dragons.
