*protest for bolster removal*

Gear gaps exist for a reason, you don't like it? Stop playing a MMORPG and go play Call of Duty where everyone is equal or Guild Wars 2...

I had to deal with recruit gear and did not cry about it

I played the objective learned my class and eventually got my WH gear, I found every moment enjoyable.

We haven't forgotten yet. Pvp in this game will remain a joke as long as sanctioned exploitation is in place.

Take it out of 55 pvp. PLEASE listen to us. We are your fans. We play your game. Just scrap it.

I still think bolster has the potential to be more beneficial in 2.0 than it was prior, and do not wish to see it completely removed.

That is assuming it will be made to do more of what is supposed to, whilst not being so glitchy and exploitable.

/signed remove it for RWZ

This. Too many holes in it that won't be patched for weeks and weeks. BY then, all this 'new population' of lol PvErs you corral in will be playing by themselves when the actual PvPers mostly up and leave for another MMO.

Eric, your organization (note I'm not pointing YOU out!) claims it listens to its player base. Well, doesn't look that way to me. Put a poll on bolster here - or even better, do a pop-up poll about 55 bolster in live (you know, like you guys did in beta), see how universally panned it is.

Then end it - for good.

Again meet 13 k recruits or pve'ers with 0 expertise in wz team? No, thanks.

Bolster is fine. Stop being bad, stop crying on forums like 9-years kids, learn to play.

I kill bolstered fools just fine. Nobody wants PvE players to be irrepairably screwed either. Well, some people do, but they are in the minority.

If Bolster was fine, there'd be no means to exploit it via dishonest/off level gear.
When I see people rolling into warzone with sub 55 gear (and no, I'm not talking about exploiting augments) and having better stats then I have, that's where my issue is. When I see PvE gear bolstering up equal or better then my own conqueror gear, that's an issue.

If Bolster worked completely as intended, it WOULD be fine. I understand from the dev posts how bolster is SUPPOSED to work.However, there's still more holes in bolster then a block of swiss cheese, and they won't be found/fixed for months.

remove it.
Its terrible...

Get rid of bolster.
