Official Petition: Please DO NOT create another tier of PvP gear for 2.7

More gear sure, but this is vertical.

I'm okay with a new gear set, gives me something to do.

I already have full Obroan, and the new stuff won't be that much better.

Just please, for the love of all that's holy, please make the enhancements cheaper?

2000 is a slap in the face, try 1000 ranked instead

This is just as stupid as asking them not to add new gear to nim palace and fortress, the gear grind is what keeps you derps playing the same pointless repetitive wz's over and over. They have no new content for pvp so another gear grind is what you will get..

I don't play for gear. I get gear so I can play without being at a serious disadvantage. If they removed gear and had bolster affect only I would still play.

The good new is that there is another lvl cap increase/expansion due aug - oct so you will finish the 2.7 gear grind just in time for it to become useless again :P

/sarcasm off

Not like anything they posted in regards to PvP was ever accurate...so who cares? Eric lies a ton anyways.

.....

I don't even have full Obroan yet, casual solo queuer, but whatever... I still have old champion gear in my bank so its not a big suprise. Seems the standard thing to do in SWTOR for PVP is gear resets. I was ok moving to the warhero gear. But I was bitter enough about bolster during the last reset I hadn't bothered much with the current one until the changes settled out. Every gear reset seems to make people lose interest because they feel like it is going to be reset in the near future anyway, well.. if they stay that long at all.

I will try not to take position here.

The quoted above is exactly why gear grind exists in MMOs. The devs idea is always to introduce new carrots the players will go after, because devs believer more "hours" = longer you stay subbed with the game = more money. It is also a way that they reward highly active players. The philosophy of carrot always require gear grind, thus there will always be new tier of gear every once in a while. As long as we have gear tiers, expect new tiers to come. It is also an inexpensive way for the devs to increase people activity (probably in theory is to keep people subbed, but won't encourage people to resub).

I personally think the following is takes higher priority than new gear:
1- Implement cross server, or at least cross region (like entire servers for US west) que.
2- Fix class balance so most classes can perform within less than 5% differential from each other. The margins on some classes are so wide (e.g. madness sin), that playing them in WZ, even casually, is very difficult.
3- Fix bolster issues.
4- Most important, MORE CONTENT. We did not have one new WZ since November 2012 (excluding arenas). And by new, I do not mean re-skin of something that is already in existence.

The above needs manpower and creativity, and TBH, I do not think BW has either.

I would prefer the devs give us at least three month notice before a new tier is produced. I prefer to grind while I have the top gear.

^ This. Absolutely.
