Wow, can I add "the attitude of the dev in this thread" to the reasons I gave in my unsub survey? I mean, free respecs are not exactly serious business, but come on. These are your responses on the forums while the game appears to be hemorrhaging players? I feel vindicated, thanks!

Mmmmmmk... rockin' that tinfoil hat a bit too tight, eh? I agree that the 6v8 thing is crap. It's almost as big a problem as 8v9+... just went against a 9+ republic group on Alderaan. Lame.

I giggled. On topic... none. That's silly.

I agree with these three for sure. I play Imp and I'd actually have to think about a swap if offered, tbh. Interesting idea. The gear bit is puzzling on BW's part, but I think a low-priority issue given its lackluster potential to actually have an impact on the Expertise gap. Obviously the WZ win debacle just goes on and on. You'd think that one would become a bigger priority for communication/results after the wickedly unprofessional way they handled their gaff with the last patch after letting misleading/false patch notes to sit up for something like two weeks. That one just plants a sliver of regret for giving them money. Unprofessional is the only word I have for that. Still, I have hope for the game. Time will tell. Kudos again on the faction swap. I'm not sure how it'd have to work, but frankly, I think less Huttball might be incentive enough.

You got there without trying then. This crap happens all the time when no one leaves.

I admit it, I lol'd. Not hard, mind you... but I did.

I do not think that word means what you think it means. Yes, reduced RNG element = good. I still can't call the overall implications of your approach "exactly" what anyone was asking for that I saw. Still, it's not the worst thing you could have done. And hit or miss, at least it's a response to community pressure. Now if only the QA team could throw us a bone.

Uh, those wins are part of daily/weekly quests with basic progression rewards. No credit, no completion... no next days daily quest. It's kind of a big deal.

Hey, you see that? THAT... over there. Yeah, THAT! Oh, nvm... it's gone, but that was your credibility. I hope you had a chance to say goodbye, because it's never coming back.

Ugh. And bump.

Well, I'm certainly not reading 280 pages on how fail Ilum since the patch went live... that much is obvious without the eye-bleeding side-effects. Seriously though, presumably the goal was to get the two factions to stop cooperating and actually compete/fight with each other, across the two factions. Instead, we get one faction largely not present, and the other largely competing with itself for random spawns. This doesn't feel like endgame PvP... this feels like an overcrowded Valkurm Dunes, competing for each and every EXP mob spawn to pull. Epic Fail. The chests were just... I can't even say honestly without violating forum rules... but seriously. -.-;

Wow... read that title and thought: "OP can't be serious, let's put some popcorn on and see if he has the troll skills to pull this off." Now I'm really unsure, I think he was serious. /sadpanda

Eh, I notice less AFK people and more people just farming medals. Just ran a Huttball where literally half my team wanted nothing to do with the game, itself. It's a great system where the best rewards go to the people that aren't even participating in the goals.

I think some of these points are somewhat dramatically overstated, but I have to agree with the core point RE: expertise. I wouldn't mind seeing it go... at all... tomorrow. Also, I really love the idea of class buff gearsets. I mean, the current PvP gear is a headfake towards this, but not a very good one. I think there's a lot of fun to be had there. Sadly, I agree with one of the above in that I don't think PvP will be getting that big an overhaul... but time will tell.

Dunno what you're smokin'. I"m a 50 Jugg, love Huttball, am closing on a full set of Champion gear (not Battlemaster... yet)... and I can't wait for 50's bracket. I'm sick of lvl 14 Assassins on my team running the ball the wrong freakin' way. Point: 50's brackets benefits 50's too, but your "us vs. them" approach to 50 vs. not is lame. Besides, everyone will be 50 eventually.
