Back to no-skill headless-chicken circles now if I'm not in a preformed group at any given time.
Winning and a good fight is good enough for me. The other junk is just a bonus.

Outside of the name calling. I completely agree.

There are few people that actually get better just because they have gear.
All in good fun

If they are literally incapable of ever learning how to play, then they should probably stick with pve.

Most of use "hardcores" just come from a generation where you got ZERO (or negative) rewards for losing. And yet we all played then. And yes, I have a full time job, a girlfriend, i'm an amateur investor, bodybuilder, and I have friends and hobbies. I also play 3 others games besides swtor. But keep blaming badness on time invested.
sorry but that made me laugh valor 70+ 3 other games and all that other stuff you do how many hours does your day have? fulltime job is 8 hours to me then i guess you sleep 8 hours? that leaves you with 8 hours to do all that play 4 diffrent games grind pvp spend time with girlfriend work out hang with friends do your hobbies eat shower and so on pls be realistic

I like the new rewards for losing. Before the minipatch, when it looked even kinda bad, everyone just left. This caused spawn camping and a lack of medals for us, which means even if we DID stick it out, we'd get little to nothing. Getting 3 medals while going 2v8 is really, really hard.

Since the patch though, there have been games of us losing Alderaan by quite a bit that we've turned around and won, Voidstars where a sudden and unexpected surge of coordination allowed us to overpower the winning team so bad we capped the door in the first push (compared to their second or third), and even when we'd lose a Huttball 3-2, we'd still come out with a big pile of rewards for our effort.

Win or lose now, everyone is better off.

Same here. Now if I get backfilled into a match, I don't mind sticking it out because I know I'll get some reward. That's good for everyone: the team getting rolled gets some help, the team doing the rolling has a more even fight/competition and I still get some points.

I also like it than when occasionally (not blaming my team every time) I get a lousy team, I can still do my best and get good rewards. It feels right.

Obviously, he wants to stroke his e-peen by rolling over undergeared people and making himself feel like a PvP god. But, the game is not built for the 1-5% who want to feel all warm and fuzzy about their e-peen. It's built to make money and for people to play it because they have fun. Not because they want to feed your ego.

If you must know, I work until 5, go to the gym until 6:30, come home, eat and play tor until about 10:30, (3.5-4 hrs per weeknight), play other games until about midnight. Then I spend the weekend with my gf and friends, with maybe a sunday play session. It doesn't take a lot of time to be competitive in TOR. That means I get 5 dailies and the weekly done, plus about 17.5-20 hours of warzoning. I have 1 war hero piece so far.

It's hilarious that some of you have actually convinced yourself that you lose because you're facing premades and you're undergeared and other people have no life. Trust me, if you were good, you would be invited to a premade, or you would reliably be able to build your own. If you were good, you would still win enough matches to get your rewards (not even counting loss rewards), and you would be geared by now. If you're having problems competing, it's because you're not very good.

That is a hard pill to swallow for a lot of the fragile egos on this forum. They want to pretend like its unfair, but the truth is that it couldn't be more fair. Enough with the excuses, accept responsibility for your losses, and GET BETTER.

I quit right after Trials of Atlantis hit.

This quote amused me, since RR12 wasn't added until much later than toa, and all of 4-5 players had hit R11. Nice try, liar.
