In AV, as a ranged dps, healer or even a pve tank i dont see it as that wrong with PVE gear. Youll kill alliance npcs faster, and if there is stalemate gankfest at some chokepoint, you can safely stand back a bit and dps or heal in pve gear. AV is basically a speedrun through various PVE-obstacles, or a gigantic gankfest where everyone just kills whatever is closests.
In all other BGs (maybe not isle of Conquest) you almost have to have pvp gear.

I don't see anything wrong with it, not like some crybabies will freak out...but they freak out and start calling an entire faction "fail" if the team isn't completely owning the other side. I'm not kidding I've seen people whine because our team isn't "winning fast enough" or "doesn't have a good enough lead"...
Also as skumbananer said, sometimes in AV pve gear is actually better most of the game.

there is 2 sides to this. 1 you don't have any pvp gear YET this means you don't have said pvp gear to use. its like the infinite loop people expect in raids sometimes. you need gear from that raid to raid but to gear you need to do the raid its a loop. I never expect to see people in full or even some pvp gear and if I do then I know we might not fail as MUCH.
You can get low end pvp gear but it won't be as good as a 262 gear.

Here's my opinion in a nutshell. Yes, it's your $15 to play how you want etc., but keep in mind that by going into a 10v10 or 15v15 BG you are hurting your team more than helping. The only people making huge contributions to BG's in PvE gear are
"usually"
better than the rest of the BG population and can use their skills to make up the difference.
I know for a fact when I see raid gear, I focus and kill it fast(doing 100k damage in 3-4 globals), that guy did NOTHING for his team except run in and die quickly. You can get an entire set of class specific resil. gear for about 1k gold and there is no excuse to not be semi-prepared when entering a BG, no different from raiding.

Pvp gear is the *!@# in pvp, except when doing it in a tux.

Your server economy must be very different than mine...here it's over 1k per piece, it's really not worth it to get more than 2 pieces and just spam bgs.

i want to say this first and you can read why below. pve gear can do perfectly fine in bgs, just i would say you would need some pretty good gear to the point where u lose a ton of stats by going to crafted blues. aka str, stam, int, agi, etc, and then various secondary stats.
i seriously do not get why people are getting so angry about this. i am a blood dk. i go into bgs with my tank gear all the time. i die once maybe twice, go fc etc. the reason why i cant die in tank gear is because i am either avoiding most attacks or just heal through them with death strike since i stack mastery. i don't know about you but i certainly do not get 2-3 shotted. more like it takes half their team popping everything they have to kill me, especially when i have a half decent healer with me as well. so while i agree some classes just shouldnt do it (clothies generally), some classes can, and they can do it perfectly fine. i have a frost spec that i arena with. it is decently geared from my occasional pvp, which i got the honor through tank gear in blood spec, it has all viscious and a few pieces of ruthless. and frankly i hate using it in bgs. in my frost i am dying much more often than my blood, and dont get many more kills. there is one bg i like frost for and that is strand. and the reason i dont use this pvp gear in blood is it loses all of its mastery and avoidance, which is what keeps me alive as a tank.
so ya, i go in maybe one day a week because i bored, go in blood with tank gear, barely ever die, and have fun. congratulations there are people out there who play at least somewhat casually who can go in with pve gear and be perfectly fine, come out not caring one bit, there are millions of people who play this game, you cannot say that because one is not hardcore, they cannot participate in the game. they pay the 15$ just like you, if you don't like it then you got three choices. join a guild and never do randoms again, and do rateds instead. quit pvp entirely and go find some other aspect of the game to play. or finally quit, if you don't like the game because some people have a life and dont play wow hardcore, then quit and go play another game.

Battlegrounds are for getting PvP gear, and depending on your PvE set your dragon-slayer gear might but just as good if not better than the craft-able set. Sometimes when I'm too lazy to get PvP gear and talents I just go to Tol Barad in my PvE gear and wreck healers in seconds for the rest of the team before dying quickly (I can usually kill another 1-2 people if I'm lucky.)

there is nothing 'wrong' with it per say, but imo, you wont have as much fun, pvp is kind of lame in pve gear because you get pwned so fast and often. Pvp is a lot more fun in good pvp gear.
experienced pvp dps seek out the enemies that are pve geared because we know we will get some massive crits on them and kill them fast. If you want to be the guy killing get pvp gear, if you want to be getting killed wear ur pve gear.
I dunno. I used to get a kick out of PvPing in PvE gear. It really gives you that experience you need to learn to survive with limited defensive capability.
Bonus points for being a Hunter or glass cannon spec.
