A far better solution would be one per bag, increase costs by x5 (there is logic, not mathematics failing in the x5) and make a BM bag buyable akin to the Champ bags (at, for example, 1k/1k wz/merc coms) That way, NO damned RNG to torment me. Also, Bioware have access to all the figures so can work out the time required under current system with a flawless 25% chance to achieve each piece of gear; they could (and should) remove RNG full stop, because it does just taunt certain players with bad luck.

Did I mention I hate RNG?
Thanks for the support, 1 down alot more to go hehe.

The RNG system can actully be used for something good. The chance of bonus rewards.
It should however never be used to hold back players.

This whole bag and pvp gear system is still garbage.

After next patch you can get centurio gear faster( when you could already wear champ gear since no valor rank needed for them) but with the changes you probably wont see much champ gear until rank 60.. which is a hell of a long "ride" (grind) not to mention centurion gear just sucks basicly.

When you reach valor 60 you can get BM bags with shiny champ commendations.. this is stupid if you think about it..when you could have BM gear you basicly grind for champ gear and BM gear together? :P

This whole system is so retarded i honestly don't know how could some system like this go trough without someone saying in the presentation meeting whatever : "This is seriously the best idea you came up with?"

There are several much better ideas already on a forum, this just shows how bad the pvp design team is in this game..

Take a chill pill, or better yet; reading skill classes. You will get champ commendations from champ bags too. So you are guaranteed to get champ gear before 60. 15 cent coms and 7 champ coms from each champ bag. Add to that, still a chance (even though small) to also get champ tokens

That's exactly what I'll be doing. It's a nice change from that aspect too. The Champ tokens are always the same class that you are, meaning only one or two companions can use them. Now, with lots of commendations instead, you can grab different classes stuff for your companions.

Overall though, all this 'welfare' talk is silly. BM gear is welfare gear. All it's there for is to give people something to grind out before rated WZ's come out. Once 1.2 hits, gear will likely be gated based on how well you are doing in rated WZ's.

Only 9? heh. I actually went 36 bags without getting any and have now gotten 5 in a row. RNG is a strange beast.

Noone knows when they'll patch this on live servers. They have it on the test servers now, and I guess if that goes well and no big issues arise, we'll se the patch on live servers maybe next maintainace or the one after that. But thats just a guess.

As well of stacking bags, that just the vendor one you can't stack as far as I know
