New PvP changes = not making sense and not rewarding

I personally don't get the whole AFK issue, I mean if you're not playing PvP anyway why even join?

The gear you get is meant for WZs anyway, which the AFKers clearly don't want to do, so why are they grinding commendations and valor to be able to get gear for something they clearly get no enjoyment from?

To look cool? But most end tier PvP armor looks kind of... Well, BAD.

The level 40 moddable stuff I can understand people wanting, I'm probably going to use that for PvE if nothing else because the sentinel armor looks totally ******. (I wasn't aware that constituted a swear, dear filter, so let's just say I said "awesome" and be done with it.)

But why spend all that time idling for something that looks as if someone melted a candle over your normal gear?

Try PvP'ing for fun, playing competitively and trying to win. PvP just for the sake of gear is the most pointless stupid thing you can do. If simply playing PvP is not fun for you, then you may want to rethink spending all your time gearing yourself to be better at PvP.

That would be like me working overtime so I could afford to buy a bunch of camping gear, even though I hate camping and never plan to go. Why would I do that?

That is sort of what I was getting at, if I was doing it for the gear I would've just bought all the level 40 gear with my commendations that I have now and left.

I like to pvp for a while each day because it's more fun than beating up mobs, and to prepare me for any hapless idiots that try to gank me while I'm gathering herbs.

You are asking the wrong question.

The question should be, why bother PvPing in the first place?

If you just log in to get your commendations/valor and afk and watch TV...Then do yourself a favor and just watch TV. What's going to happen when you max out valor/gear? Following your logic you are just going to stop queuing all together because "what's the point?" right? So just save yourself time and money and stop queuing now.

I wonder how many of you would have cried about Felucca being imbalanced.....

PvP is noobsauce in this game any way you look at it. They have an inexperienced PvP dev working on it and all of you are arguing which pile of doodoo tastes the best.

Play or don't play. It is that simple. It will never compare to GW2 when it comes out.

this ^


also I'm willing to bet all those people saying GW2 will be epic and nothing will compare are the same people that used to say SWTOR will be epic and nothing will compare..

seeing the pattern yet?

Dude quit the game then. Take every QQer with you please. Just please. Not single top player on any server is QQing about any of this. Only trash who need the gear advantages care about these changes.

The only people who are upset are the people who are losing their gear advantage. They complain the game isnt competitive even though this only improves competition. Having equal gear just makes the QQers uncompetitive because theyre lousy players and needed the edge in gear to be viable. Majority of players I play with welcome it, allows their alts to hit BM faster and makes the overall environment more competitive especially since ranked play is coming soon.

btw...

10 win/losses in WZ's = 30 ilum daily tokens... That's 2.5 hrs of warzones to get your daily done!

30 kills in ilum = 10-30 minutes TOPS.. why the hell are people so upset about the 3 you get per warzone!



the real problem is afk'ers which is gonna be dealt with next!

I believe they already announced they were going to do something about it. I recall reading something saying they will allow players to vote out other players from WZs

PvP for PvP’s sake is an empty thing. PvP for the sake of the true, PvP for the sake of the good and the beautiful, that is the faith I am searching for.
