So the point of rated WZ gear is...

If we gave our suggestions based on what BW could do I'd spend most of my time praising it's deep Open world PVP and how I love my new Cyborg Unicorn Mount.

They have made no indication they're going to add those items in 1.2 so *** is the point of acting like just because they can this thread is moot?

why player play only if there is a reweard?

i am 100% sure that when i was young i was playing mostly for the fun of it and never for a reward

why do yuo play soccer or tennis with a friend? why do you play monopoly or risk

why people have always always always always ruined any MMO begging for more and more reward? Learn to play for fun and not for a *********** reward of a couple of useless pixel.

i would have been in orange gear anyway, then again, my self worth has no correlation to my character looking ubar

That's so totally not the point. It's stupid to even have the reward if it's not usable. That's the point. If their intention is to have a ranked WZ reward that is a cosmetic reward that is distinguished, they are failing because no one will wear this gear because it is in fact worse.

Whether or not there should even be rewards is a completely different issue that is irrelevent to this topic.

Well said sir.

Oh, they'll wear it. For the same reason they want to teabag you. Because they want you to know that they are better than you.

you dont understand i think, the no point having different looking set from rated pvp because anyway crit crafted orange gear will be bis cause if the augment slot

Insignificant.

You have to earn the mods to put in the oranges. Aside from the potential for oranges to be crit-crafted with an augment slot, it will make no difference. Everyone can acquire a crit-crafted piece of orange gear.

Again, if you want PvP that matters - push for equalized gear from start to finish in the ELO ladders. It's ePeen players that want their gear to get better as they climb the ELO ladder so it's easier for them to squish those lower.

Wait, wut?

So you are leaving a game where they are trying to make gear have less impact on the PvP experience for a game that gear has less impact on the PvP experience.

Okay...

Well then, if we cannot make suggestions based on what Bioware could do then we may as well just close down these forums then.

Bioware could implement their current concept for rated warzone gear and they may not. It's their decision - whether you want to continue paying your subscription afterward is your choice.

The most logical solution, in my opinion, between crit-crafted gear and PvP/PvE end game gear is simply provide an augment kit to add augment slots to gear. If they don't, then yes - the majority of min/maxers (however small that segment is) will hastily run to yank the mods out and shove them in their moddable gear.

I can tell you this. Augment slot or not, I would have paid all the credits my characters possess to avoid the abomination that is known as PvE republic hats. I dumped my Sage because of that ludicrous looking head fan (and due to the classes' excessive popularity). At least the Trooper version is marginally acceptable, though I have hidden my helm now.

Augment kits will resolve the majority of the moddable vs end-game gear issue.
