Yeah love the 'just wait till january'. Then when all that pie in the sky comes out broken, they can make you 'just wait till march' for that next update. And im sure they will have plenty more all lined up to keep you subbin. Going to love seeing this train wreck. And dont worry, i got battlefield 3 and diablo 3. Thats all i or any gamer needs.

EvE is a great example of factions for the backstory/lore while allowing corps/alliances the real political power. Guilds in SWTOR need that type of guild ability.
You've obviously never heard of dark age of camelot, faction pvp works just fine. It just does not work when there are only 2 factions, and never will regardless of what people say about wow. Eve is a great game in concept, but it's also got the biggest collection of jerks, scrubs and people i want to punch in the face i've ever come across. It takes a special kind of sadist to play eve.

You mean 30 Imperials stand around doing nothing because no Republic players will even show knowing they will be swarmed under every time.

So basically they intended on level 50 brackets all along, but they just wanted to keep them in normal warzones until there were enough 50s to actually carry the bracket by itself?

In other words, it was not only a brilliant business decision but an intelligent game design decision?

I agree with guild pvp. I can remember my greatest memories in SWG, being in guild wars.
