It's a miracle if I ever get on forums for anything.

Theres no reason for this before a new level cap. if you had done this months earlier I could understand but Ive spent way too much time grinding gear in rateds for multiple characters for you to just go and screw that up. Im happy with Obroan and having a new gear set would be a complete joke.

A new gear set would change nothing for pvpers except in open world and lets be real, Obroan is already enough to kick pvers *** in open world so a new gear set is just fkn pointless. A new gear set would do absolutely NOTHING in warzones/arenas thus making it a POINTLESS grind.

You would think BW would listen with the amount of respectable pvpers coming on here and saying something.

Thoughts?

A new set this soon does seem excessive. Especially if it's not a new skin as that just makes it feel even more of a grind. However it is an MMO so I respect the need for it to continue evolving. Just prefer it didn’t so often lol.
Basically I would like to see rewards for those who already have the previous set when acquiring the new set. Obviously you don't need to farm basic coms but I feel the collection of ranked coms should be reduced somehow for those players that already have a complete set.
say.. after valor 40, every 10 levels give 5% discount at PvP npc?
something like that?

No, that gives a significant advantage to people that have bothered to grind out 100 valor. A 30% discount to PvP comm cost is significant, and would drastically increase the gap between acquisition times between fresh 55 and vet 55 characters.

The idea is to make the gearing system more accommodating to everyone, not reward people that like to grind.

I've been here since day one, probably still have a piece or two of Champion gear somewhere. I have some decent ideas and all these guys in the forums have good ideas. Are you all trying to convince me that the best idea BW can come up with is another grind. Good grief what is the developers malfunction.

Why not? Just make it "optional". As in "doesn't matter inside warzones and or ranked". Maybe just add a "requires Valor 60" to it, so it's really for pvp-players and not just a sideline equipment grind for pve-players.

So all you do is add another tier of gear that no one MUST have but every pvp player CAN have.

New Look: Yes, keep the old stuff or make them craftable again.
Vanity: Yeah... you get to look like a more 'experienced pvp player' in a WZ/RWZ if you want to.
Balance: None-Issue, as the gear gets scaled DOWN (or the current gets scaled up, who cares).
Balance 'outside': Fixed. The gap will close, albeit slowly.

New gear = the lifeblood of grind MMOS like warcraft and - lets be honest here - swtor and the likes.
New gear in pvp = a problem everywhere.

The scale mechanics are there. Just USE them.
