My Sith Assassin started off with minimal gear with all blue 50s, and I played some PvP before 1.2 and geared up to centurion until I could run dailies with ease. After that, I solo'd the heroics (Stealth FTW :P) and pretty much got the purple mods in everything I have. I then played some HMs whenever I can and ripped the champion pieces I got off PvP and placed them into my PvE gear.

It's been almost a month and I have 2 Rakata pieces, 2 Columi, and 2 pieces of Champion gear. Funny thing is, I'm not geared for PvP anymore but I have 21k health unbuffed. Not bad for a tank if you ask me, though I'm striving towards more columi gear until I can get up to 23k health.

What PvP gear do you have? A battlemaster set it super easy to get and is more than enough to run HM FP's and SM OPS.

Battlemaster is easy to get, they only take a week of farming PvP commendations (And there is a Warzone finder tool which aids you in finding PvP matches). You also get ALOT more commendations per PvP match then you do by completing a Hard Mode Flashpoint for example.

Rakata, Campaign, Black Hole, or even Columni is not so easy.

Hence the title of the thread. "PvE gear is too hard to get." Because of the commendation system (lack of crafting or credit buyout alternatives).

Flashpoints/Operations are impossible to attempt with any frequency because of population problems. Bioware acknowledges that only a small percentage of the playerbase even attempts to participate which magnifies the population problems.

Your solution is just join the status quo. Which is not going to get things changed.
doesnt matter, i run all dailies and have rakata ear and both implants, got even both speeders, so?
yesterday in fleet was 250+ ppl and i seek for any FP but lost island for more than an hour and nothing, and im a tank
while the BM armor i have it within 3 weeks of full pvp runs
i try to find ppl to do the world boses for the speeder, even in that its impossible, standing in fleet doing nothing but shouting dont leave me with much of choices to do solo things or lvl up another char cuz i want to do something
the game needs LFG tool definately

Never played WoW for more then a week free trial.

I played Eve for awhile, Everquest 2, and Planetside.

Sorc in full rakata. Assasin in full columi/rakata. Its very easy to get gear in this game. Join and active guild who raids/runs HM and build your own groups. I am on one of the lowest pop Rp servers and there is never and issue making groups. Orange gear and daily Mod/armor/enc awards will get you started.. It takes less than 5 days to get 5 pieces of armor with full purple lvl 49 mods.

I play 8 hours a day which is alot more then most people. The problem is that it is IMPOSSIBLE to find groups to do the Hard Mode flashpoints. Alot of groups that actually run Hard Modes will not take a person in their group that is wearing "less then maxxed" gear. How does Bioware expect players to get into this gear when you need the gear in the first place. ?

Im sure it was alot easier at the beginning of the game because noone had the gear yet so more people were doing them everyday. I'm not blaming other people because 99% of the problem is server population it's not peoples attitude to crappy geared players. Combine both problems though and you find yourself in my position.

I recently joined the only real active "raiding" guild on my server, but Raids are only every few days. And sometimes not even that much. For example I have only completed two Hard Mode Flashpoints, ZERO Operations, and I still have not even completed some of the regular mode flashpoints.

I have MILLIONS of credits yet I cannot buy or obtain the gear I want. I AM FULLY WILLING to spend every credit I have to get this gear, but these gear items are not for "sale", Since I cannot run the flashpoints, I can never get the commendations for the gear. Since I can't get the gear, I cannot join most Operation groups or even some HM PUG's.

So half of the game's content is unavailable to me. I am seriously debating wether I should quit because it's becoming more frustrating then fun. I have lowered myself to collecting Pet's and selling on the GTN. And running dailies.

I WANT TO DO HARD MODE FLASHPOINTS AND OPERATIONS!

Bioware really needs a CROSS SERVER FLASHPOINT FINDER (Because it would hurt their pride if god forbid they merged servers). THey need to create "Alternate" means in obtaining gear other then collecting commendations. They need to make CRAFTING gear better because its junk compared to the set's (Even after 1.2).

Bioware is like the Soup Nazi in Seinfield. "NO GEAR FOR YOU!"
easily solved get a guild and run Ops..

I got 4 pieces or rakata on my Op healer last night alone doing EV hard mode.

HM FPs are worthless unless you just want to try to get that 1 piece you need or want the comm drops.

but people still line up to do Ops every single night..

went in to EV hard wearing all champ and some OJs.. walked out with Rak Pants gloves tunic and rifle.. and the car off Soa =P

I was the only Op and flat won the roll on the car
