Just provide beta characters above level 20 with some basic resist gear. I've given examples in several threads of how you can get 80-100ish MR with really trivial gear like Dwarven Ringmail Tunic, Bloodstained Mantle, Mistmoore shield and other shit that won't take any effort to get as soon as the server has been up for a month's time. <20 PvP probably doesn't need more than a day or two of testing just to make sure something isn't completely fucked in the beginning. 20-50 will be what really matters, especially 40-50. Just have the /testbuff package provide some basic gear that anyone could get in a week. A low/mid-level warrior isn't completely helpless with 80-100ish MR, but if you expect them to PvP with 25 MR, nobody will bother testing melees.

I agree with this guy.

"balanced pvp" with junk gear is not the same as "balanced pvp" with standard gear.

You almost need a short test for:
newb gear - almost no resists at all (1 to 14)
mid level stuff - befallen, mist more, etc.. (15 to 40)
planes stuff / guk and dragons (41 to 50)
