There is freedom of choice. You want to play solo with only solo queue players without groups? Go solo ranked.

This is so much true. Because ganking is attacking someone with much bigger number of players or attacking some low level who can't defend himself. Both things are not applies in warzones as you have them always same numbers and thanks to bolster you can have almost same stats as anyone else if you pay any attention to that mechanic. So no, it doesn't apply in warzones because its impossible.

Oh ok I missed some BGs I was taking it from WoW wiki so might not be so accurate. Btw, WoW has arenas as well. Not in the same queue but thats just Biowares thing that they didn't make is separate yet which I would gladly support. So no, Equivalent is really 4 since arenas don't pop up at all as often as warzones. At least not to me. And even in arenas its easy to beat bad premade or lose to good pug.

WoW BG's are one for 10v10, one for 15v15 and one for 40v40. As you can see they limited the number of premade players to exactly half of theirs smallest battleground. Same as here. They didn't make specifically special number for 10v10 and another for 15v15. So if it works for WoW and Blizzard has the metrics as you pointed out so much they should know that half is ok.

Oh that Underdog buff seems crazy. Bad players won't like facing scrapper scoundrel. Even noob like me can now almost kill an healing operative alone if he doesn't have guard doesn't use or doesn't have cd on cc breaker. I think I use standard chain of skills (maybe not ) Flechete round - shoot first - sabotage charge - dirty kick - flechete round - back blast - tendon blast - blaster whip - punches (as many as I can, sometimes with pugnacity too) - quick shot. It hurst now, after those punches having 30% bigger crit? I don't complain against smashers anymore.

Yes, blah blah blah. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confirmation_bias - that is what you do. We are dealing here with anti-premade believer, nothing more. I hope you don't play on ToFN server.

Wow man I thought you'd understand the article but hey understanding of the text is not taught everywhere, is it. They so obviously talk about full premade vs pugs (that I was even able to quote it twice from two short articles) which is big difference from half premade half pug. Well, I thought you are smart guy who can admit defeat, I was wrong. You are in denial sir and you'll never get better in PvP this way. Maybe you should try to check the link in my signature, its a topic I made for guides. Check some of them it might help you to become worthy opponent. EDIT: You don't simplify it for me btw, but for yourself so it meets your requirement - an excuse why I lose.

You can always make another guild or check the Fight Club http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=698925&highlight=fight+club

Have you also noticed that when you click on link in your link it says this? No automated PvP queuing for groups greater than 5 people In this game its 4 tops. Also it says this ... a full, organized Battleground group.. and All premade vs. PuG. Notice the word FULL and ALL in there. I don't see half premade being an issue there. Actually 5 people is half of 10 which is WoW battleground full team. So Bioware probably learned from the same article you are posting here because they made it the same way, full warzone is 8 people and 4 is half, tough math I know. I'm against syncing two 4 premades groups for warzones. That is clearly a big advantage and unfair. I have seen it myself once only. I'm not masochistic I simply like a challenge and to get better in PvP, which you can do mostly by facing better players and hence learning from your mistake. I'm playing PvP in different games for around 15 years on and off so kinda 10 might be more accurate. I know what PvP takes and that dying is part of it. My PvP motto is "I'm ready to die." and it works perfectly for learning how to PvP. Seriously man, read the link. P.S. I agree that there could be some dailies for ranked warzones or allowed to complete dailies there. And please stop manipulation by posting link

Please more talking about things we don't know about yet.

Ok you make a scoundrel or shadow and go play it without stealth. Good luck with that.

You see when all those anti-premade guys send premades to ranked or to new queue, why they don't just queue for solo ranked after they get augmented conqueror? Problem solved. Small group of bad premades? Oh yeah because most guilds today who enter PvP are PvP pros, right? Oh wait, thats not true. You can't seriously compare hack to a premade. But funny story on these forums is that noone yet was able to answer me how come I don't play premades very often, in fact I usually go solo queue in both regular and ranked wz and sometimes I get smashed. Especially by Drama, Jen'kaar, Ministry etc. premades - you know, those from really good guilds who know theirs PvP play so even if you'd met these players in a pug from different guilds together you'd still lose. But sometimes we beat them. In ranked wz there are people syncing for solo queue so you have 2 or 3 man premades but yet, I don't complain about premades as a solo queue guy I even encourage Bioware to make ranked possible to join in 2 or 3 man premade so more people would join. So how come as a solo queue guy in both kinds of PvP I still want premades to be able to queue with us? Will you be the first guy with actual balls to answer that mysterious question or you "bush" out like the rest did? P.S. Its also different issue from server to server. At least some claim that being the truth.

I was complaining about this too, hell I even made a topic in suggestion part of forum. BUT! All this time I was on PvP forum I wouldn't probably moderate is anyway if I think of it. Many people here don't follow the basic rule - check for similar topic already made and post there. Some people just felt it would be better to spam topics instead of arguing in one. What moderator would want to merge 20 topics to one and still see new topics on the same issue being made like we see here.

Hey I totally get you man I've got same experience with some players as well. Sometimes I get so upset I'd like to find em with a shotgun. But I never give up in warzones and since there is no way how to ignore those "FU noob" guys because ignore doesn't work in PvP I at least try to give some advice in ops chat. Even if one of those guys would read one topic, its an improvement.

Well I'm not a pro myself so noxxic was the first guide which I looked at since google spits it first under "swtor guide". I'd say it is better than nothing since I found other websites with even more weird builds and usualy very old stuff. People at least can find some builds and to me it ment that I thought about builds I have I tried the noxxic build and now I have my own slightly different from the first one. But if more people will complain about it I'll remove it since already two people said it is bad stuff. And as Cycao said I take it as very basic build "guide" which is just to show you some options. I'm not fan of just copying a build and going with it without thinking about why you have that build. Btw Lotharofxev if you know some better website I'd really appreciate if you could post a link here.
