Either change the minimum pvp level to 20 or give 10-20 their own noobie bracket.

Lol I have played WZ at 10 and topped the charts, sure they dont have as much utility but that doesnt mean they are hurting the team. Your team doesnt get facerolled because of level, from my experience teams get facerolled for lack of team cohesion and organization. For instance if you have a team of all lvl 10s who works together in huttball they stand an excellent change of winning, if you have a team of 49's in huttball who are running all over the place and mostly just fighting the opponents they see and not focusing on the objectives they will almost always lose.
Level does factor but in a minor way. I play alot of premades with my guild and often times we take low level alts and pwn the enemy, then I will que solo, get alot of high level idiots who dont go for objectives and we get roflstomped. Logic, facts, and common sense are your friends.

Ya I'll bite.

I did 135k damage as a level 10 Jedi Guardian yesterday. The amount of horrible horrible 30+ players was insane.

I que to start banking adrenals and medpacs, and cap my Valor level, so at 50 I have 100's of consumables, Valor 49, as well as 3500 ranked comms and 2000 wz comms, so I can have a 4 the second I ding, plus MH wep, plus anothe piece when i finish the daily.

That's why.

Wow, that is just dumb. They are so deperate to stroke their epeen they give up the creds, exp, and valor for 10 miunutes of deathmatch... Weak.

That's like level 50's camping a level 20 planet and ganking lowbies screaming "This is a PVP server!"

That does make me laugh, play 9 minutes of huttball, ragequit and get NOTHING for that time 30s to end. And the ganking....oh the hilarious arguements for it "This is PvP (no its ganking)" or "Its cuz I haz mad skills(if you did you could gank equal levels)" But lets not forget these 50s are obviously superior pvpers which is why they must attack players 20 to 30 levels lower than them.

meh, while a lvl 10 is missing some talents and a few abilities. it's not going to make a break a warzone. their raw damage numbers when played well show they can easily contribute to the warzone. . .plus the fact that you dont even HAVE to put out good dps numbers to be successful in a warzone.

they queue up for the xp and/or to get a head start on their valor/commendations the level 20 and 40 pvp sets are really good, even for pve leveling. it's not like your team is the only person that gets a lvl 10. there will be other teams, and on the opposing faction too. everyone levels a toon at least once.

Two reasons to pvp at level 10:
1. For the very first PvP daily, you just have to complete 2 warzones. Win or Lose, so why not?
2. Some people haven't played the game and want to see the maps. Yes, not everyone that has wanted to play has yet.

There is nothing wrong with queuing as a lvl 10. You can not only contribute to the success of the team but excel even if you just pay attention and do what you need to do as a team to win so i thought "hey i have a lvl 11 sitting around doing nothing" and i logged him in, queued up. I figured good or bad ill just post a SS of the first match. Here it is.

I don't think of myself as uber or leet as a PvPer, i would say I'm pretty average.
I didn't turn out to be the super hero of the match but i did just fine at lvl 11, carrying the ball twice to their in-zone, passing it once to get a goal and right here as the match ended i have the ball again.

Just rolled a Merc and I've been queing at 10, only 13 now and I've been breaking 300k in dmg. That's why I love 1-49 it's less depended on gear/expertise.

I level all my characters mainly through warzones, as I simply have no appetite anymore for PvE questing after years and years of MMO play. So yes, I'm in there at 10...and 11...and 12...if people don't like it, oh well. It's true the skills gained with levels are a big help, but if you play the objectives intelligently, you can be an asset to your team at any level. And certainly some classes already have the tools to be a force at level 10--I was topping the damage list by a wide margin on my level 10 vanguard.

There used to be a very serious drawback to low levels in warzones before they got sprint, but now that everyone has that, it's really not a big deal anymore.
