If your not enjoying pvp, Its probably your fault

You just answered your own question, A good team could save you with that lol Did you ever take into account that everyone else on your team has CC of their own? As a tank specced powertech all I do is try to keep my healer alive because healing is what generally determines the winner of team battles.

"Even a good team can't save me"

Did you read what I wrote at all?

Yes thats right, In my opinion I think for now bioware has done a great job handling their pvp and launch and have given all the tools to make it happen, in, and outside the warzones. The most common hate "Warzones are horrible and repetitive, NO world pvp, Ilum is broke can all be blamed directly upon the player.

1. If you think the warzones are horrible, or imbalanced Its simply because you yourself are not a skilled enough player to contribute to your team, or your team is not skilled enough to play an objective based game properly. The bolster system makes the winner of these warzones come down to TEAMWORK and SKILL. The only advantage another team can have is if they are all 50 premade with expertise gear, but no one has complained about that yet, just pugs, and most pugs have a balanced amount of 50's on each team.

2. If you strongly believe there is no pvp on a pvp server, your wrong, and just " Not putting yourself out there" to do some [ will explain more at end of post]

3. Ilum can be done in a way to get the rewards without touching a player of the other faction, this is done because at the time most of the people on your server who are 50 have no desire to lead a strike against the republic, and are probably hardcore raiders. Once more pvpers become 50 leaders will come about and people will start to realize that " Hey, we dont want them getting their rewards AND its fun killing them".

On the topic of world pvp, at the moment there is no motivation to do it outside of Ilum except for pure fun, and enjoyment. If your truely interested in it, and not just rewards then you would put some effort in to get what you want. Find people of your faction that share that interest that are on the same planet as you, and form a warband to go kill everything you find, who knows maybe you'll encounter resistance and it will escalate. Or find A guild that organizes pvp events throughout the world

That was on Launch day, so when people say world pvp isnt possible....they're just wrong, and like many of them " not putting themselves out for it."

SWTOR gives players all the tools they need to have fun with the pvp, but what the people on your server make of it is up to them.

Whatever happened to the days when...
...CC or buff heavy classes did little or slow damage (the long lost support classes).
...Damage heavy classes had little to no cc and very little self healing if any at all.
...Healers could heal without being locked down by one player from 100% to 0%.

Where did this go?

the whole "skill" thing still doesn't explain why I lasted a pretty long time 1v1 against someone 34 levels above me, yet still died in the end while barely denting their health

I guess those top healers i always vote mvp in warzones I do are always constantly locked down from 100% to 0%, i totally forgot. As far as damage heavy classes go they have cc, every class has atleast 1 form of cc it wouldnt be fair if they didnt, but the self healing if any is very minor. Healers change the tide of battle, not self heals.

You completely just missed the point of what I said.
