I agree with the fact that "most" PVE geared players suck at PVP... Take Iron Banner, for example... you can count with one hand the number of 32s you will play against that have skill. The rest just show up for the gear, and because they have a slim advantage against lower levels. But I'd rather take a team full of hard Crucible 30s (even lower, maybe) than elite 32 Raiders into IB. And most regular Crucible matches have a steep 31 curve, with a few 32s here and there. PVE is really about gear. You can be mediocre, but have badass gear; which will get you far.
