Everybody happy.
This!!
PVPers hate Gear grind and so do I

In my opinion they should even adjust bolster to make Augments and Datacrons obsolete!

And yes, it is a grind. Regardless of time investment, there is absolutely no benefit of having another tier of PvP gear. That's the crux of the problem.

And thanks for being stuck in decade old mentalities.
I want more gear to obtain, more GOALS. MORE CARROTS.

Isn't why you and I play MMOs ?

There are games out there that suits your needs, GW2, ESO. SWTOR has always been around obtaining more gear and better gear. If you don,t like the design, ****.

Aaanyway. I obviously agree with this petition, just like any other sane human being would. Bring on other forms of progression...i can't even begin to imagine who the heck would want a new 'same ol' grind, and this soon!?

The ONLY thing that happens when a new Gear-set is released, is that the ammount of ppl with a gear-gap between you and them increases. A grind for better stats in a system where we have Bolster (lol) with the goal to make everyone on equal terms is...contraproductive at best.

Personally i find the very idea of implementing a new PvP grind at this point offensive and insulting.

The point of this thread is to collect those concerns so they won't be lost in the Bolster thread.

A new PvP tier is not progression. It is just needless grinding that does nothing for PvPers. If you want to fix gear, please just fix bolster so that Obroan is BiS.

Just from that one thread alone, in less than 24 hours, here are the concerns posted by the community on the issue:

It will all probably be a set full of blue mods.....

It's only a carrot if that grind results in more fun, or a noticeable improvement. With bolster in place, you are pretty much just running to stand still. Absolutely nothing improves when you have your new set.

It is a grind at it's worse.

Because some people like the game enough that they don't want to waste time on carrots that are made of Bantha

Leet stuufz shoudl take hard work and dedication to get. As it is everyone and their grandmas can have BiS gear in a reasonnable time.

@ the pseudo real PvPer that thinks gear shouldn't matter ? GW2 is right there. As it is right now you can be competitive due to bolster in any gear.
It's not about that. It's about it being utterly meaningless.

I would absolutly LOVE a progression ladder for PvP, that is extremely hard to top and maintain. Im ALL FOR that kind of grind - but not for another set of gear which will only cost me money and in the end ill see no difference at all. That. Is. Not. Progression. (Imo)

Otherwise, you are going to be outmatched to the inflating stats on PvE gear in the open world. For as little often as that happens, I still would rather not relegate myself to only existing in a Q somewhere while standing safely on the fleet or being forced to go to PvE to get up to level.
There are certinatly ways around that. If they wanted. But they dont.

I and my imp guild run outworld PvP. Never had the slightest need for huge PvP gear. Can destroy them today, can destroy them tomorrow even if they gain 1-2 more k health.

Quite the opposite. These days we are not "kids" any more and time has become a scarce and precious commodity. Please feel free to go play your favourite Korean grinder. Because grinding like a donkey automatically makes you oh-so-pro!


Reality check: I PvPed totally happily in Warhammer where past gear cap there was... nothing. And I could focus in learning to play instead of learning to grind more.

I PvPed totally happy in Guild Wars 2 and there the PvP gear grind is exactly what it should be: zero. You get PvP gear directly handed to you and you just focus on what's fun: PvP.
