Why do fresh 50's have the same gear as me

As funny as this is I think this is scary and close to truth.

I would however like to see a 8 man operative group with 3 healers and 5 concealment ops. I think that would be pretty epic.

I also think a 8 man merc team will wreck.

As powerful as marauder and sents are... they can be shutdown. On my sniper I am less scared of the marauder than I am of the Juggernaut or Tankassin.

I've seen something close to this in a huttball once. 6 mercs Tracer Missile spec and 2 snipers. All I knew was that I was alive with full health hitting the air vents on the side of middle and was dead before reaching the top of the boost.

Actually, Bioware's actions disagree with you. You seem to be playing a wrong game, I guess.

How so? By making the gear not insanely difficult to attain PvP can become truly competitive because everyone has comparable gear. It is only then that we can truly have competitive PvP where the deciding factor is skill not gear.

I agree. But that's the opposite of what fuzzDONTEVENTRIP was talking about.

Plus, PvP is suppose to be about skill. How many geared PvPers do you see who don't even know they have an interrupt? Or don't guard their healer? Or just run around slaughtering the lowbies and not focusing on playing the warzone?

The problem with gear as imbalanced as it is in the game, is no one really has to learn to PvP, play a warzone or use their skills. With such a huge gear gap, if you have endgame gear, all you pretty much have to learn to do is use your mouse and mash two or three buttons.

I think more people would have more fun if PvP was more skill-based. They'd actually be thinking more, winning would mean more and SWTOR would be seen as a fun PvP game. Oh, and people wouldn't be looking down the road to GW2.

A guildie was just in an 8-man pug voidstar where his whole team were Snipers. It was utterly amazing. The other team could not get anywhere near the doors and the whole game was constant Orbital Strikes.

3 days and full BM? rofl um FOS much? if your having issues with ppl with the same gear then you should probbly L2P champ...

LOL that would so own.. We had a ops/smugglers fest in a match it was just insane.

Nice try at guerilla marketing.
