Not mad here, completely understand the delay and I am patient. However, I am looking forward to a 50s bracket and will play more once it is implemented.

My view is a little different though. I have participanted in a lot of pvp and actually think the bolster mechanic is working really good 1-49. I plan on rolling many alts with none of them ever hitting 50.

I think the most balanced pvp will be the 1-49 bracket with the bolster mechanic. The 50s bracket will be the gear race. One month you have caught up in gear, the next month they release new content and the gear grind begins again.

I may change my mind later, but I am looking forward to months of alt rolling to compete in a fairly balanced 1-49 bracket with the bolster system. Worth mentioning is I also enjoy the republic's choice of battlegrounds only getting an occasional huttball match.

Not mad.. just patiently waiting

Time /played isn't the same as real time. 1-50 in 4 days /played seems reasonable. For me, that would be several weeks of real time.

I actively avoided EVER getting rest xp to slow down the rate at which I was leveling to avoid having huge swaths of content go grey. I also avoided space combat and PvP while leveling for the same reason.

I'm not one of the "LOL level faster" crowd because I know everyone has their own responsibilities and lifestyles, and everyone should be comfortable to level at their own pace, but painting people who are level 50 in a game with brisk, easy leveling like TOR as "basement dwellers" is infantile.
You know what - I think you're trolling here for ulterior motives. You probably work for some other game company and want to diss Bioware and SWTOR as much as possible.

I'm not going to be part of your instigated flame war with me as your new bait.

Signing off.

The way I see it, PvP in mostly all MMO's is a form of END GAME that you have the luxury of dabbling in before max level. Now grind to max level like all MMO's then enjoy the game like it was designed. Nuff said.

Day 2 of early release + exceptionally easy leveling = you're wrong.

To be fair, it wasn't DESIGNED that way in this game. They purposely created and advertised bolstering as an equalizer. Unfortunately, they were wrong in their assessment and are adding brackets to remedy their error.

And this would be another ad hominem attack.

The only person flaming here is you. All I'm doing is drawing attention to it and asking you to stop.

meh... 1-49 with bolster will be more balanced than the 50s bracket once implemented. I see many, many alts with no 50 toon anytime soon. PVP won't simply be a luxury for me.

I've been in the Warzones since I was level 10.

I've gone from 10-35 with the majority of my exp from huttball.

I'm a fairly casual player, 1-2 hours a couple nights a week, I can usually squeeze a single 4+ hour play session into a weekend.

I'm a sorcerer.

Why am I mad?

I'm mad at the people who are level 50 and say that lower levels should stay out.

I'm mad at the people who are not level 50 and whine about facing level 50 characters.

I'm mad at people who AFK in warzones, whats worse, a level 10 or an unplayed slot?

I'm mad at people who don't know how to pass the ball.

I'm mad at people who manage to ignore the GIANT COLORED WALLS, the arrows on their minimaps, the vocie prompts from the announcer, and their screaming teammates and still manage to run the ball the WRONG DIRECTION.

I'm mad at tanks that don't guard.

I'm mad at DPS that get tunnel vision and spend 30+ seconds beating on the guy getting healed ratehr then just... KILLING THE HEALER.

A lot of things make me mad.

Fighting 50's is not one of them.
A 50 is just another player, geared or not. I can still heal, move the ball, cap a point, and block the enemy from doing all the same, if they are 50 or not.
In a 1vs1 against a level 50 version of myself will I die? Yes. But if I'm in a 1vs1 in a warzone I'm doing it wrong and deserve to die. Whirlwind the higher player, shield up, sprint away and get back to moving the ball or capping a point.
