Open world zerg, yes, but in warzones?
If there is no negatives to rolling the zerg side (Empire in almost all cases) and on top of it the smaller side get zerged in World PvP then we may as well make the whole game Empire and just scrap the Republic side entirely. If Ilum doesn't have enforced number balancing and if they create a bunch of same faction WZs then this game's PvP will fail.

Hmm, enforced number balancing of an open world zone should prove to be difficult, but now I know what you mean.

Additionally we’re looking at ways to enable team vs. team, more level brackets and the ability to choose which Warzone you want to play in.

Everyone has been raging so much because the first three weeks of launch don't have systems in place that were developed by Blizzard after years of development. People are so incredibly stupid.

Guess what!? I bet there are more things they're going to release eventually too! OMMG WHTAT R THEY?!
So what your saying is Bioware didn't learn from Blizzard?

The funny thing is that this thread is being buried by QQ threads...

I am seriously considering leaving when the 50 bracket hits.

Ill be 50 within a week or 2, and while i dont agree with 10s being with 50s, i also dont agree with new 50s being with 50s in full champion gear. Republic guild on my server has run 50 premades non stop since they got enough people to do it and has steamrolled the empire. And because of that, they get geared, while we are screwed.

Fighting a 50 in champion gear as a fresh 50 will be like a level 25 fighting a fresh geared 50 with bolster.

Get off your *** and start getting gear then or do you want it handed to you? They cant bracket people on gear...

Which you presumably have already done and know that it's not that bad. Yes 50 gave an edge, and expertise a significant edge but never an unbeatable edge...

I was impressed that the statistics and indicators that they used so closely mirrored the issues being raged on the forums.
1) 50 brackets
2) Game Optimizations
3) Open world pvp zones (not necessarily in that order yo)

All of the main issues that I had, and had read about received acknowledgement and they are working towards a resolution. Outstanding BW!

To those who are heaving a sigh of relief, never fear their solution will undoubtedly piss a percentage of pvpers off who will disagree with the new systems and will come here and piss and moan about it.
