With PvP being scaled up so that anyone can play it and not be held back by twinks and the like, I would hope the gear is standardized. In both Firefall and GW2 the gear is separate. You can get better gear, but there is specific gear for PvP that cannot be used in PvE. The opposite also holds true that the PvE armor can't be used in PvP. My hope is that the skills are also normalized, which is the only way to keep PvP from forcing nerfs/buffs in PvE.
