This, its never a level playing field if people are going to pump extra $$ into getting advantages/pay to win/pay to not grind items.

I ranked up on the vanilla WoW PvP system and went hard to get Rank 13 (Warlord) for the PvP armor set. I wanted to push for Rank 14 (High Warlord) to finish my character and get him a sweet looking 2h axe... but I couldn't afford to invest 6+ hours a day for 4 more weeks ensuring I stayed ahead of the other PvP grind (there could only be ONE Rank 14 per week).

Then 2-3 months later Blizz announced TBC, and all the hours and effort I'd put in was for nothing... all the scumbag WoW kids were wearing exactly the same gear for PvP, easy mode was turned on.

Downhill from there, and they made the same mistake at the end of every expansion - everything became worthless. This "pay $$" shit is just an extension of how easy it has become to have the right gear/mounts/other perks.

...and before anyone says it, yes - "confirmed mad" [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
