Stop complaining about EXPERTISE

I think expertise is fine, people putting all their time into PvP should be better at it, simple as that. Everyone have the same possibilities to grind PvP gear.

I enjoy putting some time in to both PvP and PvE, I run some hardmodes and play some PvP inbetween FP groups. In my first week of lvl 50 I now have 7 Champion items and that's only from doing weekly and daily pvp quests + maybe 5 bags from commendations.

People ar starting to get battlemaster gear now and that's fine, I cant expect to be best in all aspects of the game, I know I could be up there competing if I'd like to, but as I said earlier I enjoy playing both PvE and PvP, again I can't expect to be best in PvP, same thing applies to PvE if I don't place all my time in to raiding, I wont be progressing as fast as full PvErs do, Im fine with all of this, why cant you guys be?

I understand why they made TOR like they did. Also, I'm sure it will bring a decent return.

Bio/EA won't go bankrupt.

But when you steal a design without thinking and you don't care about your game with true passion, all you're ever going to be is second-rate.

That's fine, I suppose. But, as a player, I don't have time for second-rate.

I need a developer who is brave enough to educate the masses about what's REALLY fun - and not just meet expectations like casual gamers knew what was good for them.

I'm not creatively ignoring it. You took the time to play that aspect of the game and got the gear for it.. He has not. You outgear him for pvp. He will have that magic helmet of +400 expertise as will everyone else in a month and you'll be back here whining that you want your Jugg buffed and everyone else nerfed.

Welcome to MMOs

Sure they should have an edge in pvp, after all the pvers have an edge in, well, pve with their gear. However, "an edge" shouldn't be an "autokill". And I am sorry but when I am rolling in my nearly full champ gear I wreck those people without expertise all too easily.

This is an MMO and a gear grind is necessary to keep people playing in PvP as well as PvE

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

We thought we had that YEARS ago when a few old UO players decided to recreate UO. First there was UO:X (Did that even get off the ground?) then Darkfall. Both flopped because it couldn't be managed.

The magic of the old school games we knew, loved, and played for years is sadly gone for good it seems. Either adjust.. play a niche MMO (Eve Online for pvpers) or give up on MMOs.

Bottom dollar is Bottom line. And the masses have spoken.
