The only thing I would like to see similar between creeps and freeps is not needing to pve to be competative in pvp.

Allow Freeps to obtain different sets of rank gated gear that correlates with the top gear in the game.

So instead of having to pve to get the best stuff, they can just get it and wear it in the moors to be instantly competitive. Like creeps are after an expansion or content update.

To avoid bitching, have the gear be wearable in the moors only.
