That's the name of the game, otherwise, what's the point in working for the gear?

In short, I got over it, continued to PVP, continued to research my spec/mods/stats, learned a lot, and eventually, started handing people their asses back. And yes, ticking for 1000k on a fresh fifty does have its moments of satisfaction/retritubtion.

But wanting to quit and quitting are two different things and personally, I'd rather NOT queue with a bunch of people who'd have otherwise given up if everything in the game wasn't handed to them in a nice neat package.
I can respect that.

but look at the pros also. Now you can make another toon and not have to worry about gear grind so much or worry about when you hit 50 you gonna lose so so so... many matches.

and folks who just got the game or are thinking about getting the game are not so worried about "being so far behind everyone else". I cant tell you how many games i wanted to try but didn't because of how long it had been out.

See, that makes perfect sense to me, and very articulate. Thanks! Unlike the others calling me a "carebear" and a 15 year old boy (when I'm an adult working woman) when all I've done is not "grinded to the top in a race" but just PVPed like I like to do.... the gear was just the only obvious and immediate benefit of pvping a lot, other than the rush of slaughtering fools, obviously.

Game after game, I get sick of you PvE gear progression carebears thinking your hot stuff because you race to get the gear advantage, and then wait at the top of the cliff waiting to stomp on the fingers of any trying to get up there with you.

Hey, I'm really happy for you, I'm sure all those sleepless nights playing, wizzing in a gatorade bottle, and choking down hot pockets to work "really hard" to be battlemaster first was such a rush!!

Now, man up and ask for some equal competition. Don't base your selfworth on a game
Perhaps you should try less conjecture and more empirical evidence because

a) I'm a grown woman with a full time job and I live with and play SWTOR with my significant other. We have no children and dont' waste our time with cable TV, so we play together in our offtime.

b) You splitting hairs with my choice of the word "worked" doesn't help your case. By "worked really hard" i just meant, I just obviously did it better and more often than you and the others crying about "getting your fingers stomped" because there WAS NO GRIND for me. And we all start at level 1... Logging in and PVPing once I finished my class quests (back in January) is what I like to do, and for such, I will (or should) acheive BM more quickly than someone who doesn't PVP as much. That's a given. Why is this a problem for you again?

c) since this is my first MMO and I've never PVE'd in my life (other than questing to 50), I'll just admit my ignorance right now of what a "carebear gear progression" is.

d) trying to whizz into a gatorade bottle would be very messy for a girl. And nowhere did I state this game has ANYTHING to do with my self worth? It's a GAME "bro." Relax.

e) again, I'll do my best to "man up" but these lady parts tend to get in my way. And by the way, I DO have competition, it's just not your lowly toon with 0 expertise wondering why you always lose your WZs. It's the other people who put the time and effort and thought into what their toon is wearing, and they provide pleny of competition. Why don't you put your time in and join the party with us?

battlemaster was never an achievement to begin with. you can literally go afk on ilum and hit battlemaster within a couple of weeks.

Seriously, you carebear gear progression types need to stick to PvE. Thats what this gear stuff is you know, PvE.
Here's a quote from you on the forums crying about quitting 2 weeks ago:

"I quit the game and unsubbed"

Seriously, you quitter types need to stick to quitting. That is what this troll stuff is, you know, trolling.

no idea.

but for serious, you can literally do any one of the following:
  • give a bunch of people your class group buff
  • put guard on a healer and /follow
  • put guard on a dps and /follow
  • join an ops group and /follow a random member

then just activate any clicker program (there are many out there) to simulate a click on the part of the screen where you click to revive every 10 seconds or so. if you die, it'll respawn you and your character will automatically start to follow the player again. if you don't die... cool!

or hell, if you're a melee dps and in a guild group, just join the group and talk over teamspeak for an hour or so while the sages/sorcs/commandos/mercs do the killing for you.
