This game has never been a pvp game, from day 1 they screwed up pvp.
Anyone taking pvp serious at this point, some 10 years later is as laughable as the obi-wan tv show.
If you were serious about pvp you would not be playing this game.
This game is about story, I have been coming back to it for 10 years, making new toons, re-experiencing the story. I never once thought, I need to go play SWTOR for some pvp action.
