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

I will grant you this, but there are still premades. It also has the added problem of having randomly stacked teams, one with high level players and one with low, which is just about as bad as a premade.
True but it still happens and is supposed to be changed in 1.2 as they are supposedly removing dailies
Ive actually found the opposite to be true. Particularly in the case of alts.
Pretty sure most people are there doing the PvP daily, or grinding experience and or comms for level 50, so false.
Umm pretty sure u dont have to 'deal' with ilum in the 50s bracket either, doing it is a choice not a requirement, i never do ilum on my 50s
Umm what? why would you 'worry about grinding gear'? i fail to see what the problem is.

To sum up, you enjoy killing level 10s on your 49 because it makes you think you're amazing. You are not. Get over it.

Who cares if Bolster overbuffs your skills if you don't HAVE any skills to speak of when compared to a lv49?

I bet you didn't know this, but not every class gains their important abilities at the same rate. So while you may have done well at 15 (I did well and topped damage/kills from 10 all the way to 50 as a PT), not every class can do this. My Marauder at lv10 can barely break 75k damage, and has ZERO utility.. no snares, no stuns, 1 immobilize in Force Charge, no sprint, no real interrupt, nothing.

Also, make no mistake. You're still stomping pugs and undergeared players in 10-49 warzones, only now they don't even have essential skills or talents to even pretend to be a match for you.

This is a true statment. Granted it would be pretty damn hard to win for the lvl 10, but it is still in the realm of possible. Where as a fresh 50 has zero chance agasint full Champ.

I'm hitting 50 on my guardian tonight (50k experience is literally two or three wz's), and as a level 49, PvP is laughably easy. I got myself 2 different purple level 49 enhancements, a purple level 49 hilt, a purple level 48 shield generator, and orange/blue gear for the rest. On Alderaan, I legitimately was being attacked by three people at a turret (level 42-ish, 37-ish, and 35-ish) and I held them all off for a good while. I killed two of them, had time to stop, call for help with a somewhat long sentence, and accept a few gathering missions in the midst of it. I killed 2 of 3 people attacking me while accepting rewards and calling for help. But I certainly have no unfair advantage


I look forward to level 50 on my JG. I'm going to casually get all of my gear (which will take a little bit), but I have saved up about 1000 mercenary and 1000 wz commendations, so with the champion bag I have and the 5 I can buy, I'm set. Or I can just wait to buy the commendations straight from the vendor, which they say will happen in 1.1.5. After that long wait and all of that time being completely rolled over, I will start to have a fighting chance. Slowly but surely, I will become a competitor. And the cool thing? I'll be able to say I advanced to the top of the game with this character instead of desperately trying to avoid progress. Huh. Imagine that.

Play the game how you like, but I think to so strongly discourage others from trying to progress is a little silly

It's good to know that I beat a BM Vanguard as a fresh 50 Pyro Powertech in my first match at 50, even w/ zero chance. Even had 8k more health than me.

Way to beat them odds, I guess.

You do know that you are playing SWTOR, an obvious WOW clone.

Don't get why people say sub-50 bracket is more competitive. It might be more fun for YOU, but it's not as competitive or as balanced as the 50 bracket.

Sub-50 matches you have to carry every game otherwise you lose because your teammates are that bad.

It is easier to dominate at sub 50 which is why it is more fun. Terrible players can dominate people through gear, talents and better class abilities. Level 50 is definitely more competitive thus require more time, grinding, and more skills to have more fun.

Thus, I will most likely stay at the 10-49 bracket like the OP.

I see what you did there...

Are you referring to the sub-50's bracket or the 50's bracket here?

Just curious.
