Just gona point out some reasons why I leave a WZ and some reasons im against for leaving/afk'ing. Although i still disagree we dont NEED a deserter buff right now because of how the situation is with imbalances/bugs. I leave for the following: If i join a 0-5 game, umm who ever thinks they should stay is messed up in the head. If i join a game and even tho the score maybe 0-2, i see my entire team being farmed on my own endzone. If i have something more important to do outside of games. U know.... Real Life things. I join a game mid way on say Alderan Wz and the score is in there favor but not by much BUT i see TWO guys just afk'd in a corner. Theres a few more but cant think of them. Heres some that im against. Guy leaves before the game even starts because he thinks that our team is too undergeared, Guy leaves before game starts because he only wants to play with battlemaster/champion geared people. Guy AFK's MID GAME because he is too frustrated for w/e reason, but yet the game is still up for grabs both ways. Guy leaves because they get a lucky score in first 2min. Guy leaves because they cap 2 Guns on Alderan in first 30 seconds. Alot of these reasons are based on the fact that those who leave for the wrong reasons are looking for an easy quick win to complete there Daily. See Ive finished PLENTY of losing games. I just know when its pointless to stay. I too know that you can easily get the same amount of commendations/valor even if u lose, and thats fine, thats why i DONT leave because its not that there roflstomping us, there just out playing us but atleast im able to KILL THEM. Dont get me wrong i still try to win =P.

When u have to deal with alot of people with battlemaster/champion gear which just STOMP ur team completly and leave no room for you to even get ONE kill, how are you gona earn ur commendations then?

U must enjoy losing, have fun with that and gl. Btw for those who are crying that they get stuck in a wz thats already started because somone left. Just something to think about , NOT EVERYONE LEAVES some people actually crash, get dc'd,have life things to do and have to go ect. Also even if they did leave, why dont you just leave urself? No one is forcing you to stay and im am sure as hell not gona blame you for it because of how the way things are now. Unless they fix the MORE IMPORTANT ISSUES, i dont give a rats azz about deserters.

TBH he probably had a healer, and thats the real problem. 2-3 GOOD healers can keep anyone up forever. With the interupts not working and if they do work, cant shut schools out, theyll just recast instantly and theres nothing u can do about it.

i agree.

I agree.

Well with the imbalance issues,expertise issues ect. Who wouldnt leave a warzone ? Hmm 10 seconds into the game i see a full premade with champinon/battlemaster gear just ripping my team apart, should i stay? What for i cant kill anything im just letting them farm off of me.

oh and one more thing, i have a sorc healer, sorc dps and op concealment friends i play with, and i can tell u, by playing with these ez classes next to me, i can play just fine with no worries but they all know if i was one of the other easier classes, they would win even faster. So just fyi for those assassins who are topping dmg charts and such, i bet its not all you and u had alot of OP classes next to you making sure u didnt die or werent targeted.

Love the class, do i think its fine? nope. Does it suck? Nope. Is it underpowered compared to majority of specific classes? Yup. To name them, Operatives(concealment) way more utility and waaaay more burst dmg, All Tanks who are doing just as good dmg as you. Healers specially sorcs who can out heal ur dmg and have OP shields and not to mention the ability delay which makes it near impossible to interupt heals. IMO the marauders/dps juggs/assassins all spec's,operative(snipers) are getting the short end of the stick. And from the posts ive read talking about "oh get some gear and ops are fine" well its not supose to be about gear, its supose to be about equal footing on a team fight. Example in a mini fight during a warzone, 3 ops vs 1 assassin/marauder/dpsjugg, i bet u the ops will win every time. The ones who claim things are fine either are the ez classes,exploited during early access to get a huge start on champion gear, got lucky with the RNG with champion gear,or farmed ilum for the 60 valor to get battlemaster gear. But i garauntee you play one of the underpowered classes i mentioned and play against a equal OR BETTER geared class that is OP and ull see the difference.

agree with op

To be honest i think 1.1 was just the iceing on the cake. Everyones upset over so many bugs and balance issues that this just made it the final straw for everyone that is fed up with pvp. The problems arent going away and there releasing new content and fixing minor things instead of focusing/fixing on the real problems.

I disagree. Bioware could have made republic more interesting and have better or close to animations and looks. I bet all those sorcs/assassins could have went republic but decided not to because they rahter shoot lightning then just some chunks of rocks. Same with storyline they could have made it alot more interesting but nope. So i dont blame the people i blame the developers who made the game.

i know my awareness was not the issue here, i have my camera zoomed all the way out and never miss the door from being planted unless they cheat with the aoe stealth. So no, nice try.

**** u have no idea how bad it is, ive had it happend 5 times now not a 5v1 but a 3v1 , no healers/no guards just 3v1 on a side door and we BARLY managed to take him down and he killed 1 of us + the other was close to death. SO NO, its not balanced.

and what class do you play?
