About pre-1.11 pvp equipment

[rewind]

Regarding PvP equipment (which is for us a major point) :
* PvP equipment sets (R7, R8, R10 & R12, R13) will be available with original stats (before 1.11 patch) at server release.
* R14 weapons won't be available for players with the corresponding highest rank until ZG's release.

I was wondering wondering what's the point in releasing pre 1.11 pvp equipment ?
If the answer is otherwise pve would be too damn easy blablabla... at the beginning pvp gear as little influence on pve just because of the small amount of players carrying it in regard to a whole raid roster.
Knowing that talents are gonna be 1.12 from the start (which is the real point about difficulty), it just make no sense at all.

Another question, when you said

* Once ZG has been released, new PvP items will be available (R7, R8, R10), and R12/R13 items will be updated, in line with the stats known after 1.11 patch.

Does that mean R7 R8 R10 won't be updated ? This is a nice idea to prevent any pvp scene untill ZG releases.

There's already 2 threads about exactly this topic:

and

I don't think we need a 3rd thread about this.

If I remember correctly there was actually two different sets, one was available prior to the update, and the new one was available after, so one could have both sets at the same time for being R10 once before and once after the update. R12 and R13 were replaced so one would not have to grind again / commit suicide.
