Both are kind of crap. Healing is wayyyyyyy to op in both games, but at least tor has fewer healers and its not quite as big of an issue.

My biggest problem is that all 3 bgs HEAVILY favor ranged classes (who are already incredibly strong). That and operatives being horribly OP.

it works for both sides.
so argument = invalid.

I could sit here and argue about it all day but there is no point, you have a problem with a simple function most MMO's supply which helps your healers and makes their job easier. I don't have a problem with this simple function.

i previously posted i dont have a problem with them adding it, i played swg, you could do anything in that game with macro's, i always performed better in pvp without them tho as i could perform actions faster myself.

all im saying is you do not need them, but you would like to see it added so your play is improved from an AI perspective.

no reason to come to the forums demanding it

I never demanded

Mouseover macros would go a long way to making PvP more fun for me here, I have played healers in most PvP environments and no mouseover macro or a tickbox option to cast a spell on mouseover is a bad move.
I stated they would go a long way to making PvP more enjoyable from my perspective. I also suggested I felt it was a bad move to not implement them from launch. But there are bigger issues facing the game at this moment in time that others seem to be suffering with that require attention. Still I hope to see them implemented in the future when they do work with the UI and hopefully make a few changes.

SWG had a great dynamic pvp system (I stopped playing post NGE though), only problem was the old TEF system which I got used to.

WoW's pvp isn't that bad but it's not that great either, it used to be incredibly imbalanced favoring warlocks and hunters but it's better now these days. Dealing with twinks in the 10-19 and 20-29 brackets were a pain in the arse while leveling an al since fury warriors and rogues were dominant, but going into 40 and higher brackets were a much better experience, I pvp'd alot with a shaman and occasionally a priest.

In SWTOR, I think pvp is decent, I'm just tired of huttball and would like to see a WZ selection option, I bet NOBODY would pick huttball if that selection option was added, Voidstar is my favorite so far. Also encountering opposite factions while questing is pretty rare, only on Tatooine I've seen so far. After the patch from the other day, I lag so badly in Alderaan, I hope BW fixes that.
Now that GoergZoeller is gone, buff operative.
SWTOR going F2P, now playing SWGemu.

IMO these were some of the least balanced seasons.
Well, in S3 and S4 warlock / druid dominated 2v2 un-contested, only thing that could stop it was a really really well played rogue / druid, thats it. So that shows how much you actually know.

And S8 was wizards mostly, yes.

But I am talking about high ratings here, and skilled players always making it to the top regardless of class, thats balance to me. Balance is not people at 2.4k rating whining about how OP some other comp is.

the last year of swg pvp was by far the best pvp to be had in any mmo.

the most balanced pvp ever.

TOR by far. WoW had terrible low level PvP, impossible to compete if you don't have heirlooms. Loving TOR's take on PvP.
