A lot of games with PVP are like that, in the Modern Warfare series for example, you are thrown to the wolves at lvl 1 against anyone lvl 1-80 and people that have prestiged multiple times. They all have better guns and attachments/perks than you until you level up. Same in the Transformers: War for Cybertron PVP, that's just the way it is with a lot of these games, MMOs included.

I realize that with Arena being available in WoW, full PvP geared 85s may not do BGs as much as full PvP geared players in SWToR (since there's no rated WZ or Arena) but nonetheless, fresh 85s will, for the most part, be playing against PvP geared opponents.

Are WoW players complaining about this as well? I'm honestly curious.

And yes, I am aware of the differences of Resilience and Expertise and understand that Expertise is far more "potent" than Resilience due to the increase in damage and healing as well. I know that this makes the grind in SWToR even worse.
as you said expertise vs' resilience is a huge scaling difference... you almost cant even compare them.

in wow yea there is still a grind but with set goals and progression, getting introduction pvp gear was easy... too easy imo, but fair for people to get competitive for rated bg's or arena.

bw has pvp gearing in tor a big rng debacle. Wow's pvp loot system was pretty polished compared to what bw has introduced, hopefully in time they figure it out. Im sure they will. They will kinda have to when they introduce some ladder system.

and frankly, you can be 1000, 1000 and hold 1 champion gear bag befor 50. so thats a total of 6 bags befor 50. your odds are a stretch but its a start. Even in wow the lvl 50 pvp blues are a joke, and ridiculously expensive at that.

and really the loot bag system isnt that different than wows honor/conquest system when it comes to time. the time it takes to get a full set in wow of pvp epics is relatively the same as in tor. the means are different yes, and people use that as a reason to QQ and complain b/c they mask the logic.

new 50s in the 50 brackets is somethingt hat will happen for ever, sure they can add a new set but it will always be lesser and will always be trumped by the higher end stuff.

they sure *** hell dont need to put 50s back in 10-50. i see ZERO reasonable excuse for that.
Also the lvl 44 pvp wpns come with removable expertise mods.
Generally people aren't half as good at PVP as they think they are. Except me. I'm Better.

3:yes cause pre-mades don't happen right?? lol yes casuse some1 with 10K more health then me is not full geared.
4:this i somewhat agree on.
5:expertise does you give you that small edge you need though.
next please
1. I don't see an issue with getting Daily Comms (to turn into 23 armor/weapon mod) on a faction imbalanced server. Most of them come from Belsavis, anyway; the ones on Ilum (6 or 8/day iirc) are well off the normal zerg routes. I just did them for the first time this weekend, so I'll have to check on that I guess.
2. The only thing I remember seeing this weekend from my vendor for more than 60 was the main weapon. Armor was 39, kinfe 24, implants less, iirc.

I will say that at 50, I chose to dump my 300k that I'd saved for a speeder on the auction buying up purple moddables/relics/implants/mods. I got to 12.5k hp as a result and stopped melting so very easy. Picked up the champ pieces (7 out of 20 and no duplicates--rng smiled on me) over the past couple of weeks and a centurion knife and am now a survival machine at 16k health/420ish expertise as a healing operative with biochem...unless we are getting steamrolled. In that case, I just pick up medals for the comms.

I still lose a LOT more matches than I win, especially against premades.
Before you criticize someone harshly, try and walk a mile in their shoes. That way, if they go really postal, you're safely 5000 feet away and they have no shoes.
