Just wondering if it is working as intended that Electrostaves do not count as a double bladed lightsaber for attacks and stances that require them. I was rather surprised when many of my abilites would not work with an electrostaff. If this is working as intended Id like to voice my opinion that it be changed because I think that the electrostaves feel more unique. Saberstaves, well any lightsaber really look rather similar. I now await the usual flaming heh.

First off Id like to say that Huttball is my favorite map by far and I have to resist the urge to log off when I draw Voidstar heh. Second I play a powertech Tank who recently hit 50 and has very little or zero expertise. Now I am noticing that CC is a bit Op though I still find pvp fun. It does need some kind of tweak but personally I intensely dislike diminishing returns of any kind. Ive seen it ruin pvp in several games and am not looking forward to it as a solution. Instead I would prefer more active measures as protection. Possibly some biochem items that give you protection from CC for X amount of time or maybe a stacking buff shortening the duration of CC's on you based on your objective points or for each medal you earn.....obviously the medal disparity would need to be adjusted. I do feel that I get alot of medals for being a tank. To me diminishing returns is a bandaid solution too many mmo's use. Now for the dps dispartiy. Ya I do feel you there however for me its more noticable because of the fact that I havnet farmed pvp to get my expertise up. If I had the expertise (or better yet they got rid of the stupid pvp stat) I doubt it would bother me quite as much. I feel that I am an average pvper however I like to dabble in all aspects of the game and I dislike a stat that basicly says "farm this playstyle because if you dont even if you are better than someone they will still beat you". I know I wont ever win this arguement but pvp stats are in my opinion retarded. Just means more space I have to waste in my storage for another set of gear and a second gear grind to get it. So in short, yes please do something about CC but please do not use diminishing returns. Give us an active way to deal with the CC that is out there. I now await the flames....

If it is such a meaningless amount then I guess you wont mind if it got removed. Not to mention the fact that if you find it so meaningless why did you even bother reading about it let alone posting. Seems you want it in, makes me wonder why.

I try and pay attention to people who might not have high stats that contributed however failing that I tend to give a look at all the stats and see who seems to have stood out. I have no set rule as to who gets it. IMO Damage, Kills, Heals, Protection, and Objective can all have equal weight. Depends on the match type however saying any one type of contribution is more important (seems overwhelmingly people say heals) is rather foolish. What about the tank that guards the healer so he can do that healing, or even the dps that focus fire to kill the target that is focusing the healer. Heck even aoe damage to prevent someone from interacting with an objective I could go on and on. All these can be just as important as the other. The fact is im not that concerned that I didnt get a vote. There were others that also deserved and gone none while one person gets 3 simply because he was on a team with three friends. I would have been content to get none if the votes had gone to others that deserved it. Now as a constructive suggestion rather than removal. One that has just occured to me. Instead of voting for your own team you should be voting for the opposing team. This way it would be far less likely to be able to be rigged. Sure it might happen occasionally but at least it wouldnt be consistant. Regardless of what they do I will continue to vote for who I belive deserves it. Sometimes that might be a friend I qued up with but often it will be someone else who stood out.....and not always just in the stat block.

Yes I know I am going to get flamed for this but posting it anyway. First off I would like to commend the team I was on. We has some excellent passing going one. A true team effort that credited us a 5-1 victory and my vote went to the guy who set me up for two of my tds as well as having a nice healing total while he did this. Now the situation. I entered the match as a power tech tank and it had just started but we were losing 1-0. Now I score three TD's and make a pass for a 4th and we end up winning 5-1. I led our team in protection but my kills and damage were not high. I did not get a single vote nor did the healer who set me up for two of them (he also led our team in healing) or the other tank that was working together with me to trade tds. The person that did win..... had sub par stats across the board and to my knowelage did not make any big plays. He did have the magic number of 3 votes. It seems that evertime I enter a pvp que the person that wins has 3 votes. Sometimes its deserved, many times it is imo not deserved. This leads me to belive that teams of 4 are entering and cycling who gets the magic 3 votes to give the mvp to a friend. So while this is a cool feature its rather obvious to me that people are abusing it and as such I think it should be removed from the game. Flame away...

This is exactly what happened to me.
