Change to rewards is a step in the right direction, but TTK is still way too short.

TTK is way better now in 1.2 than in 1.1. The only people who don't like it are healers who miss dominating warzones in the old set up.

TTK in SWTOR has always been way too short, even since the game was released. PvP in swtor is one dimensional, and always has been. I relish the day they fix it, and make survival builds a valid playstyle.

TTK is too low as of 1.2. This is not CoD.

The factor that has people messed up so much is healer coupled with tank. People cried about the TTK pre 1.2 cause they couldn't just roflstomp this combo even though you still can't its a lot easier.
If people would take advantage of all their interrupts and CC its be more fitting. Keep in mind that healer & tank doesn't yield a lot of DPS(not with an assassin either)

It's not for nothing that people who, through time, have taken pride in PvP are leaving Swtor.

Low TTK = low skill req.

and before I hear it; no faster pace does not equal higher skill, not as long as there is GCD. People are just dying faster and to some extent unable to do anything about it.

It's very difficult to take this kind of argument seriously. If you want to examine how healers affected PvP before the last patch, then do it. The topic has a lot of potential for conversation. But making this kind of generalization is one tiny step away from "People who disagree with me are yucky and they smell like poo." It doesn't add anything to the discussion.

Except what he said was accurate.

Except that it wasn't.

Tanking was half dead pre 1.2, now is completely dead. Also de reduction of TTK magnifies the power of CC, and I'm sure you guys love those right?

watch out dangerous comments like this upset those who think cc is a separate issue from ttk lol

Really? All it takes is one tank or DPS player who disagrees and it isn't accurate at all. In a game with hundreds of thousands of players and several times that many actual characters, I'm sure that we can find at least one.

I'm not rejecting the idea that a lot of people were unhappy with healers before patch 1.2. I'm a healer and my own teammates, the very people I was keeping alive, used to tell me that I was ruining the game. Some of them still do. There is no way that I can can deny that they were upset, and I am confident that most of them are happier (or at least less unhappy) than they were before the changes.

What I am rejecting is the assumption that every person who disagrees with the previous poster automatically falls into a tidy, well-defined category. That's not an argument. It's just a passive-aggressive threat: "Disagree with me and I am going to call you names. I am going to ignore what you actually say and, in my mind, I am going to replace you with a caricature that may have no resemblance to reality."

For me, it's hard to take that kind of statement seriously.

Low ttk != skill required

Sorry this is far from the truth. Long fights reduce the importance of strategy and tactics. In long fights, reinforcements are always a possibility, mistakes are less costly, and reaction time is not as important.
