If you are 50 and a PvPer, why are you still here?

SWTOR is simply a 'filler' game for me until GW2 is out.

Still having fun. leveling other toons to see how they play and hope that the pvp improves. I am still working toward BM as I was not 50 when the node farming was going on. Trying new builds etc.

All games have issues. It took WOW months if not longer to work out many of their issues.

BW is encouraging you to roll up new toons.

The 10-49 pvp is probably the most balanced. Too many people sprinted to the lvl 50 finish line and now there is not that much to do. Why is this a surprise?

Until then, I'm playing "The Secret World" beta...
How is secret world? I signed up for beta but no invite yet. That game looks promising simply because it has some sandbox elements like no classes / skill trees and isn't WoW in a new skin.

Because leveling in this game is fast. Because once you have completed your main story it is over. Because there is no real reason to explore the planets once you have all the datacrons. Because of those reasons & more, people are looking for stuff to do at 50 & it is lacking in that department at the moment.

Is the PvP perfect? not by a long shot. However, as someone who has been an avid PvPer since Ultima, to finding the holy grail of PvP MMO's which is DAoC IMO. I find this games start to be a few solidly non-idiotic patches from successful PvP, i have had a few early morning fights on Ilum that were not simply smash and grab 60vs10 zergs, where i found myself and my Ops group AJing and using terrain and strategy to win.

I don't like warzones, and i hate PvP gear, but the beauty of what BioWare has done is made the PvP gear pretty easily accesible... ultimately giving everyone the same playing field, does it need something to make the same classes more unique other than this cookie cutter build or that one? yes, but almost every game forth coming or in the last 10 years has/ and will have this same problem. The only thing i see differently is that BioWare at least acknowledges that these things need to be addressed and have all the resources to address them properly, to stack so much money in to this game then let it flop seems highly unlikely to me.

While others have lost their faith in BioWare so soon, i expect quality gaming to come from their patches and even more so expect that they will try to please their audience, will i hang on forever with my sub if they do not make an attempt? no, however they will never get the game exactly how i want it but i feel they can get it to be acceptable.

I wouldn't say lacking. Someone will say they have:

1. Datacron Easter egg hunt
2. PvE operations with various modes
3. World PvP
4. WZ PvP
5. Crafting
6. Space
7. Level another class

It is just that ALL of these things except 7 were implemented half-***, are mini games, and simply boring.

There is another game called WoW which does 1-6 100X better. For those that say SWTOR just released, why would I do 1-6 when another game does it better?

The real question is *** does SWTOR offer that another game doesn't do better???

I am currently just enjoying the only good part of this game...leveling.

Doing characters until my 40 days is up.

DAOC might be old but its PvP game is still unmatched by any new game.

Not sure what you mean by word " old " . Graphics no worse then swtor.

Honestly I am very disappointed by BioMythic for owning such a great game

and yet come out with this.

I do not mind grind in PvE as long as there is good payout in PvP.

When PvP fails then everything feels like a waste of time.
