Untrue Im playing a level 38 with only 36 expertise and I still work it. and yes level 49 guy with 150 expertise will pretty much own unless he had like 8 people on him.

One of those deals where people are going to "BE ANGRY" no matter what. Okay fellas here is your chance to show your "OBJECTIVITY" . . . Quote my post and "BE OBJECTIVE". . . . sry for how weird this is. . dont want it deleted again. Sure is hard to take BWs side.

As for rewriting the code for acquiring the War Hero gear, that doesn't seem like it would be too much of a hassle. I mean if it was intended to be used by having X rating, and X number of rzw comms, you'd think it'd be pretty easy to just change the code so that no rank requirement is needed to purchase X gear, and change rzw comms to standard wz comms. I don't know, just sayin'. Definitely shady to pull it back last minute, just can't say that I agree that it was part of a hidden agenda from day 1.

Breakdown. It is REALLY easy to delete a chunk of programming if it is causing problems. Bam! rated WZs gone. Changing the parameters on a vendor that is already in the patch programming by copy and pasting programming code that was probably already in place somewhere else takes less than twelve hours I'm sure. So basically, no consipiracy you bunch or paranoid weirdos. Dooh dooh dooh.....Marijuana affects the brain........

Copy/pasted responses from community managers and forum moderators sure make me feel better about the problems that this company has with customer service. Yep. Every single one of them.

Also, does it bother anybody else that after you make a post, it says "You now have the option to vote if you included a poll", even though that is ANOTHER missing feature about this game experience?

This is no different of the "Dance Studio" and "Path of the Titans" broken promises. Every MMO has its share.

I for one, welcome this... more brackets means worse PVP queues. I love PVP to stay casual, because my ***** is big enough that i dont need to show others how good i am... i just PVP to melt some faces for personal enjoyment

Just unsubscribed and hope more people do the same this can not be left unchecked.

Bioware lying is a bad thing!

they either had to tell us a week ago (or whenever they realized that rateds were bugged/not working) or they tell us right before the patch hits in order to get as many subs in as possible, either way people would be pissed, but this way they get as many subs as possible

do you have any idea how many people resubbed in the last few days excited to play rateds?

Yeah I mean can they have a full coded patch "ready" for implementation. Then in 8 hours pull out all the code for just rated pvp zones.. IMO this was removed from the patch long ago. Its like building house with a centralized bathroom then 8 hours prior to the construction pulling the bathroom out. You can't it will affect everything.

It's silly to me that people resub just for one specific part of the game. Why even spend your 15 bucks on the subscription fee if all you are going to do is pvp the entire time? The pvp in ToR isn't even spectacular, and you'd get just as much fun out of playing something like League of Legends. Paying that much money a month is suppose to be for getting the complete package, so if you are complaining that you resubbed just to see ranked warzones not coming in 1.2 you're a moron.

On topic, I'm glad they aren't releasing it completely unfinished. That would be a terrible idea, and there would be hundreds of threads pop up just like this one of people whining and complaining about how it's terrible and they are going to unsub. At least there is enough content in 1.2 where I'll have plenty to do before they release a polished version of ranked warzones.
