It's not so much a case of real PvPers playing Republic. It's more a case of Ezy-moders play the over-populated side. Players that want a challenge roll the underdog. Most servers are heavily Imperial dominated though, so it's easy to say that those who rellish a challenge pick Republic. Additionaly, due to the many mechanic imbalences, self respecting PvP guilds realy should be rolling Republic on an Imperial dominated server. You don't have to but you know in your heart if you're just zerging ezy-mode style.

This is what I think my teammates are when I see them AFK'ing two feet away in an Ilum zergfest or far away from objectives in every map. http://youtu.be/4-VTN6JTEmk

Nope. Real PVPers PVP as the underdogs because they know when the gloat about their success, everyone knows they earned it. That's why they play Republic.

So hey, big boy, if you think you're all that impressive and look down on players who don't leave their bases to fight a massive sea of red all by themselves, perhaps you should reroll Republic and lead the charge.

If you ain't going to walk the walk, don't talk the talk. You'll only show the world how ignorant you are.
Outnumbered on all sides. Inferior version of "mirrored" abilities. Republic players are the real underdogs playing the game on hard mode. Show pride in your tenacity.

Or do they need a ready-to-hand excuse (We lost because imps are better geared!!!!) and a smaller crowd to be able to stand out in?



Sweeping generalisations can be applied in either direction.

It's ok, they can respawn apparently.

Don't know why they are so worried about another war between the Empire & the republic since everyone can respawn an infinite amount of times...

If the best way to pvp is randomly attack the first person then why is there so much whining about premades working together and beating pugs who randomly attack people?

Of course much of pvp is about reacting to the situation and you can't plan everything. But just spamming your strongest attacks on the closest enemy doesn't necessarily help in objective based pvp.
If you haven't figured out yet that people whine on pvp forums simply for no other reason then because they can, then you clearly haven't been on many pvp forums before this one. Whining on a pvp forum has remained the standard since pvp could be discussed in a forum setting.

Now that said, are we talking about objective based pvp now? Here I thought we were talking about pvp as in player vs player and a one vs one scenario, hence why I described an ordinary scenario for me when I am out and about in the world.

Please don't mix arguments in a rather misguided attempt to prove your superiority. Anyone who can read can tell that objective based pvp is not what I was alluding to. I am well aware of the differences in play style between the two types of engagement.

Likewise who suggested that simply spamming your most powerful attack was a recipe for success in any play style of pvp? It must have been you because it certainly was not me. Spamming any ability is not something I personally equate with "reacting", although I suppose it is indeed a "reaction" of sorts, but hey to each their own I guess. If it works for you go for it.

Have fun !

And for Illum it was just blob and win. Where is the fun in that? I'd much rather that my achievements reflect skill, teamwork and better tactics than just camping and blobbing. I am not saying I am an elite pvp'er, far by, but at least my achievements will reflect my skills and not that I am leeching of others and taking the easy road.

I know its human nature to get "stuff" as easy as possible but others prefer a real challenge and the glory in the victories that follow. That's why I say, Real PVP'ers play Republic.

Also, when people are outnumbered, or in a so called "target rich environment" they tend to work better together and form stronger friendships. I prefer that much more than the trollfest of Huttball the Empire has become.

To my empire friends I say. Enjoy your victories now, because out of our hardship will grow a fierce bunch with better skills, better teamwork and better tactics. And you will be stuck with all your egocentric "n00bs" in battlemaster they got for free and a split community from all your trolling in Huttball.

Victory shall be ours!

Yes, cause we are shaking in our boots. Just because you switch to the otherside we supposed to consider your "opinion" valid? I mean really, Republic are a joke on most servers. It's the same reharsh of WoW aka Alliance. Inb4 **** I'm MULTIGLAD on WoW with no proof beside your little video of you lining all your cooldowns together to kill someone. Yes, you guys are really special I mean really no one else in the world could of possibly thought of using their cooldowns together to 3-4 shot someone in a Warzone!

Yeah one last thing just because you have binds and turn with your mouse it doesnt automatically make a 1337 PvP hero instantly
