    No he/she did not say that exactly.

    Aion is commoon sense based and gear only play the part of enhance and customize character.  So no, you won't be able to one shot people because you have a certain weapon, but it helps if you have a more powerful gear.  Powerful gear also does NOT make you win automatically, play well and know when to run and when to go for the kill is what make you successful in Aion's PvP.

    As for grinding gears, of course people always want better gears, but better gears varies in Aion.  Abyss gears are good for PvP in the Abyss because they give good set bonus and also extend fly time greatly.  However, there are also other ways to gear up such as go for pure stat boost from craft critical gear or raiding boss for gear.  It purely depend on how you fight and what your focus in Aion is.  There are also manastone and godstone to further customize what your character want to specialize in.

    quick explanation of the term zerging
     
    to zerg something is to swarm it with a large number of anything (could be like 200 low dmg classes or a mix of high and low or all high dmg doesnt matter) and overwhelming your enemy with sheer numbers in a way that there is no chance the enemy can win the term zerging was derived from the game starcraft where one race the zerg had a base unit called the zergling people would quickly and cheaply make as many as possible and swarm or "zerg" their opponants be it in game story or online vs players even though the enemy would have multiple powerfull units the amount of zerglings would easily overwhelm the enemy units
     
    now that i got that over with i am waiting for the open beta too i cant wait to see what the 1.5 patch will be like i am gonna roll a ranger this time round and go with elyos so as not to burn out on the asmodians :)
     
    hope to see you there

    there's about 50 definitions for zerging depending on what games you have played...

    www.urbandictionary.com/define.php here are 14 that are common, i use the term to define a large group that is moving around swarming, however i use the term more to define a player or group of players that mindlessly run into pvp to just run back again and die..with no thought process - usually games that have a weak death penalty in pvp or a weak death penalty all together promote zerging play styles... just my 2 cents...
