The game has only been out a few weeks.

There were not players in BM gear when the most of you started.

You were in quest gear fighting others in quest gear.

Now that you have BM gear you want to fight people in quest gear.

I find it funny that you call yourself a pvp'r but only want to fight under geared players.

"Work" for being good at PVP should be training and practicing your skills. Getting together with friends and dueling to perfect your play style and build.

The work you put in should of never been a requirement in the first place. And the barrier to entry to PVP it created is lame. It would of choked this game to death. Sorry man, the game is not just for you. PVP is literally dying on some servers because of the gear disparity issue.

Do you like to PVP, OR RP, OR both, or either?

I have a toon in BM and I fully support nerfing it.

It really won't change anything since true pvp'ers will still dominate.

Allow me to specify . Here's what Bioware said, To supplement the difference between players who just hit 50 and players who are geared in pvp gear were are going to "Adjust"
The values of PVP gear.


^ what does that honestly sound like to you...?

I like an even match..But what I don't like is that gear that people worked hard and put the time in for will be for the most part negated by someone who is fresh at 50 - which begs the question..Why even have pvp gear? PVE Gear allready gives better stats by a good amount.
What I read is "I don't want my PvP to lean a little bit closer to skill based, but rather continue giving me an advantage because I played the game longer". I get that. I don't agree with you, but I get that.

I have heard most people stating that the 10-49 PvP bracket is more fun because people are on a more even playing field. I believe this as well and even with PvP gear, as a person that truly enjoys PvP for its challenge, I would love to have the ability to say "You put up a good fight, but I played my character better and therefore beat you".

Sure, let PvP gear still give us a slight edge, but at least now we'll have more exciting battles. If you were a PvPer...I would think you would have felt the same way. Guess some people like it easy.

Yeah, god forbid we get to have any fun.
I dinged 50 7 days ago, i now have 7,5% expertise and do quite well in WZ's. I also had fun even when i had 0% expertise!

Sure, i didnt have much luck when 1 vs 1 BM's, but that isn't PvP and the WZ's are about objectives, not topping the dmg charts.

Play smart, get better and you will have fun. And in a matter of a few weeks, you will have a decent setup of champion/Centurion gear, if you bother to put at least a little effort in by completing your Dailies&Weeklies...

There simply is no need to make any changes to pvp gear whatsoever, it takes a few weeks...

im in full champ gear currently valor 57 republic side. I support closing the gear gap. Someone should be a liability based on their abilities not on their lack of gear.
