Just let me be clear on this…. You are essentially complaining that a guild on the other faction on your server enjoys pvp so much that’s all they do. Consequentially they got good at it. Instead of getting good yourself, you honestly thought the best recourse was to come to the forums and whine about them?!

You are either a really good troll, or a really bad player.
You cannot do that while stunned.

I consider myself a PvP player. Leveled up my first character on a PvP server (+ a few alts) only to realise that on republic side the server was quite dead (~50 players on fleet).
Therefore, I rerolled on a busy PvE server where I have RL friends. I still prefer to PvP but on PvE servers I don't have to face the severe faction disbalance which leaves the Republic side so barren.

You do have a valid concern (pugs vs premades) but your solution is quite stupid (sorry but it is). The problem is that the matchmaking algorithm is either badly made or simply does not have enough people available on a single server (even with high load) to provide even teams.

What should be added is cross server pvp, yes i know a lot of people dislike it but it would help the matchmaking system to make more even matches.

Why has nobody else made this connection?

I have exactly the same issue on my server, not as often mind you, but as a 'new 50' with no PvP gear it is very disheatening to meet a good pre-made team and be 4-0 down in Huttball before you have come out of your starting zone after your first death while it was still 0-0.

The sooner ratings and team v team are implemented the better.

How are you getting ganked if your on a PVE server?

Also find more friends to PVP with and get better at PVP to beat them. No one can help you but yourself. Goodluck. You are going to really hate this game when you get to 50 and want to PVP

I play my mains on a PVE server and I enter Wz's with a premade group 95% of the time.

How the hell are you being ganked on a PvE server?

Ultimately, why do you care so much about what other people do? So let me get this straight, they're cowards because they don't want to engage in unfair, mismatched pvp? I can't believe you are so close minded.

If you and your husband are so awful that you need other people to be dumbed down and handicapped to your level, that is you guys being bad. Don't put the onus on them for doing content that they enjoy that is available on ALL servers.

What a pathetic thread, I don't even know why I bothered posting.

This. Me too.

Why do people always want to change other people's lifes based on pure ideological reasons?

"PvP-Server" and "PvE-Server" and "RP-Server" are meaningless labels, purely for social reasons. I like PvP and don't like being ganked or one-hitted by ppl 10 levels above me.

So I PvP with premades.

We have a PvP guild on our PvE Server. So what?
If I am in a crafting guild, on a non-crafting server, am i not allowed to play?

i do a lot of PvP and still rolled PvE

for one thing, guild rolled PvE so i just went with it.
second, i see no benefit from PvP servers cause if warhammer taught me anything that this just amounts to the high-level, pimped-out with endgame gear players preying on the lower levels.

besides, the only world pvp worth mentioning is happening on Ilum and I dont need a PvP server to do that. Also PvE crowd isnt as narcissistic as the PvP bunch.
