Already got one foot out the door, but on behalf of the people losing a large percentage of their matches (especially Republic sub 50, from what I saw): Way to imbalance things even more between winning and losing factions and pugs and premades. Way to make sure pug players have less gear and untrained skills while they level through pvp because they get 0 credits for a loss. What an ill-considered decision!

Case in point for why you shouldn't make these threads. It does no good whatsoever and brings out creatures like this to mock you. When you unsub, you get a chance to say why you're unsubbing. Anyone unsubbing over this issue should be sure to tell them the reason is premades.

I unsubbed because I'm tired of losing to premades on my Republic toons and I expect it will only get worse with the upcoming changes. Vote with your wallet, because I find making threads like this one does no good at all. Premades don't belong in with pugs and vice versa. They never did, they never will, it will never be fun or fair to solo queue in this game.

On the one hand, this ties yet another class's survivability even more closely to a healer and/or guard and/or CCer. On the other hand, it's always been this way for most melee. This game's pvp really isn't solo player friendly and the upcoming changes are going to make it even less so. Advice: Hate to say it, but go premade or go play something else.

If Bioware had announced at launch, "Hey, in 3 or 4 months, the gear you're grinding for now will be easier for players who don't have it yet to get", almost everyone who grinded it out would still have grinded it out for the immediate advantage it gave. So the people who rushed to 50 and started grinding have lost nothing. You enjoyed your time of dominance, what's the problem?

Except for the crowd that doesn't want to pvp without a gear advantage. They won't be playing GW2 at all. Right? Right? Please say they won't!

I didn't find sorc/sage fun before, it got really boring to pve with and in pvp anytime you face a premade, they just burn down sorc first, if that sorc is actually healing or otherwise useful as far as utility and objectives. Sin is much more fun. Sorry the hybrid sorc kite spec got nerfed, didn't really mind fighting them, except when three or four worked well together, they're tougher in groups than any other class combo, imo. I didn't really care if anything got nerfed (of course I don't have the dps numbers bioware does, either), but there's no need to howl for a tankasin nerf when the hybrid already got nerfed. At least, no need to howl yet. If they breed like rabbits in the next few weeks and overrun rateds, then I'm sure the howling will get some attention.

Someone in another thread is predicting rateds will be full of tankasins, if so, I'm sure they will get nerfed. Meanwhile, I'm happily playing a dps sin, not because it's better, even while leveling it isn't, but because it's more fun. So even if I'm still around for that, it won't affect me. In fact, maybe if tankasin does eat a nerf, the dps trees will get some love.

People queue, then don't accept when it pops. Since they're putting a deserter penalty in for people who leave warzones, people who queue and then don't accept when it pops should suffer the same penalty. If you aren't going to play, don't queue. If you think you might not be able to accept, un-queue and then re-queue when you know you can play.

It was my understanding that an assassin hybrid already got the nerf bat. So really? How did everyone miss that fact?

My name is maradigamer, and I am an e-terrorist. Ahahahaha!

Well, if they do that, I'm definitely taking my pvp out of the game, anyway. I don't pvp to get stomped on with no chance of fighting back, if I wanted that, I'd roll on a pvp server and wander around as a low level calling here ganker ganker ganker!

Hey, no one wants to be wrong on this one more than me, because then I can resub. I'm not pugging against 4 and 8 mans. I will be so happy if I'm wrong!

The reason I think 4man and solos will end up queued against 8mans sometimes is because there is no way the 8man queues will pop often enough if they don't have filler from 4man and solo players when another 8man isn't available.

Uh huh. But won't those queues still feed into the same warzones?
