Can this be removed already, it serves no purpose except holding people back once they hit 55... I could grind all the comms I need for PvP gear from level 40 to level 55, but instead I have to get against the cap and then buy and refund weapons over and over until I hit 55... It's completely ridiculous, and of all the things wrong with PvP this one seems like an easy fix...

Actually a pretty good idea, which means it will get tossed into the "no" bin.

I agree. It would be nice to hit 55 and have a full set of PVP gear ready to go for those of use who are PVP'ers.

BUT as the person above me stated, it's a good and reasonable idea so it wont't happen. Shame.

It's the BW backwards universe. Instead of allowing people to save up and buy gear they're introducing bolster to level the playfield. Bolster can still be there but for a good deal of people it would have been better to buy the gear. Nor is it in any way affecting player activity because those who are reaching the caps pre-55 will most likely also PvP at 55, regardless of being min/maxed. The fact that we can juggle PvP gear to increase the cap is just making the whole thing worse because if they truely were against a higher cap they could have just fixed it. So they're basically giving it the OK but cba to make it easier for the PvP'ers by increasing the cap .

BW doesn't get it, and never will, thus the mediocre game we have called SWTOR.

Meh, that doesn't bother me as much as how low the comm rewards feel now after the double rewards event. I kinda wish they would make that a standard. Getting 250+ comms a warzone felt WAY more reasonable for a full match that can go on for 20 minutes rather than the measly 120 or so.

Doesn't say much, considering every MMO on the market is pretty much in poor shape.

I'd rather have players bank their comms and ready to purchase a full set of gear than having the craptastic bolster we have now, but that's just me.

I don't expect TOR to break that mold, that was evident since release.

Well, let's see. The cap does make you spend the comms faster to avoid losing them.

It does piss the player off a bit. if he's trying to save up a lot for multiple purchases.

It is enough for at least one purchase.

Overall, just based on feel, I thing a slight bump up to 35k cap would apease the peasants, including me.
