Just dinged 50. Gear... um... wow.

There is also the <potential> matter of degree of gear inflation. Progression doesn't have to mean log scale with gear. There's no reason not to make gear inflate by smaller amounts.

I remember in WoW when we first started into MC, rogues would go ape over a piece of gear with 10 more stamina and 12 more dex.

Now a level 85 is equipped in level 400+ gear. Ridonculous.

Funny how you come to the forums and cry, and I need to calm down? Interesting.

Anyways I told you to enjoy it and stop whining about being entitled and that somehow makes me the person freaking out. Perhaps all those years of talking to people outside the internet has spoiled me.

Regardless, I was right about you being new to modern MMOs. Go to Ilum and do dailies and do WF dailies. You'll be full epics in 2 weeks if you're lucky.

Less time crying on the forums = more time pwning in pvp. Try it out.

replubic gears faster as there are fewer of them on average. meaning that there are a higher concentration of people who exploited to get gear on the repub side than imp side. most of the republic on my server are fully geared (non premade) whereas most of the imperials in a WZ are blues/greens

ive been pvping for a solid week and ive gotten one piece of gear....

if this was wow i would have half a set of pvp gear by now, at least.

Spend Cent comms and pvp moar.

Only for a little while. You can get the 2nd best PvP set in WoW after only a week or so of not-so-hardcore PvPing. The top set takes weeks of arena time, but the second best set keeps you from getting smashed in the battlegrounds.

Same in SWTOR. Only in SWTOR you can get BiS pvp gear just doing WFs. Your point was?

how do you think i got that one piece?

fact is it took me 18 hours to get one piece of gear. if this was wow i would have had 2-3 peices of gear the moment i dinged 50 from the constant pvp ive done pre-50 and gotten another 5-6 pieces of gear for 18 hours worth of pvp.

not to mention the gear disparity in wow wasnt even HALF as bad in the first few months as swtor is. fact is in wow 2-3 lowbies could kill a BiS pvp geared player with skill. whereas in swtor 2-3 fresh 50 would have a hard time killing one full BM who uses nothing but damage abilities and doesnt even bother to use CC or cooldowns.

a fresh 50 vs a BM 50 is like a level 60 player in wow vs a level 70 full S4 character.

A shame that Bioware doesnt listen to its community.

You speak of "modern MMOs" as if there have been so many wildly successful MMOs other than WoW. I see a failed western Aion, a failed wow-clone Rift, and a handfull of games gone F2P. When GW2 comes out and it's not gear based, will that somehow not be "modern"?
