Time to merge the US servers... again. Primetime window getting smaller and smaller.

What are you talking about?

I’d give up. He’s just here to argue with everyone and offer no substance to the conversations. (Even Luna and I had more constructive points when we were arguing), If you say white he’ll say black or gray.
He use to do this a lot when he was last subscribed, he’s trying to troll but just isn’t very good.

So instead of revamping, or reversing gearing, how about you come up with a way to make PvP more relevant?

Let's look at my "just trying to argue":

You: I have proof that huttball isn't working as intended. Doesn't provide proof.
Other poster: Well, let's see the proof, because it's supposed to work this way.
You: You're just arguing to argue, get out of my thread.
Me: If you have the proof, provide it, it eliminates the chance of any confusion, if a casual reader can look at it and see what's going on.
You: Crickets.

Should've already been 1 server to begin with.

Back on topic.. and as an aside.... the OP dropped this bomb into the forum more then 2 weeks ago .. and quickly abandoned the thread. And I know he is an avid PvPer ... so I'm thinking he had a bad queue day, was frustrated, and felt the need to create the thread in the moment of frustration. Everyone else has simply picked it up and run with it as their current favorite forum chew-toy as well as issue numerous negative segways along the way.

Your inability to provide proof, something that can be witnessed in this thread as well, where you "don't want to start an argument by providing numbers during peak hours", and then attempting to blame anyone that asks about it of "trolling you", or misstating your opinion or goal of the post.

I provided, despite not wanting to really waste my time with it, because it was ignored the last time I provided it, a system that would have made PvP have some kind of relevance, and I provided it in this very thread. But, it doesn't treat PvPers like special snowflakes, so it's not "offering any substance" to the thread. This is the typical PvPer type response though, "If you're not agreeing with everything I say, you're trolling for the sake of trolling". I've seen it across multiple games, across multiple genres, so it comes as no surprise.

So instead of revamping, or reversing gearing, how about you come up with a way to make PvP more relevant? Getting participation trophies isn't going to do it. If it was, the PvP community wouldn't be having these issues, would they? Gating companions behind it didn't work, or we wouldn't have these issues, would we? Nerfing the classes into the ground didn't work, or we wouldn't have these issues. So, instead of "we want to be snowflakes", how about you come up with something that makes PvP mean something in swtor. I've laid out my thoughts on it, and surprise surprise, it would have even made Conquest relevant too. So far, your ideas equate to "give us more free stuff, surely there's a threshold where more people will play, we just have to keep giving 'em out until we find it".

Sword in a box.

Well, it would've certainly pulled the bandage off the wound faster, so to speak, and eliminate any more worries about mergers. But, it was explained to us by Eric, that it was not possible because it would cause excessive lag, the possibility of more server downtime and queues when signing in to play.

Personally, I'm fine with two east coast servers, because I wasn't thrilled to have a merger in the first place and be subjected to an overcrowded environment and one that is hostile toward pve/story/rp players. I'm very thankful that Shadowlands was merged with the RP servers, because that style of play and it's players are less obtrusive to my own play style. The only thing that sucks, is the specter of yet another merge, which again, I don't want for any reason.

The other thing I disagreed with was eliminating West coast altogether. That was a bad idea.
