0Jay Wilson just tweeted that there will be no PvP-specific gear. PvP tokens are in the game files though, as we've previously shown, so what they might be used for is still unknown.
Wizard Budget Guide - MP10 for Under 1 Million
Wizards are getting some love with yet another guide. This time around Archon InfernoFriday builds a rather nice gear set for only 1 million gold. All the items bought have standard stats for their gold range, so no waiting on for a lucky bid.
The stats in this video allow the Wizard to easily farm MP 2-3, while being able to 100% survive mp10 (though not able to farm). This is a great gear set for fresh 60's or those who want to play with friends in higher MP to help stunlock everything.

Reminder on Key Drop Rates
As other players have noted, the drop rate of keys and the plans is 5% on MP0, 10% on MP1, and 20% on MP2, all the way up through a 100% drop rate on MP10. (Blue Tracker / Official Forums)
Choosing a Monster Power Level
It’s very rare that I have a chance to do more than one run in any given play session, so I prefer to do it on the highest Monster Power I can reasonably handle. I know on a lower Monster Power I could kill more monsters in that single run but I also have to factor in Keywardens. (Blue Tracker / Official Forums)

Project Blackstone
Blizzard has apparently registered two domains recently, one of which has been named ProjectBlackstone.com. There is currently no information about its possible future content. The other domain purchased last month is WarcraftBattles.com for which there is also no known information.

If you want to arrange it
This world you can change it
If we could somehow make this
Christmas thing last
By helping a neighbor
Or even a stranger
And to know who needs help
You need only just ask

how would you gain the PVP gear if it was in game ? Dropped off mobs meaning even more crap to search through for a semi decent item ? No thanks
I have no problem with PVP gear being avalible in game, but it needs to be done in such a way that it is still random, and in no way dilutes the normal dropped items. One solution would be to have something similar to NV stacks in PVP arenas, on reaching a set amount of stacks (eg 5) any further kills in the PVP arena (since its death match from what I gather) would drop PVP gear for anyone getting DPS on the target.
This way PVP items stay in PVP and dont dilute the PVE pool of items any further.

They have said over 100 times already that you will be matched against players with similar gear as your own, so how can it be pay2win?

the funny thing is that the people who will buy their gear (why do some people think it's always kids with their parents' money?) will end up getting stomped because usually people who have amazing gear through the legit way (playing the game a ton) are a lot more skilled

but for the love of god, NOT an other Warcraft game! even thought i think this warcraft battles sound more like those stupid online facebook games, like the c&c tiberium alliances recently made by EA.
if they are gona make a warcraft game they better make it a good damn pure RTS like Starcraft 2.-
