Are you blind? PVP are the reason why those whales that support BnS with their money try to get even more gear more gems to have an advantage in 6s related to gear, now that that advantage is gone they will spend less.
Battlegrounds is not intended to be equalizer for that there is arena and for a time was Shakles Islands, is not funny seeing like a player with low gear can survive a full combo and more from a max gear player is just stupid, I am not saying to 1 shoot people but even in arena if you do a good combo you can get someone from 100-0% hp , now in BGs is impossible.
