This is your second strike for horrible grammar and lack of capitalization, your third will net you a weeks vacation. Clean up your posts please.

simple, cause its harder to get pve gear than pvp gear.
pve gear is not handled out like pvp gear. Season 1 to 2 to 3 and enabling players to store points.

and pvp gear should remain in pvp and not mix with pve.
why would it be a slap in the face to pvpers when in the first place pvp gear is meant for pvpers to be better at pvp compared to end game pve gear.

"It's far from unheard of for a person to be on a kick ass arena team ,so have the best arena gear available, but then aren't very progressed in pve as they only do that on the side."

This is what is killing pve. Most ppl that start the game now will have a greater incentive to go pvp and get gear than to go pve. There is no more incentive to go pve anymore.

With lesser and lesser ppl having pve as a main way of gearing themselves up, fewer ppl will be cycled in pve guilds. PvE guilds require more than 30 active raiders usually to keep it going. When players leave the pve guild, new ppl have to be replaced to enable the guild to progress. However with the pve pool of players getting lesser, quality is affected too due to the lack of pve experienced players. This will in turn affect the pve guild progress and results in either A - slow pve progression or B - Disbanding of guild due to lack of progression and ppl getting tired of constant attendance problems/raid wipes caused by new members.

"Hey, we cant really progress in pve anymore let's just play few games of arena each week and get free loot" Players will have this mentality, and this will really kill off raiding in the long run.

"We can debate the merits of who does or does not "deserve" certain items. Having rules as lopsided as what you mentioned is a slap in the face to pvpers."

It has to be slightly lopsided to pve, since arena is not about time investment = gear. It is more about skill = gear. That is what blizzard is trying to distinguish between raiders and pvpers.

When season 2 came out and most guilds cant even kill vashj yet. Hunters can already buy the arena 2 bow which is as good as the vashj one if they stored enough points in season 1. In pve, if u get the vashj bow after 2-3 months of pve and other hunters just got the pvp bow which is just as good without putting in 1/2 the time u put in. Will it not discourage pve players to move away from pve? It already is a big time sink to do raiding.
U reward raiders with the slight "fun factor" of allowing them to use pve weapons in pvp, but those at top arena teams will be decked out in pvp gear + their pvp weapon is as good as top tier pve weapons. So there will be no "pve out gearing pvp" in arenas.

And not to mention that PvP itself is not balanced. Some classes have a harder time in arena. So why should blizzard heavily reward gears in an aspect of the game which involves class vs class and is not yet balanced?
