Because people who have been playing the game for a while, including myself, find it pretty freaking fun to rule over the new little players who don’t understand how to counter stuff.
It’s a little toxic yes, but the game is so full of op counters that help groups that jumping into below 50 and wrecking noobs makes it seem almost even
Let me translate:
I’m slightly above average on my best day and rerolling characters to sub-50 pvp gives me the illusion that I’m actually good

First of all, it’s not the gear alone that makes them unkillable - more important is the skill and experience that they bring to the fight, which you’re obviously lacking.
You say you want an even playing field? You’ve already got it. You have just as much opportunity to practice and create solid a build as anyone else. Just because you don’t choose to, you cry about people who have invested time and gold into becoming stronger, better players. Of course they’re going to beat you and you’re buddies if you’re not doing the same.
I agree with the point that usually it’s mediocre players who reroll and perpetually live in Kyne, but if you really want to learn to pvp these are great players to practice against. Furthermore, if you invest time and energy into making solid builds and watching pvp videos, etc, it won’t be long until that “unkillable dude who stomps you with 2 hits from a 2H” will become your first teabag trophy.
Sure there are balance problems and the game is far from perfect. But we all deal with it and keep going regardless. If everyone who had a rough time when starting out with PvP came to the forums to complain and ask for nerfs or changes, the servers would crash.
In short, stop being so millennial and get to work.

When 4 people are hitting you with spells and weapons and your health is hardly going down has nothing to do with skill!!! That is what is happening. So obviously some people have figured out how to get armor and skills that almost remove damage. They run around and kill anyone they feel like. This in the under 50 zone. The weapons they use kill you in two swipes.
Look at the under 50 lately. Hardly no one in there compared to what is was. People are getting discouraged. Especially the AD area. Most of the people in there are over protected.
This needs to be balanced
OP, the players you’re referring to have figured out how to use a combination of damage mitigation and healing to completely offset the low damage output of the typical actual Kyne noob player. It’s NOT just gear, but gear is a major factor. One of the first steps for you to take is to learn how to properly gear yourself for PvP. Do some research and get yourself some decent gear, either by leveling your crafting skills, or finding someone to make gear for you. This will go a long ways towards helping you survive long enough to learn the basics of skill rotation.

Smh at well-geared, obviously-experienced players who go into lowbie BGs and then brag about how elite they are. New toons have low MMR so will be matched up with other new toons, which usually pits you against brand-new players in crap gear, so bragging about your kill/death ratio in this scenario is like a high-schooler bragging about how many kindergardeners he jacked up on the playground.
