Yes, gear matters in a few ways: (1) what you mentioned "bolster" does not work with augments; (2) moddable gear allows you to get a defined, optimal stat distribution for your spec; (3) moddable gear allows some defensive specs to exploit the gearing system to have high damage and high survivability that is not intended for their spec; (4) tactical items can drastically change a spec from it's base.

Guard is broken in PvP. Guard has been broken in PvP since day 1. TTK is off the charts to the point where most game modes don't make any sense anymore.

Such a simple fix to the Skank tank problem. In every tree for defensive specs, just have a -50% damage, +100% threat node. Done.

Those FPs have no business being in the GF. They should be removed entirely from the GF.

I doubt they would make anything that farmable, but frags would be nice

101, 102, 103 ... all cost the same to get there and give same rewards (tech frags or whatever). That incentivizes people who have completed the season to continue doing the objectives making grouping for them easier.

To truly fix PvP, they would need to ... Separate how abilities work in PvP and PvE. Redesign the game modes and maps from scratch (current game modes and maps were primarily designed when the level cap was 50). Redesign the queueing mechanism to make it pop fair matches across servers. Rebalance the PvP-side completely from scratch ... all specs All this stuff should have bene baked into the game from the design. But BW didn't know about PvP then and they never did. Everything else is constant bandages on top of bandages on top of bad fundamental design.

It’s so weird that some currencies are legacy and some are char and they are in the same list and you can’t tell which is which. Crazytown.

Today it was a premade of 2+1 against me. So, 3-1 with a 2 premade on the other side. Match making didn't even have the courtesy to balance it 2 v 2. It's just flat out broken.

😭 Can't find the lie.

Yup, anything like that would work.

Arena round #1: 3-1 Arena round #2: 3-4 Arena round #3: 3-4 Why isn't the PvP match maker like the GF? It should show the invites and who has accepted and declined and not pop until it's at least 4 on 4. Come on BS. Fix the failures of the last administration.

Yes, but your point is invalid. Adapt to the meta. If you can't, you're not going to do well. Why is that confusing?

God forbid people should care about the game. 🙄

A vendor that would let you trade Notes of Reflection for GAME Modules. I know you can get GAME Modules by using Phalanx as your companion, but the drop rate is too low. Making the previous rep drops the same rate as the current would work as well.
