For the last time people, the ONLY "welfare" gear is the PvP Rare reputation set.

I don't think anyone will argue this. The PvP rare set is a set of blues to give you a leg up in starting to PvP at 70 and requires merely honored with common TBC factions? Well, and a pittance of gold for anyone who's at level 70.
Calling the Season gear "welfare epix" just demonstrates that you don't understand PvP.
Calling the Badge Gear "welfare epix" just demonstrates that you don't understand PvE.
End of discussion.

I'd have to disagree and say that S1 and S2 is welfare. It does not require any skill whatsoever to obtain.
It requires just as little skill as getting tier gear. Both require a sizeable time investment.
The only reason the PvP Rare set could be called "welfare" is that you should get access to most/all of it just in the course of leveling to 70, and it only costs gold to obtain. Many people CAN get the entire set WHEN they ding 70. THAT is why it's "welfare". None of the honor/mark PvP gear is welfare, none of the badge gear is welfare, none of the Tier gear is welfare, none of the Arena gear is welfare. They all require lots of TIME and, at least for <current season> and <25-man raid> gear, a modicum of skill, and a large amount of understanding for your class and how it works and how to use it.

I have to laugh when I see nerd rage over the whole "welfare gear" issue.
You people are kidding yourselves when you talk about one way of getting gear being superior to another.
Agreed. I prefer pvp over pve for one reason. I can do an hour here, and hour there, 10 hours on a random day, 4 hours whenever I'm bored. Raid is scheduled, tues-fri 4-6 hours a day. F that! I'm not scheduling my life around a video game. If you can do that, good for you. We who have lives can't, so my "wellfare", spending 3 months to grind all my S2 with bits of S3 and S4 is not wellfare.
I agree, the wellfare gear is the pvp blue set. I get those for each of my toons if I have no gear. Then pick up off set gear before replacing set gear. It takes me two 8 hour sessions of grinding AV religiously in order to pick up 1 piece of gear. Sometimes longer. I usually do the dailies and wait for noob hour to be over with, because everyone hates a turtle.
The thing I'm hearing more that makes me more angry than calling stuff in wow wellfare. PVP noobs that get into a turtle, and then cry "Ally sucks at AV!" Right..... Our first loss of the day, and you are QQing. Roll horde please?! We don't want whiners in our bgs. They are a waste of space in the raid. Oh, and IBT or TP gets recapped because the noobs didn't guard it, "OMG I hate turtles!" I'm starting to think the majority of the population hasn't been in a real "turtle" AV before.... The new "turtle" is a 15-20 minute match.
I wish we could reach thru the screan and smack him in the head like the chick in the V8 commercials. Calling them nubs or responding what so ever to them does nothing but start a QQ fest. I think I'm gonna make a macro that says "LESS QQ MORE PEW PEW" and spam it a few times to nock em off the chat window. Ignorance just makes me want to hit something. Is that just me?
