Meh no point of levelling to 50 i'm going to stop at 49

Even after you're geared out, level 50 pvp is just unfun, so is Ilum and Ilum will be dead when you can get kill credits to Ilum daily/weeklies in warzones in the next patch (and I know the reason why they're doing that).

How does this make 10-49 any more fun?

This could all be solved by bracket PvP. 10-20, 20 - 30, 30 - 40, 40 - 50.

There, done problem solved.

I'd make it 40-49, 50.

As it stands you can't get jack for expertise till 50, you can get a tiny bit at 46. I don't really think the 50 bracket is much different from the 10-49 bracket now either, with gear being as important in the 50 bracket as level/skills in the 10-49.

Break it up 10-20, 20-30, 30-40, 40-49, and 50's based on valor and that would be pretty good. But I agree, sounds like an easy fix right?

I'm sorry, but being 49 in a lowbie warzone is not competitive. I geared my 49 scoundrel out with purple level 49 mods in all his slots. Ouch. It was a blast hitting that last level from warzones though lol.

The irony of that statement in relation to this thread is epic!

Exactly. You guys with the advantage are dumb! Me with an advantage is fair!

For as long as there are warzones, there will be people at the top. Do I like it? No. Is every MMO or even RPG the same? Yes. Since the early NES days gear has given an advantage. No MMO will be able to break that trend. Some games do better to minimize the advantage especially in PvP, but I can't think of one that did away with it fully.

Let take a fresh new lvl 10 op/sco as an example.

If a lvl 10 op/sco with no acid blade/flechette round, no stun, no ShootFirst/Hidden Strike, no Vanish, lack of several gear slots (heads, bracer, belt, relics, etc.), and with most of white/green gears can be considered as a competitive player even with bolster by these guys, its so obviously why they cannot move on to 50s bracket. Oh wait, a lvl 10 can kill a lvl 49 when the lvl 49 has 5% hp left, wow what a skillful player.

You can find bad players everywhere, 50 or not.

You can find quitters everywhere, 50 or not. Some new players dont even know how to quit WZ that they accidentally joined.

You can find as many premades of 40s as premade of BM, hell yeah, they even need WZ comms much more than 50s since they dont want to be feeders when they ding 50.

If there are several brackets 10-19, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49 with bolster, maybe bolster can overcome skills rank + talents+gears disparity. But it is not the case in this game.

"I'm 49, I'm the bee queen. I'm 50. Nooo, I am back to be the nerdy in the class." Hypocrites are just hypocrites, no matter what reason they pull off.

This ^.

I had no problems being competitive in WZ's as a level 15. Hell, at 15 I was able to take down a level 43 player of my own class solo... twice. In the early 20's i was topping damage, and getting the most objective points... and had zero problems against level 30's or 40's. But maybe I'm doing it wrong...

Hint: Bolster OVER buffs your skills when you are really low.

These days, when I want to stomp pugs and undergeared players I go and play my 50 with our guild pre-made and pretend that winning takes skill. When I want to have fun, I play with one of my re-rolls in 10-49 pugs.

Pro-tip: there is no competitive PVP in this PVE orientated MMO, regardless of your level. So quit pretending.

I think what he means by more competitive is that hes terrible so sucks horribly in level 50 warzones, but in sub 50 warzones he can have an easy time destroying level 10s.
