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

I pvp everyday when i play this game. That is what i spend more than half my time doing in swtor. I have been full min/maxed obroan for months now and frankly im bored of just having comms collect dust or using them on an alt i rarely play.

I am glad another gear set is coming out.

Thanks Bioware

introduce new pvp gear all u want. doesn't bother me at all. I had BIS pvp gear back at lvl 46.

So stick to one toon? You don't have to be in ranked gear to be competitive. I have 2 two toons in obroan and the rest in conq and I do just as well in conq as I do in obroan. The gap between the two is extremely small and I honestly only bother with ranked gear on my two mains. Everyone else is in conq because its extremely easy to get.

That and I do the weapon trick before every new tier of gear, so meh.

We spent a disgusting amount of time grinding and mid/maxing our Obroan sets, having all that work and toil stepped on and kicked to the side just so we can be told that we have to do all that work over again makes one very much inclined to quit. It wouldn't be such a big deal if there were actually a respectable number of diverse maps to play, but there aren't. Do not make us grind through another set.

That . . . none of that made sense.

First, yes, people will play with the old content because they need to do the old content in order to get the rewards to be prepared to do the newer content. Even the old content that is antiquated have weekly/daily quests that offer rewards that allow you to acquire intermediate gear. As for adding in new and more difficult content, it's not that odd a concept. Lots of people play a game, finish it, then play it again on a harder difficulty setting; they like to hone and refine their skills by trying more difficult challenges.

Second, even brand new content would require the addition of new gear for an RPG. Otherwise, people wouldn't do it. The simple truth is that the people who want new experiences and stories are far overshadowed by the number of people who want new and greater rewards. People would play those new FPs/Ops once and never do them again because there's no reason to. That isn't poor design; that's the design principle that have kept MMOs going since they started.

So, I should do what I hate (grinding for the sake of grinding, well knowing in 6 months I am back to square one) instead of doing what I love, that is playing 3 completely different roles?
Makes sense!

Ah yes I should stick to inferior relics, not pursue BiS, because there's a "countdown" to the next gear reset.

Relics and perhaps implants/earpiece are the only thing you need to get these days. Luckily those are cheap. Only one of my characters is in full obroan, the rest are a mix of conqueror/obroan ... but mostly conqueror. I do just fine.

You also do just fine in your $10,000 Korean car, I wonder why someone in the world wants better.

BW, if you really want to bring in a new set of PvP gear, then please do what others have suggested: make it something that we'd wanna get for aesthetic reasons, not so much for new stats at all.

And please, for the love of god, no more fairy wings...

Question: How is this petition official? Did we get the UN to endorse it?
