You're a carebear that wants to be a PVPer. The coming changes are welcomed by the actual PVPers.

Maybe, but if it turns out they nerf it so hard that PvE gear is better (It already is better to be in half PvE anyway), then what's the point of even having a system where you get rewarded with gear with PvP.

Bioware should just straight up tell us. If you want to be competitive in PvP, you must do high end PvE. The only use for your commendations is to stock up on expertise and healing potions

Agreed.

With the caveat that it really does suck for those players who've put a lot of time into getting the gear.

I may not agree with their views on what makes them "great pvp'ers", but I can empathize with them that having it taken away (to any degree) when they dedicated time to it does suck.

Unless they make a template that makes everyone in the WZ the same, there is always going to be a gear advantage of some sort.

I just want pvp to be a test of skill as much as possible, not gear.

What they need to do is remove all primary stats from gear while in Warzones, and bolster secondary stats based on the stats you are wearing.

Then gear won't matter at all from a statistical perspective.

First off:

E-sports = competition.

PVP = killing players / WAR.


Secondly, PVP gear should never have been implemented in the first place. There should have been world bases and such placed on every world past the capital planets and owning those bases should have rewarded rare, one-time-use consumables, increasing in quality over the time it has been owned by a faction. Then there is a purpose to PVP constantly, and out in the open world instead of in warzones and Ilum.

Every time someone uses a form of the term "not a real PvP'er"...
