You could have farmed all the veterans gear by now or buy s2 with badges. Or even have s2 all the way from PVE tokens. People who have been playing since s2 regardless of skill should have full gear by now if they have not skipped a week of points. If you are in such terrible pvp gear you simply don't belong in the 1500 bracket, you probably balance out in the 1300 bracket where you can still meet people with hardly pvp gear. Stop thinking its 2 seasons ago when only a selective group of people had full gear.

This is the biggest problem for me and my teammate right now. Currently, we've grind out all the honor gear for our new toons (warlock & rogue) and we just can't get pass 1500. Seems everybody above that severely out gears us to the point that skill becomes such a small factor. We're not new to WoW, we're veteran players that just started playing new toons again 3 months ago. In season 1, we played at the high 1900's as warlock & shammy. I consider us to be above average players. Gear upgrades from pve is not an option as we don't pve because of real life conflicts (can't sit down to play for more than 2 hours usually). Without rating requirements, we could be competitive again in 2-4 months. With the rating requirements, it seems impossible now. I'm still holding onto hope that with the season 2 gear, the gap will narrow enough for us to compete.
