Full set of Exotic PvP gear showed up in my bag?

[notebene.3190]

I have a few non-main accounts with some characters on each, and I log them in (almost) every day for the free goodies. On one account, I logged in the character I usually login each day, and noticed a full set of exotic gear in their main bag, including underwater equipment, accessories, etc that had 'PvP' at the end of the title of each item.

Anyone know what that might be about? Don't recall opening any bag of "here's a full set of pvp stuff"?

Edit: Well that was weird. I decided to take that character (not yet 80, maybe 29-ish?) to the PvP lobby and it all disappeared and said something about being converted to the new wardrobe system. Guess it doesn't really matter now, but was curious if something in the patch caused that? The character is a guardian if that matters. The guardian on my main account had no such oddities, nor did the ranger on another non-main account.

I had the same thing happen. I deleted it all. I have all Legendary and have been playing since GW2 beta. No idea why they suddenly decided to hand out a set of gear.

Same here on 2 older char I never done PVP with.  The 2 I have done  PVP with didn't get any.  So weird.

Back in the old days there was special PvP armor. When that changed, this gear was in our inventories and going to the PvP lobby "fixes" it. The quickest way to ditch the armor is still going to the PvP lobby.
