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

Because:
-It's fun.
-My Battlemaster title is too old now and I want the "War Hero," "Conqueror," etc titles.
-I like playing with/against people I know and building rivalries.
-Other games focus on an iron age past with elves, wizards, and magic--they might as well be Biblical fairy tales--and swtor is on a galactic scale.

I actually really enjoy the lvl 50 WZs and Ilum on my server. We have organized weekly faction wars, play attack/defend using the turrets at our bases, and are planning other events like 1v1 tournaments.

If you really need something to do and think that swtor pvp is boring:
-I highly recommend playing in WZs without any armor. It's hilarious, really difficult, and makes doing 250k+ dmg an accomplishment instead of a "really bad game." You can also try doing it with neither armor nor a weapon, but unless you're class has a weaponless attack like my Vanguard's "Gut" that may be a bit tricky.
-You could keep track of your voidstar/huttball/alderaan stats like fastest round won (voidstar attack), fastest huttball 6-0, and how many times you've won alderaan 600-0.
-Join the Republic side because we are always outnumbered.

It appears that a lot of the people who constantly complain about swtor lack the imagination necessary to make pvp fun. Even if you played counter-strike in CAL and traveled to CPL tournaments they were still the same maps over...and over...and over...The only game that constantly changes and has new maps/content is minecraft.

PvP is trash. I am quite an accomplished pvper and from an objective stand point I can easily state that this pvp is amongst the least satisfying I have seen. I bought this game as a filler untill gw2 but it barely even lasted a month. Sad.

Must not be pvping or trying to level w/friends since even that doesn't work well. Maybe PvE operations, ok I buy that as you must have never played WoW or burned yourself out on WoW endgame.

Obvious troll is obvious. If you don't like SWTOR and you like WoW, you know what to do don't you?

I occasionally do Ilum, but I don't bother with the Daily of running around clicking on Boxes. The Pubbies on my sever make a decent effort to go to Ilum and we have some World PvP atm, and it will get better as more people get to 50.

But, 98% of the time I play in Warzones. And 85% of my Warzones are Huttball. But overall, I like PvP. The PvP in this game is fun and rewarding if done right and as a team. I enjoy ranking up in Valor and I like the grind for Champion gear... It's no different from the other MMO's I have played in the past and the PvP Imo is better.

Just think of another popular game you might play: CoD. It pretty much a 1st Person Warzone... it takes hours and hours to rank up and gain weapons and it is not fair at all... yet people aren't complaining about it. They just accept that 50s will stomp on them at first and they'll get it in the long run.

My estimation of this post is that you continually lose in Warzones... No one likes to lose, but start getting in General chat on your Fleet and asking people that you think are experienced PvPers to form Pre-mades...

If you don't like to lose, lead your team in order to win. People will follow your lead.

Other then that man, just hold out. It can only get better from this point. Soon we'll have Ilum fixed completely and more Warzones to play in.

I don't like WoW but I like SWTOR less, get the facts straight
