Sadly but there are some pvp 10 that can be killed naked
I have all the pvp gear that is needed on conq, hox and barb and also have 2 more pretty good geared chars and i couldnt care less about gear advantage i have.
I want to play pvp with every single char in game, there is simply no time to geared them all up and honestly im sick of that.
Some people say grind your teeth and stick with it till you are pvp 6-7 or 8 to get weapon. You will die at first but that is way to learn.
I think good player learn much faster than grinding 6-7 pvp lvls. After mini or two you are good to go. Not saying you will know class inside out but you can do good from start and learn it more deeply in walk.
IMO people that oppose this most are those that focus poorly geared players in minis as free kill. Face it now it will be harder for you, even if you all go play rangers
