Grind Valor 55-60

It only took 12 hours of grinding warzones to go from valor 59 to 60. And this is from a BM who didn't use exploits. Hell, I refused to step foot on Ilum when the Repub farming began after the first patch. I am also a full spec healer so my medal count is almost always dead last.

If anything, I think the level requirements to 60 are way to low. I leveled my toon mostly doing warzones from 1 - 50 and there were times when I actually lost valor because I needed to gain another character level before I could earn more valor.

(For those of you who don't know, valor level is capped to correspond with your character level until you hit 50. It is only at that point that your valor can exceed your character level.)

Now I am working on valor level 66 and I got there simply running pvp weekly and daily quests. Even with valor requirements in excess of 50k / level, it just seems like every few days I gain another level.

I don't even notice it anymore. I suppose I will probably have to hit level 70 to gain access to the next tier of pvp gear coming out soon, but the funny thing is I don't even have a full BM set yet. I still have 5 pieces to go.

Maybe I will get them before I hit 70.

Even so my old guild mates went from around valor 40 to 65-70 in one day, with no roll backs

In the screenshot she's asking Fear:

"how are you 96 valor already"

wish we could see his answer.

Cough Cough *Ilum Hero*

Seriously he either didn't sleep and did nothing but WZ's or he kill traded in ilum to get that. Either way not impressive

Aions grind trumps SWTOR by about 10 fold.

He is always on ilum since he clearly like pvp, never seen him doing any kill trading. Who wasn't part of that turret exploit if you played when we got 1.1 patch? If you wanted to kill repubs you had no other option.

Great....

That sounds like a fun game. Maybe I can stick my head in vicegripes and tighten the nuts.

That is what pvp in the game is for me at this point. The fun aspect goes away when you must grind.

Free? I've opened some 100 bags. Gotten mostly centurion. I am rank 56. I had 1000/1000 to start at 50. I had expertise when I hit 50 with about 7 enhancements. I had all orange armor with purple armor/mods (cybertech).

I've grinded out plenty.

So why don't you its free newbie probably doesn't even have 50's go troll pve boards where ya play anyways.

Free....

I've played enough and won enough. It doesn't help being an a/c that cannot medal farm healing.

It's no longer fun to log my 50. It was good as I progressed. Now? It's a bit much.

Did I start this thread to say shutdown valor? NO. I said between 55-60 its way to grindy for someone putting in massive time in pvp in a video game.

So your useless unconstructive feedback should be kept to yourself. Go back to the imp I get free valor yippie! side. I don't get free valor/armaments all day/everyday on my server. Not to mention the population is not very dense.

Am I in the minority for enjoying the current BM valor grind and feeling that it's just the right length? It really isn't THAT long and it gives you something to work towards. Current pvp progression and the time/effort to attain your goals feels about right to me.

It's a good carrot on a stick that enhances pvp to me. Once you reach the rank and get your gear believe me, warzones start losing their luster.

Some people say "Why not just pvp for pvp's sake?" Well I do. It's definitely more fun with the carrot though. Once you eat the carrot one of the draws is gone.

As far as performance in pvp with lesser gear in the meantime...Having plenty of champion gear is more than sufficient. Other than the titles over people's heads I probably wouldn't even notice the difference between a champ geared and a BM geared player. The gains of BM gear over champion are more effective at entertaining you on your character sheet than they are at making you more effective in pvp itself.

It's not "too slow". It's gear progression.. that's what MMO's are.

You are a gimmi gimmi casual player that thinks they should get all the rewards with 10-12 hours a week game time. It doesn't work that way bub.

I can't wait to see you get to BM and then go 0/10 on comms. Oh to be a fly on the wall...
