Yes you would probably need to link 7s and ele 2s to be effective.. but by no means would you need to have [17]ed enchanted gear. Ofc people with money and OPs to burn will get maxed gear no matter what zone they go to, but everyone can be on a level playing field if the max link.. There is no higher level gear that isn't already available like having legends in canta and heroics in 1-15. A mere 450 or so extra absorb from having all [17] gear doesn't really do much when you get hit for 4k+ normal crits. So yes there is cost with any pvp zone, but no in that there is no "limited higher level/mode gear" that isn't already easily attainable, and no you don't need full [17] gear to compete.
In fact, only a few handful people in goddess even had full [17]ed gear, and mostly they were on the fury side from DV. I did just fine with gear at [5] and some gear at [0]

The rules have changed since Goddess was last active. True one still don't need full [17] gear to compete but high enchants on weapons are almost a must now due to enchant scaling.
How is having to link 7s to compete any less expensive than enchanting in lower zones? All zones need high enchant to be damage dealers now, no exceptions. Goddess cost to play being cheaper was a myth built up by the players to tempt undecided players to the zone. Goddess strived because of the players in the zone desiring pvp instead of killfest, not because it was cheaper. The excuse of heroics/legend in lower zone is just that, an excuse. One can use the same argument that there is a higher level gear for basic mode that is not available for them. i.e goddess gear.
