In general if we could use our stuff from story part of the game when playing PvP it would be much more fun. Spliting playets in to rang groups like 1-3 4-7 8-11 etc would be much more fun. I play story most of time and i progressed a bit and now moving to PvP and starting from scrach with no equipment is not funn. I thin idea is worth considering. You would get more players who will appriciate mix of PvP with PvE .
