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

Maybe b/c BW took my favorite licensed, intellectual property and turned it into a steaming pile of crap.

Do you realize another game company CAN'T release a Star Wars game in an MMO format until BW agreement expires? Just like when SOE rented SWG. So now any SW fanboi who dreamed of playing a solid SW MMO is now screwed once again by a bad company.

We simply invested some money in the game with preorders complet edition, with subscribing and is hard to quit imediatly but in the end quiting will become best option if nothing will be changed. We will make balance and see wich MMO will satisfy our best needs and make up a choice soon after.
We are free to choose they are are free to listen customers voice or ignore it. Love cant be implememnted with force. No dialogues is a lack here and make much harm then good.

In regard to the original question posed...

Because I'm having fun. I can't imagine paying 15$ a month on something I don't enjoy.

I'm an above average PVPer (6.5/7 out of 10, let's say, probably an 8 after another month or so and my new mouse), a well-above average PVE-er, and I enjoy the mini-game that is making buttloads of credits.

Since this is in the PVP forum, I'll address that aspect primarily.

I find the war zones to be fun. They're simple, but that's welcome. Exploits aside, 8 vs. 8 is a good number. I'll take huttball over AV any day of the week, and huttball is definitely my least favorite of the three at present.

I only solo queue, which I imagine contributes to my enjoyment more than my frustration. If I did nothing but roll PUGs, I'd probably be bored 2 weeks after hitting 50 too. Instead, most of my games are actually pretty even and interesting rather than shut-out medal fests. There are morons on both sides of the field, most often, so it kind of evens out.

I feel like this game is pretty balance. No class ever absolutely destroys me (I play a Pyro PT and a Pyro Merc), making skill feel much more like a component and making my own progress as a PVPer much more real. If I fight a person one week and get smashed, I get a little more gear and learn, and if I do better the next time I see them, hey, cool. Eventually I kill them in a non-lame way, and I'm smiling for the rest of the night.

The reason things feel balanced is that everyone has a toolbox. Some classes have bigger toolboxes than other, but compared to other games, there's much more utility spread around. Almost everyone has a stun. Almost everyone has an interrupt. Almost everyone has a slow, a mezz. Everyone has an escape button and a resolve bar and a few defensive buttons to press.

Other games taught me to learn and accept that there were Kobiyashi Maru situations in PVP. Dual wielding class stuns you with your trinket down? You're dead. Guy with a big hammer is on you while his healer runs around pillar? You're dead.

That doesn't really exist in TOR outside of huge gear disparities and 2v1 situations. I can last at least 30 seconds against almost anyone in similar gear, which is long enough for me to outplay them rather than simply be paper, rock, or scissors.

To people who are threatening to unsub... what is it that you really want from the game? I don't mean which bugs do you want fixed, or which buffs or nerfs do you want to see, but in a more general sense, what are you hoping to experience that you aren't getting?

There is plenty of unfun baked into the PVP system (random bags, exploits, etc.), but that stuff is being addressed with every patch. It will get fixed. If there's something less tangible that's causing your dissatisfaction, make a thread about THAT. Everyone knows what peripherals are wrong, but the personal equation is impossible to discern in the sea of QQ.

Keep waiting

I'm done with WoW for good and this is the hot MMO of the moment, for better or worse. But yeah, GW2 will destroy this game's PvP. Only problem is nobody knows when it will release. But for now, I've got the MMO bug.

You are correct... ....The newb never played pre-CU

I cant wait till GW2 comes out.... .....So the whiners will leave.

same boat as u(one month left). Ill finish my last toon then its mass effect time(ima rerun 1 and 2 before 3).

"whiners" arent the only ones that are gonna leave.

The funny thing is that they will probably continue the whine on that forum.
There is some things I can agree on and that is that illum needs fixing, to much lag and how valor gains works now promotes kill trading so no real fighting going on.

Don't understand the battle master whine either couse I rather use my pve set when doing pvp and I'm succesful expertise is overrated.
Sure I loose when queueing solo and meeting organised groups but that has nothing to do with the gear your using.
