  1. People that play with blues and greens have crap rankings. If you step up your game and raise your ranking above 1000 those people don't show up on your team anymore.
  2. In case anybody buys a rename token from the cartel market: they do have a 30 day cool down (although it seems d like it cleared in 10 regardless of the tool tip). But if you keep your characters and want to switch two of their names you have to wait a bit.
  3. It's not about "eventually" climbing the ranks, it's that over time your ranking becomes more accurate. Dead weight people who suck will keep dropping because they lose every time. People who are good will continue to climb because even if they're matched up with bads a lot they can still pull out an occasional win by carrying or rallying a team, especially if put on a team of 3 other team players. As for the system being "broken" people are complaining about game throwers, que syncers, and win traders but the fixes they demand won't fix any of those. You can set an expertise, Valor, or gear restriction and all of those will still exist. It's like complaining about the matchmaking system as the fault for their loss. Sure the matchmaking system matches classes that demolish your team but it's also puts you on teams that demolish the enemy. It's basically a class RNG, the opposition faces the same problem as you so it cancels out. If you're always losing games it's not the matchmaking system at fault. A few of those games you had the class advantage and you still lost. Lastly is the "undergeared" players. If they're that badly undergeared they will lose often and their ranking will fall to the bottom. If you're overgeared and you find yourself in this bracket you should be outclassing the opposing under geared players and getting a lot of wins. The problem is the gear gap is small now and undergeared players can still do good. And overgeared players can still suck. And I guarantee that overgeared bad will see the undergeared players around him and blame them for the loss. And then they come to the forum demanding gear restrictions.
  4. You mean before you reimage your phone, or after you buy the white/red dye module. The only perk is that vendor so do your shopping then remove the security key (IMHO). Once you re image your phone you lose the key app and can't get into the website to recover it. You can't log into the site or the game.
  5. Endgame gear progression is better than crafted gear (unless you reverse engineered the end game gear but that's a PITA). But if you want money or you're going to make a second character then crafting is very useful so get it going early. Personally I make all my spending money selling sub-50 blue gear to people leveling their characters, I don't even touch Endgame gear and still make millions. And I save tons of money having my old crafter characters keep my new alternate characters and their companions in new gear.
  6. A sorc is my main but I loved the sniper storyline as well. They're probably my two favorites of the game, you can't go wrong with either one. Both are respectable in PvP as well, and PvE from what I've heard.
  7. Dont reimage your phone if you have the app, I learned the hard way 3 or 4 times. You'll have to call the customer service line and remember all your security questions. But the white/deep red dye kit is worth it if you have a commando style armor.
  8. My first action when getting a new companion is to immediately get a customization for them if just so I look different on fleet. As long as you have the companion and a ship you can go anywhere, even ilum. And all the vendors are accessible without having to fight overpowered enemies.
  9. Do this. The prices are the same for all the vendors it's just the level that changes so I usually hoard the until I'm close to the cap or really need to upgrade something that hasn't dropped in a while.
  10. Jerks in the game suck but BW can't force people to play a certain way. Just report them and move on. I usually play regs or GSF a couple rounds and then come back to ranked when other people are playing. What I wonder is how his scoundrel was at the exact same level as his merc. Especially if he's throwing games with it. His ranking should plummet below yours pretty quick.
  11. I swear we must be playing different games, all my ranked matches are awesome. Queues are about 5 mins to pop, matches are always pretty close, everybody is geared about the same. The only time we lose is when people get split up and try focusing 2 different players rather than one. I've had a few I've been slaughtered but it was 3am and I only lost 8 ranking because it was a bad matchup. I think having enough people playing to keep the pool large is a big deciding factor. I'm somewhere right in the the middle so I'm always ranked with people in the same skill range. There aren't a lot of elite or noobs in the mix.

    I want to.

    Are you saying to dumb is down and make it easier? Because all the complaints here are about catering to the "high end" PvPer even going so far at to restrict access to game unless people spend all their leveling time prepping for PvP. Bolster is all that's needed to level the playing field for noobs to join the buffet. It's got flaws but most are fixed, gear is no longer the barrier to doing well. A noob with some basic gear and skill can go up against a bad player with good gear. What wins games now is skill and teamwork. Don't dumb things down further so people with no skill can win by simply banging their keyboard with their pudgy cheetos stained hands.
  13. This. You can tell the terribads because they leave when the enemy caps 2 nodes to 1 or God forbid scores first in Huttball. Both are very easy to come back from but the bads think it's a no-win situation and bug out. Rage quitting is simply running from a tough fight, if you can only win by picking and choosing matches you're a bad. End of story. You can make as many excuses as you want for it but it doesn't change the fact that you can't fight when it's not in easy mode.

    PVP and Hack

    No As the accuser the burden is on you to confirm there is a hack (post video). Because it sounds like you just went up a player that is a lot better than you. It sucks, I hate them too, but thats the way the game is. Gear doesn't really make a huge difference, skill does.
  15. I just vote for whoever communicated. There's usually only one other person. Whether it's calling out incoming or just some noob asking "what do I do?" at least they're trying to work as a team. Unless their "communication" is bad mouthing people. Then I just give them the "vote to kick player".
