Because PVP was added as an afterthought to a PVE-centric game.

They didn't think PVP would be a big component of this game, but they stated that SWTOR has (or at least had) a massive amount of PvPers so the decided to switch priorities.

Ranked WZs will be around very soon as said in the Podcast and that should revive the PvPers.

Just pointing out that citing Wikipedia is a very bad practice, especially considering the word rumor is mentioned multiple times in that article.

Cause Full scale doesn't work.

The teams are always lopsided and the smaller team will bail to a palace where they can be more effetive when given the option. (Warzones)

DaoC worked becasue you had no choice. If there was 300 enemy players and your team had 40 tough luck it was the only way to advance your character so you went out and tried to do your best.

This are great news for TOR , DAO was one of my all time favorite RPG-s ever and even DA2 was good game which could have been better if it was longer in production.

Seems like BW and EA figured that their reputation is here at stake with TOR and that in short time many competitors will come out like GW2 and Myst of Pandaria WoW newest expansions and they are mobilizing their forces to prepare for the incoming war for the customers and to make TOR even better game than it is now with the incoming updates which will prove that BW is still one the best game development studios out there and that we still can expect great things from them in the future.

TOR was to expensive project for them to make to just show the white flag to the competition so easily.

Won't matter. It will still be meaningless. If it doesn't affect the game world then there is no purpose, and no reason to participate. If a PVPer wants to play a lobby game, they'll pick one with good PVP, like an RTS or an FPS.

I am as serious as a heart attack and don't ask me their decisions defy logic.

ranked warzones arent going to revive the pvpers

putting garbage on top of garbage still doesnt solve the problem.eather way,like i put in the thread i posted,this game doesnt need more developers playing my first mmo.this game needs expieranced developers that can actually do stuff to improve the game,not more crap to just make more people bored off there asses 90 percent of there playtime and end up unsubbing when the next mmo comes out

Well the massive amount of PvPers that raged when they were pulled last minute would like a word with you, not being argumentative, but yeh.
