Battlemaster never was anything but a grind to give level 50's something to do post Champion gear. It's not really even that much better than Champion gear, certainly not the same improvement Champion is over Centurion.

Now that they are making it easier they better be closer to having more for us to do on the horizon.

I agree with this, people need to stop acting like BM is a huge achievement and that it's hard to get. Those that claim that it is, are only fooling themselves..

I think there are three reasons why they are doing this:

1. Making it easier for Republics to catch up to the Imps in gear, given our numerical disadvantage and the fact that the Imps due to their numbers have been Battlemasters since the exploit.
2. Appealing to the casuals. Which makes me want to throw up (go back to WoW, WoW Kidz)
3. An admission that they can't make mass PVP playable. Which also makes me want to throw up.

This too, real pvpers will care more about the rated battleground rankings than valor rank, rofl.. While the bads will think that other players being able to have the same gear as them isn't fair.

I'm dreading the statboards coming. Warzones are already full of stat elitists. Had one jerk the other day try to tell me I didn't know how to play my Sage. He had some gaudy heal number. Well, it was a Huttball instance, and I was sticking to the ball carrier and keeping them protected and healed. So my number sucked because I was taking care of one person. Never saw the elitist jerk do anything but pvp and area heal in the center, he did NOTHING to help try to win the game.

You just have to learn to ignore people like that.

Next warzone I did was Alderran, and I put up a big heal number and got 5 MVP votes (most of anyone). Why? because that is a warzone where if you are a Sage you are GOING to put up a big heal number if you are doing your job right (ie: supporting your turret attackers and defenders). Huttball is not one such.

Most of them got it by exploiting armaments before the Ilum changes or by AFK'ing Ilum.

I get about 4 hours play time each weekday evening (I work full time) and one of the changes put in to curb the kill traders frustrates me each Tuesday: NO VALOR GAINED. See, because I tend to gain a LOT of kills and valor very quickly (because I try to get my 150 on Tuesday night) the game punishes me. So far everything Bioware has done to try to curb the cheaters ends up doing NOTHING to them and only harms honest players. I lack one piece for a full Champion set and I'm at Valor level 52. None of that gained from armament exploiting or AFK'ing. Yet I get to see the valor limit nerf every week...
