The Expertise stat has to go...

what did you really expect from a game that is WoW in space but with less features?

Most of you are too busy drooling to read this, but the expertise stat is not the right scapegoat here.

TLDR: You need to play an old school fps.

Progression is progression. It doesn't matter if it's expertise, or gear, or consumables, or leveling, or whatever. People who play more will always have more stuff unless you remove all progression. Period.

If you don't like the PvP mechanics, go do something else. To say that you don't want PvP stats for PvP is just crazy.

Nothing is wrong with expertise.

It prevents hardcore PvE players from dominating with there purple gear. Take out exp and these guys get a leg up.

As for the whole argument of what about down the road when a fresh 50 comes to pvp and gets shreded.

Just copy WoW's craftable lower level pvp gear so the gap between the fresh players and the guys decked out in the top of the line purple pvp is not that great.

Res wrecked wow? Yea the the guys running around in full instance gear with the oranges smashing face that was real balance. Plus only a select few elite could get pvp gear? Give me a break I could cap out and did cap out and get enough pvp gear to hold my own in a week or 2.

No they don't.

PvP gear doesn't need a special PvP stat to be competitive. It hasn't worked for the past 7 years, why would it work in the year 2012?

OMG are you people even slightly paying attention when you read something?

REEEEEEEEEEEEAD BEFORE YOU REPLY.

REEEEEEEEEEEEAD BEFORE YOU REPLY.

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAD.

I'm shocked that you can act so shocked when it's in plain English.
NO one asked for a PVP stat on PVE gear, a PVE stat on PVE gear a was asked for.

Honestly guys? SERIOUSLY?
If you don't agree with the posts then fair enough BUT at least actually show HALF a brain and a ability to read.

As a note, I'm not raging I'm actually laughing at you. Wow, just wow.

Queue up the next person to now reply with some other point that requires the SAME damn thing repeating again because they didn't get it, but raged on the internet like they did anyway.

PVP stats statement PVP, add a PVE stat to end game PVE gear meaning that if you want to end game PVE you have to have end game PVE gear (news flash, this is nothing new it works perfectly in other games), make end game PVP sets have the same stats expect the PVE stat AND BAM, PVP sets can't be used in PVE, other gear is perfectly viable in PVP but not more powerful and new players will join PVP and PVP won't die as it always does.

Yes because of resilience, WoW's arena's and battlegrounds are empty cause it is a total failure.

This is an extremely simple and elegant fix that makes expertise do what it's supposed to do instead of serving as a double-dipping barrier to entry.

Hire this man, he clearly knows a lot more about PVP design than any of your laughable team of "pvp" developers.
