Tiers would be nice
or an option to fight in tiers. I forsee this being a huge problem when there are 50 premades in full Champion, making level 10+ PVP in Warzones inaccessible.

If you want to level to 50 PvPing that is all well and good but don't complain is all I meant. I PvP’d a bit around 20 & 40, but went hardcore at like 48-50. A lot of people are on the final approach to 50, and some like me have been 50 for a week now. The game is designed to get you there in less than 100 hours of played time, much less than most MMOs which usually is double that. Once the servers have a good breath of levels they are going to have brackets. They said this system was a soft intro to PvP for the first month (approximately).

I honestly can’t wait until they put the brackets in. Half the time I leave Warzones when I go in and everyone on the team is like 10-25. I did premade-warzone group with 3 other 50s one morning, and it wasn’t a matter if we would win it is how fast.

Level 50 should have it's own bracket due to the lack of expertise available at any other level. Bolster helps otherwise, but once the expertise gets thrown in it's basically a no win situation for those without it.

It's probably just a short term issue until there are more level 50's and a 50 only bracket can become more viable for queue times.

I've been killing level 50's since I was level 25 (yeah, some levelled that much faster then me.)

Its not that hard. realize a level 50 isn't just a guy with more points then you, but a guy who's played more hours, and had longer to get good at his class. Also, who knows how much pvp gear he has, probably more then you. But I can still kill them 1 on 1, sometimes

Gear with set bonuses, relics, top level abilities...level 50 players easily out-match lower levels, unless they are completely terrible.

Coming next: level 50 griefing on planets with world PvP.
I don't always use lightsabers, but when I do, I prefer Dos Blades ...

I have been pvp'ing in swtor since i was lvl 14 and so far i have not seen to much complications. Granted along the way i was put up against teams with like 3+ lvl 50's on their side and you really notice the difference. Now that i am 41 i can take on 50's that are normally geared and stand my ground but some have already some very good pvp gear and then things become a bit more complicated it not undoable but a fight takes quite some time and from a 1vs1 standpoint its really nice but the bottemline is he/she is taking all my time from helping my team.

But i do agree that a seperate bracket for the 45~50 maybe even the 40~50 should be introduced at some stage. Imagine once the majority reaches 50 and starts coming in with pvp gear and some poor level 20 decides he wants to go and pvp with his buddies only to come out against a team decked with 50's in pvp gear..... I don't think that such a good idea not to mention unfair. Sure they will be boosted but its simply not going to save them from people geared for pvp. Even if the 50's suck they simply will have the gear advantage and will takes ages to kill.

Thats all they need for brackets is 1-49 and 50 but as it sits now there isn't enough 50s for them to put it in. the queues would be freaking insane. I am a 21 BH and my last WZ i was top damage with 49 kills and 7 deaths. People need to stop whining and learn to play your class.

This is only my veiw. I understand that many other people will disagree and thats cool.

I don't enjoy gear driven games as much. When you have PVP Gear, and this gear and that gear, I find that skill, and character disign have much less impact on gameplay.

As far as segmented PVP goes, I don't mind the way it is now. I don't feel bad when a level 50 takes me down when I am level 24, but it feels great when I take a level 50 down.

I don't take level 50s down very often.. heh,,

Level 50s are just starting to emerge. They can off set the ballance of the matches for sure.

Personaly I would give it 1 more month or two and see how things are working.

Perhaps by that time there will be more level 50s all round and matches might
be more ballanced. And if they are not, then at that point perhaps change is needed.
