Arenanet is the only company that is taking pvp seriously. Bioware and Trion both feebly attempted to implement WOW's pvp system, and failed.

Arenanet is the only company that is doing pvp right.

RNG is RNG. Some get lucky rest get crap.

Saw two assassins in full sets with those feathery helmets in a WZ last night who had 21k health each (My friend who has just hit 50 pointed it out to me as he had about half the health). Is that battlemaster? What does a tank look like then O_o

That was a tank.
You can try to explain PVP to the ignorant... but you cannot Force them to understand it.

expertise : I do ~20% less damage to them, they do ~20% more damage to me.

it seems based on hitpoints we can also expect a 36% stat difference too. E.g. a geared tank is ~22k, I am at 14k as a fresh tank in 49 to 50 blues/purple's (without expertise).

and this is one month into the game. this isn't 1 year in. it's one MONTH. I'm a month behind because I rerolled from empire to republic to help with the population disparity. why do they have a 76% (36+20+20) gap advantage on new 50s? note : 76% is not even counting consumables or set bonuses...
full set of battlemaster has 12% expertise... not 20...

I love the idiots who win the lottery and tell everyone else that it's easy.

Put it this way, at least it doesnt take you 6 months to get full epic like in most other MMOs.

The expected value of gearing up to full champ/cent is 2-3 weeks. You could be unlucky (add a week) or lucky (remove a week). If your argument is "lottery bags only favor the lucky", I suggest you take some probability courses and come back. For an investment of 1 hour a day, the game is ridiculously easy to gear up by any mmo standard.

Suck it up. Do your dailies.
