So if you're not a big fan of a given mode but it rewards power upgrades for your character, you're not exactly making those people happy.
It's one of the reasons why Blizzard split PvE and PvP gear, because the overlap pissed off PvE players that felt compelled to engage in PvP for items (see how original TBC went down when people jumped with fresh 70's into BG's to grab Gladiator Armor) or every time a PvP Player had to do PvE for BiS Items.
And frankly, given how they've designed H+ in Wotlk Classic, my hopes for any new content in any Classic iterations has been very much tainted, because those Affixes there are in my mind a condensation of the worst M+ Affixes.
