i'm not even valour rank 60 yet and i have almost a full set of champion pvp gear, its fine, people like you are too used to WoW type mmos where you get something for nothing and like to put in zero time for maximum reward.
dont like it? dont play it.
and this is why the system is broke, because I got the same rank as you and I get 9-11 medals per warzone also and only got weapon, implant, belt (6 times) and boots from Champion bags and this is opening over 50 bags already, while I got a guildie that was rank 20ish and open 5 bags to get 5 different pieces and 2 days later open 3 more bags to get 3 more, how it's that a good system at all?

until there is actually a form of competitive PvP'ing, all these PvP gears are just free gears to me, just like the BG gears in WoW. It's laughable to even find any prestige in having these gears, rather than just a beginner's platform to be able to compete in competitive PvP. How BW stat these gears, and how they balance that with PvE gears is entirely their own discretion. It's sad how good PvP gears are, to the point where so many people are actually caring so much about how they are given out.

Pretty much this, literally my first two weekly's (also included two dallies) I was able to obtain the chest, boots, bracers from my 8 bags. Since then? I've opened about 15-20 bags and haven't seen a single piece from those bags. As for people who are saying "yea but you get the centurion commendations". Getting 3 commendations per bag is hardly reward after 15+ bags without an item. That's barely even half way to the MH saber from commendations. I agree, the system shouldn't be as easy as WoW was, I simply hated seeing every guy with an hour of time a day walking around in the top end PvP gear. At the same time though, there is no reason why this stuff can't just cost commendations to buy instead of this stupid RNG loot system.

It doesn't have to be cheap per say, I definitely wouldn't want it to cost 200 and 200 for a piece of armor. However, after 15 bags... I'd be more than happy if it was something like 500 and 300 for bracers, boots, gloves, belt, relics, implants, ears and offhands. 750 and 400 for chest, legs and helm. Then 1000 and 500 for mh.

This would at least allow people to "grind" for an item, instead of grinding in hopes of luck striking you. The system is most certainly flawed and needs to be fixed badly. I've seen people that are valor 15 running around with almost the whole set of gear and both lightsabers. Not sure how this is a QQ more than a legit complaint about a broken system.

God I hate posts like this, nobody is saying they want the best gear in the game the second they hit level 50. Most of the issues people have is the fact that you can get completely screwed by RNG and grind for an entire week or two non-stop and just get unlucky thus getting no gear, while someone else can get lucky RNG grind for a week and have the entire set. Sorry, that's broken.

Posts like your post are the reason MMO communities suck so bad. It's the same as saying "Go back to WoW if you want to cry." Just because you aren't experience the bad luck some of us are doesn't mean the system isn't broken.

How is that broken? PvE of EVERY MMO is basically what you just described. One guy grinds a dungeon for 3 weeks and gets one item he needed. Another guy grinds it for a day and gets 3 items he needed. And how can you act like you've been grinding so hard and for so long when the game hasn't even been out for a month...We're at the end of week 3 and you make it sound like you've been grinding forever. RNG is like the foundation of MMOs. Everything is pretty much based off it. I do not necessarily support the current system. However, I don't believe its broken just because of ****** RNG.

Why not just make your luck increase with your valor level?

1 valor level = 1%

100 valor level = 100% champs bags only?

It is NOT bad for everyone, there are many many people running around fully geared (like my friend and brother) who just get massively lucky and get an item every other bag or so. I would say though that the majority of the community is getting shafted like myself (opened 30ish bags and only 2 items)

I've accumulated 5 or 6 bracers so far. Not a single chestpiece yet.
