Each armor type has innate disavantages that even armorsmiths can't remove now, and each elite professions removes those for the type that they certify based on their combat role now. Each type also has a few different armors to choose from.
You still have a chance to fight with or without armor. Its all situational now instead of just buying 80% composite and being done with it. Weapons work in a similar way, different situations merit different weapons that change on the fly from target to target. No more acid or stun weapon and being done with it.
The master box doesn't magicly erase all hinderances though. Hinderance reduction is spread throughout the profession tree, as you get higher up you get less hinderances.
Like usual in PvP, not being at max level puts you at high risk of failure no matter what. So, I don't understand what you are saying about strawarsy-guys. The only peeps not wearing any armor are peeps without an elite profession. This game revolves around the elite professions, standard professions are a means to an ends. They go by quickly enough to reflect that. But if they do have a beneift its that they dont have to buy armor, and can focus on good weapons.
