I agree with you on the expectations of getting IB gear from IB, but consider that some players who don't typically engage in PvP see this as an opportunity to get some of that gear.
Maybe a better suggestion would be to have the IB gear weighted to have a higher drop rate but still allow for other things to drop as well?

I'm cool with that, although someone else recently posted about splitting the player base so that may not be viable.
