WvW is a mix of PvP and PvE content kind of.In sPvP all gear is the same, it's standardized. In WvW it's not, you have what you take with you fom PvE (or any exotic armor that you might have gotten in PvP reward tracks etc.). So no, everyone uses their PvE equipment in WvW and they're not the same like in PvP.
And to answer your question: No, I would instead say "let's learn to play or change strategy/build or change stats combination." It should require exotic gear, gw2 is casual friendly and shouldnt require ascended gear to be able to do raid content. Not everyone got time/RNG to get ascended and shouldnt be excluded.
