So can we use our PvE armor in PvP?

So yea, heard something that this is not possible?? Don't know if I misunderstood or not... Anyway for hardcore PvP'ers WTF is the point in doing lots of dungeon's for armor if you can't use it in PvP---
I know you get all upgrades and mods for structured PvP, but what if I want to use my PvE achieved armor for PvP?

I beleive you can use PVE armor in world PVP, but not arenas or instanced PVP. In arenas and instanced PVP everyone has the same set of armor for their class.
there are 2 kinds of PvP in this game
1. Structured PvP - Here you get to max lvl and access to all gear
2. WvWvW PvP - Here you enter With Your PvE Gear.. and i think only the lvl is boost to the max in here (simply so you ll have access to all the skills). So yea, here you can go with yout 'hard earned' gear
oh, and plus if you are 'hardcore pvper' you can also only do pvp, and still you can get exp and get gear by only doing pvp (WvW) and not even do one single day of PvE
(so the choice is all yours, you can choose what you wanna play (competitive pvp, casual pvp, pve, all simply all of that)
You are not a hardcore PvPer.
Sarcasm is not a crime!
You'll have so many choices on what the armour looks like and how to customize it. You'll be able to add insignias to it, which changes the power/ special affects of skills, it is just that they will have similiar armour rating (based on there class). It is implemented so that you dont have lvl 20 noobs with lvl 10 armour randomly jmping into pvp matches, they can simply make their a new pvp char with max lvl and armour based on class of course, and cunstomize it from there.

Competitive PvP is meant to be statistically equal. But no, everyone does not have the same gear. You start out with dull looking gear and can buy cooler looking ones with Glory which is gained from doing competitive PvP. Stats wise they'll be equal in gear level, but not the same.
This PvP is separate from the other parts of the game.
I like the way the system is instanced is based on skill because everyone is the same and WvW but it'd be nice if they let social armor (dono if thats even in the game) be in the battle grounds just so its not so dull looking with everyone looking the same but still not a deal breaker for me i just started reading about this game and it sounds awesome might not be wouldn't be the first time but sounds awesome ill be reading ore about it
How does this go into balanced PvP at all? The PvE armor is purely cosmetic, you cannot get anything in PvE that you can't get in structured PvP(stats). So why don't they let us use PvE armors in PvP? They are exactly the same stats wise, only skins are the difference, and in structured PvP you get uniqe armor for playing it, so why don't they let us play with PvE armor, I see absolutely no reasons at all why they do it this way.
In GW1 people played PvE ONLY to get armors for PvP, why don't let PvP'ers in GW2 do the same?
PvP and PvE might very well share looks. They haven't said which gear goes where yet. So if you're going for a particular look, you might be able to get it in competitive PvP as well.
As for why you can't bring PvE gear into comeptitive PvP, they've given one reason. You can tell a person have spent a lot of time in PvP by the looks of their gear. A PvPer is rewarded for doing the thing they enjoy. They won't be forced to PvE only to get gear for PvP.
Bingo.
Take the time to read the 'Everything We Know about GW2' thread. It is well worth the effort.
A sure sign that you are in an old, dying paradigm/mindset, is when you are scared of new ideas and new technology. Don't feel bad. The world is moving on without you, and you are welcome to yell "Get Off My Lawn!" all you want while it happens. You cannot, however, stop an idea whose time has come.
Here's another perfect example of pnihead developers that can't just implement "gear", without the nonsense.
How so?
