I comprehend it, and if I compare it to the title of this thread, I LoL at the irony.

I wish SWTOR didn't feel like it was still in beta.

What's your valor at right now? If you're not a BM, or almost a BM, you don't quite get what people are upset about.

It's not the nerfing gear that most (or at least I'm not) upset about - it's that I spent 100+ hours straight grinding warzones for BM gear, and I'm literally a day away from getting it, and now it probably won't be as effective as Columi or Rak gear. I have yet to enter a single FP or Op. I chose not to do that because I enjoy PvP more, and felt I was getting rewarded for it. I would have certainly done FPs and Ops had I known this was coming.

As someone said earlier:
>Make game with PvP gear grind
>Nerf PvP gear
>What?

I knew pvp gear was getting nerfed, but until I read this thread I didn't know the bags themselves would start containing more commendations and less chances for champion gear drops. I have searched but can't seem to find the test patch notes, do we know when this will be implemented?

Naked pvp is pretty common in games with full corpse looting. I used to run around naked or in really crap gear when I played UO pre-Trammel.

So if I PvE, I'll get awesome gear that I can own with both in PvE and PvP. Yet if I PvP, I'll get meh gear that I can only own with in PvP, and even then it'll probably be better to just get the best PvE gear instead.

I hate all you idiots that are trying to force me to PvE so that I can PvP.

MMO PvP is NEVER fair. Deal with it noob.

Eve is not about skill.
