Bag RNG System: Aging Poorly

12 Battlemaster bags, 1 Commendation

Limited to 2 per day + extra 2 for weekly.

Hopefully I will get my first piece in 2-3 weeks, meanwhile somewhere a new battlemaster opens 3 bags and gets 3 comms after a few days of BM.


Suggestion: Add a microtransaction store for bags. One of the few places where RNG has a place.

Too bad I need 3 of them for a weapon.
Lucky you, I've opened ~15 without a single BM commendation so far, at least I'll have enough Champion comms by next week to buy those misising Boots...

This is so ****in' broken it hurts to look at.

I'm sorry, dude. I'm trying hard to get you and yours some fixes, but I appear to be getting ignored.

Maybe bioware wants to piss everyone off and not change it

Maybe you misunderstood my intent on that one

I meant to just add into the existing PVP vendor (where you trade for Merc Comms) the ability to trade:
Centurion Comms for Champ Comms
and Champ Comms for Battlemaster Comms

I'm not fully convinced that it is a "bandaid" solution, is it ideal? No, but it is a progression reward system. This would reward players time spent in Warzones, the more time you've spent in WZ's, the more commendations you have to trade in and the closer you are getting to a new shiny bauble

Still all in all I would prefer I complete rework of the rewards system for PVP, I'm just trying to stay realistic

I would be happiest with your solution where you get rewarded based off of objectives/doing your job. As it stands right now alot of players are out for number one and only number one. Makes the entire experience somewhat tainted.
