Local lizard resigns herself to more PvP in the vain hope that she'll actually bother to hit PvP level 25 this time. On the plus side, at least she can be sad about it!
I done did it. 150k for dyes later (pearl white is expensive and I'm lazy) and I have the PvP gear. I accidentally got decent at Frontlines, even picked up Bard for the final stretch for funsies.
Now to never touch PvP again.
