You're saying they used no skill to get to BM? Why?

This thread is only about whining Fresh 50's who get rolled by people who spend more time and effort getting higher gear.

Frankly, all the whining about all BM's exploiting, and having no skill because they have BM gear, is utter nonsense.

NO CRAP ! You didn't spend anytime toward it why would you expect to be able to compete against people who spent a majority of there daily time online even before 50 pvping?!

Time and time again I see people with valor ranks less than 20 WHINING and crying in the warzones about getting beat by people who were better geared.

NEWS FLASH - ....DUH

What about the countless number of people who are geared in pvp and barely have any Columi/Rakata gear!? I only have 2 pieces of PVE Gear - So someone who's pvp'd twice or maybe 3 times with no pvp gear

BUT - A full set of columi gear can hold there own agiasnt a person who's valor 65 and worked extremely hard just to get geared out in battlemaster gear.

Thats ridiculous I agree that people should be on a level playing field in PVP but they should HAVE TO WORK FOR IT JUST LIKE WE DID.

Handing them a free ride doesn't fix the fact that they didn't put in the time and I know this is long winded but GIVE ME A BREAK this is BS
yeah the only thing is we don't know what they will do in terms of towning down the gear.

this could mean a nerf to everything on them stat wise, or they could just change expertise to do something else not increasing damage. We don't really know so we just have to wait and see how they fix it.

my oppinion on the matter should be the damage component removed and the damage reduction should just be kept.

that way there is an advantage but your dealing the same damage as a normal player.

i dont think this solves the problem because pve gear will still work so well in the game which will be a problem going into the future if bioware does not address it(may be a problem now)
running is never a bad thing

These two concepts do not work well together.

We would not mind putting in the work. Does the work mean that we get to be roflstomped in fight after fight after fight with no chance of winning until we have inflated the egos of the people who were lucky enough to be geared before us?

THAT is ridiculous.

We pay to play this game as much as you do. The current PVP gear acquisition system is lame. With the random bag system being bad on it's own, if I have to go to WZs and get smashed by people who don't even need skill to beat me for weeks to get gear it burns you out and PVP is no longer interesting.

Funny.

You could also interpret this thread as (bad) BM's whining that they can't compete without a massive gear advantage.


Get real. We'll still have a gear advantage, it just won't be as large.

Wow, I did not expect them to actually listen to people and nerf the PVP gear. Regardless of how one feels about it, I think that their intent is to put people on a more even playing field. Like the level 50 bracket, I am not sure that this change will fix PVP. It does show that they are taking their game in a direction that appeases the majority of players rather than the more dedicated ones. I just wonder if they are going to listem to the other common complaints and nerf Sorc/Sages, Tracer Missile, etc. Not sure how I feel about all that....

That IS the work you gotta put in, getting roflstomped until you get your gear. Just like the rest of us did.

People who hit 50 early did not have the same experience.

As one of them, I know. And pretending like you did is disingenuous.

Ridiculous statement when on most servers, Imps can join an Ops group and just roll around with the zerg not really doing much of anything and get their daily and weekly done in addition to getting a ton of valor with a 200% buff.

For a lot of Repubs who had to fight there way to BM against the stronger geared, higher pop Imps...this could be insulting. But I think most people would welcome their faction having more evenly geared players.

To be honest the only people scared of an easier gear grind are the players who are god awful at PvP in the first place and depend entirely on their gear advantage to feel competent.

I was only joking :P

I am on republic side, I have been to Ilum once as its always full of imps, I only started pvping when i was 50 and managed to get my valor to 40 and nearly have a full set of normal gear. Yeah it wasn't fun being steam rolled by Imps with full sets of gear to start, but we still won games. If you work as a team you will win regardless of how crappy your gear is. It doesn't take that long to get the gear anyway.

As usual in these games people want everything for no time/effort, in fact on our server we lose 70% of our games.

No, the thread can't be interpreted that way. The only ones who could possibly interpret the thread that way are the Fresh 50's who are whining because BMs took the time to become BM's
