your logic is flawed, while it may be an upgrade, by how much? for example im 2.4k rated, so all the armor pieces are 226 and weapons are 233 in my vault. I have done 3+ Mythic bosses, and did 4 M+ 14 or higher. that means I had 6 Ilvl 226 items to choose from, yet I had a Vers / mast cloak from Raid, a Vers/haste cloak from M + and a Vers/mast cloak from PVP who are a Minor upg for pvp 213 identical item upgraded to 226. but a 1% dps Loss on Single target, and 4% Aoe, because all my gear is from pvp already (I have 1 Heroic raid item equipped, gotten nothing else) which means i have 1250 Versatility already, meaning Ive already hit the 10% dr, and close to the 20%. I dont dislike vers, but I dont like it that mutch
thats 3 items removed out of 6 that are ilvl 226 or 233.
then I got Haste / vers ring and Pants, the worst stat combination for my specc, while it is indeed an upgrade it would be a mistake to pick a vers/haste pvp ring, as Im able to buy the crit/vers one which is better, for conquest, making it an extremely short lived temporary upgrade at best. next I got the pvp helmet I already have (also with the wrong stats, Vers/haste)
So i ended up having to pick vers/mastery shoulders 226 where i already had 226 PVP shoulders. this was a DPS downgrade in PVP, but a very, very minor upgrade in pvp.
similar shit happened last week. and the week before. I have replaced both of those items with Conquest Point items since. so in 3 weeks Im currently sitting with 0 pve upgrades, and possibly the smallest upgrade I can imagine to PVP on a single item.
The duplicates are real, meanwhile my partners get 233 2-handers week 2, feelsgoodman.
EDIT** Just opened it on my alt, got 3 items, all 3 were duplicates of items I already had at the same Ilvl I already had them
