Stop complaining about EXPERTISE

What is the difference between Expertise and any other stat in the game? Two players with best in slot gear are going to "cancel each other out" even if expertise didn't exist. A player with best in slot gear is going to destroy an under geared player even if expertise didn't exist. This is an MMO and a gear grind is necessary to keep people playing in PvP as well as PvE. If you don't want gear disparity GO PLAY A FIGHTING GAME.


Expertise just keeps PvP gear out of PvE. That is its only purpose.

I can't believe how difficult this is for people to grasp...

I would just like to commend you on your WoW Gladiator accomplishment. Someone of your stature and achievement is quite remarkable. I feel some tears coming on...so I will leave you with this....Au-revoir

lol, but ya

they don't seem to understand that it exist solely as a gating mechanic for PVP.

Its amazing how everyone is/was a Gladiator on WoW, I thought it was only the top .05%

Expertise isn't the problem...the problem is that gear shouldn't have a role in determining the outcome of a PvP match. Why should you have a competetive advantage over me because you've played longer. The most talented player should be the winner in any match, not the one who spent the most time grinding gear.

ya you should get full battlemaster set when you level 50 because you pay a monthly fee.

Nope...the best thing to do would be to ignore all stats when entering a warzone and to set all armor types to preset levels (i.e. 400 for light, 500 for medium, etc) for the duration of the match. Then, instead of using commendations to buy better gear, you use commendations to buy vanity items (better looking gear, crystals, speeders, pets, etc.)

You can still have plenty of "carrots" for PvP. Just make the carrots into vanity items instead of items that give a competitive edge.

I personally would quit the game if I was not advancing my character in any way. Why don't you go play a fighting game or a first person shooter or some other online gearless PvP game? It seems MMOs aren't your thing.

I agree with the argument that the person who plays the most should not have the gear advantage. The solution to this is a Rated ladder system like arena in WoW. I'm not saying this game needs a deathmatch arena, but a ranked system which increases when your team wins and decreases when your team loses. Once you hit a certain rank, better gear becomes available to you. This way gear is awarded based on skill not time invested

True dat. Although, it is a pain in the ***** to have to carry around two sets of gear.. one for pvp, and one for pve LOL. It's getting crowded in my bag with all those dang compainion gifts I have to get so I can refresh my good crew missions LOL.
