My alt is creeping up on 50 and it just makes me want to make another alt. Long queue times, uber valor/gear/expertise gaps, faction balance issues, Illum mechanics being a work in progress... I actually enjoy 10-49 PvP, why would I want to trade it for this crap?

If I could level-lock I would--not because I want to twink what little there is to twink, but because 10-49 is better PvP. Just curious if anyone else out there is avoiding level 50 PvP and/or enjoying 10-49 PvP.
Ummm if you don't have a lvl 50, how can you say that 10-49 is better pvp? I'm sith on an heavily imbalanced server in favor of the sith. I haven't noticed much difference at all in queue times and the pvp so far has been incredible. Only just hit 50 Monday so I only have about 4 pieces of gear so far. I haven't had much of an issue with survivability unless I was severely outnumbered.

Bad thread is bad, k thx.

Like any level 49 gear compares to rating 140 epics with expertise. There is no gear that's even in the same ball-park.

You can stack expertise from pvp weapons in to your gear with mods, nothing new.

Yeah, I have to say, expertise does really make me wonder why join in level 50 pvp?

If they removed expertise from pvp, then they could balance the game properly.

This is not an area they should have copy and pasted WoW.

Its not as lopsided as you think. Many 40s get rolled by lower lvl players that actually know what skills to use in a particular situation.

For a grand total of 150 expertise, aka 4.33% bonus. This also comes at the cost of the stat expertise is taking up based on the item rating, so you're talking about less than a 4% in/out bonus on items that are like 40 out of 140 rating lower than the best level 50 pvp gear. Like I said, it's not even in the same ball-park. Comparing twinked level 49s to what lower level people had to play against a couple days ago is laughable.

Then at that point, is better to make another bracket from 40-49. Instead of having lvls 10 in same warzone.

When you have anywhere near as many level 10s coming to the forum complaining about level 49s for the hour that they play the game and stay level 10... instead of lower levels coming to the forum and saying how awesome WZs are now... then yeah, at that point maybe we'll need another bracket.

fps and rts? try any competitive communtiy.

just say no to lvl 50. Entering as a fresh 50 to fight BM geared players isnt gonna be fun.
