Just finished my 8th WZ today. Every WZ spawned with less then 6 Republic players... one ever started 8 to 3 in the Imps favor. A couple of them eventually filled in the Republic to 8, but by then the Imps had essentially won the match already.

On my server the Republic side is a GHOST town. Takes hour or more for a WZ to spawn, and then it looks like above. My first guild had at peak 46 players. I bailed when it was clear that only me and 3 others were actually still playing the game.

When asked, (we have the email accounts), most said they wanted to PvP, but there was no sense trying to PvP on the Republic side in this game.

Yes yes.. the fanbois are already squeeking in with the "Go play Imperial" chant, or "It only takes a week to hit 50, reroll". Most of us DON'T live in our mom's basement and play this game 24 hours a day, so we don't have the time to 'reroll' characters.

That being said, pretty much every person that has quit the game has listed the same reason. They wanted to play on the Republic side, but with the server imbalances of 2 to 1 and 3 to 1 there is no way to enjoy PvP.

Imbalance is KILLING this game, more then anything. Next billing cycle, Bioware is going to really start noticing that.

Hopefully they will do something about it before it gets ... worse(er).

I didn't see anything in the guild summit that would address this. Did I miss it or was it just not there?

I've been loving the PvP here! If you want to REALLY see game imbalance, download the LOTRO client and roll a f2p reaver (It is a very strong creep class, it's not like they gave you a crappy class to play as a free player :P).

Don't get me wrong, the game is wonderful and I'm still in love with all the classes, it's just annoying that the devs ignore the PvMP in that game.

If your going to introduce a game feature, you need to keep it up to date for the population that plays that feature.

It was briefly mentioned, but they pretty much swept it under the rug saying it was a player problem and there was nothing they could do.

lol, player problem all right.. .as in no players left!

Just finished 10th WZ today. Last two started 8 to 4 in favor of the imps. All I can say is the Imp players are loving PvP right now.

Can't really change the fact that zergs are the dominant PvP lifeform and that means people will go on PvP servers to where they think they can score an easy win- the larger faction.

The lack of targets is a result of this. They can't MAKE PvPers play the smaller faction- and it's part of why they're moving more warzones to being same-faction playable, so you don't get stuck in Huttball for eternity.
