Like he said it won't matter 'progression' wise so BW is not really bothered about it.

Thank you for that interview. You basically drilled him with questions we were all thinking, unlike the PR questions they usually get from reporters that are told what to ask.

I really wish you would of asked to confirm rated WZs being forced 8man Q, and not some pugfest that anyone can just queue up for.

Haters will hate that if you can't solo queue for the best gear, they will "quit". Newsflash, this is a MMO, get friends and get good.

Newsflash, this is not *your* MMO, or based upon your design many people WOULD likely quit. I trust that BW will have a more intelligent design than telling people to "get good" for rated warzones- there will hopefully be some flexible options for queuing. The consequences thereby- if you have a full 8 party pre-made or partial (4 for example) lets say- fall upon the person's choice.

I think cosmetic changes only needs to be the way to go. People do not wanna be forced into ranked warzones to progress in PvP.

Why do you interviewers never ask him the question we really want an answer to.

When are you gonna admit that you suck balls as a pvp dev and how on earth do you keep getting jobs when you suck so hard at it?

And there it is. He admits they don't ban kill traders and valor exploiters.

Wonderful attitude.

answer: yes, he wants to do that.
Just to clarify: He says they are working on something like AV.

My opinion: Awesome.

Sounds great can't wait. Rated Wz's will be a blast. Seems the casuals are not happy about it though, lol.

Casual players want the best gear without having to face off against the best competition to get it. Nothing new there.

The most ironic thing about the cry of the casual isn't just that they don't want to have to compete for gear, they dont want ANYONE to be able to do it.

If you made it to where Rated players were Perma locked out of non-rated Warzones, the casual pvper would STILL not like it, because when they are standing next to the rated player in the Fleet, people will see that one has Rated gear, and the other does not. I can't beat you, and I don't want ANY system that reminds me of that, or lets others know it.

It's the American way.
