Playing for fun is what the rest of us do (well the vast majority) but our definition of fun includes participation and contributing. Complaining about a sucky team when you are the weakest link of the chain is priceless.
Go play in some ranked WZ. That way you can avoid us noobs

Seems like a double standard to me.

For all those players who join WZ's wearing 0 PvP gear, please keep doing so but don't complain when you get smacked my me and my team mates for over 5k a piece while you are only doing about 500 points of damage to us. Really not sure how that can be fun for those that decide not to wear PvP gear but whatever... whatever floats your boat.

No, it isn't. Only difference is that you get rewards even if you get steamrolled in PvP, while in PvE you don't kill the boss you get nothing bar a fat repair bill. The fact that losing in PvP has no consequences and is rewarded have incited the players to some very unpleasant behaviors, like , I don't know, "Why the hell should I spend money to gear up when I can do it for free?" . Sounds familiar? BW should normalize WZ PvP and get some open world PvP for people that want to have gear progression. That will put a lid to many QQ topics.
And don't think that I don't get what you did there by picking the most critical class for Toth and Zorn fight . I'm willing to bet that my group could do Toth and Zorn in story mode with a naked DPSer .

Actually, levelling greens aren't the equivilent to Rakata- BM is. So it would be like doing a raid with BM geared players- which, if they're good, is quite possible- I know because I raid in full BM gear all the time as both healer and DPS.

Recruit gear doesn't do anything- he'd be better off pvping til he gets BM, then using the recruit money on augments.

I have nothing against noobs, I was one (maybe still am ) and you should start understanding that your problem is not being a noob but being an egotistical individual that doesn't care about anybody else but himself. OP wasn't booted because he is a noob, he was booted because he doesn't want to commit to rise to his potential. The fact that all he had to do was to acquire some free gear adds insult to injury.

Every so often I queue up for a warzone after pugging a flashpoint and forget to put on my PvP set. Anyone who has done this knows there is a huge difference between PvE and PvP gear.

But I'm relatively certain the OP is trolling.

Play the imp side on the fatman. The pugs almost always lose lol so it wouldn't matter.
The best MMO I have played in a long time. Not perfect but pretty close to it.

Good lord this post made my morning.

Awesome.



To the OP look I understand that you may think your rakata is good enough for pvp well my augmented war hero has as good as stats + the expertise. Its not as good, and people keep bringing up that you can only get vote kicked if you are doing literally nothing in a warzone and this is true. I rarely see people get kicked these days as all it takes is for you to engage one enemy.

Still not sure if serious.
