If top PVP gear = top PVE gear, there is no need for special PVP stat. Special stats just create segregation of player base, which is never good for the game. There is no reason why someone who enjoys both PVP and PVE can't wear a mix of PVP & PVE gear. Forcing people to focus on one aspect of the game is not good for anyone. And to all the PVP-only people in the thread against this idea, if you think you're hot sh*t, then you shouldn't need a special stat advantage to beat a "PVE noob". Besides, this isn't WoW, if anything PVP gear is superior to PVE gear atm. PVP is so much more enjoyable pre-50 because it's more about skill then gear.

Always the same idea from same kind of players from wow to swtor. If you don't want pvp gear don't do it, it is so simple. Go raid or something, i want reward for my time in pvp. And i am not guy who stay all day long in station and wait for bg, i do quests, exploring and crafitng. Some of you guys want no story, no pvp gear, no grind, no quests, no huge planets, no ships, instant teleports and exct. Maybe is mmo wrong genre for you people and you should try with fps games

No way. I want to make people with lives outside the game feel weaker than me and their reflexes/tactics should not be a factor then when they quit and the game stagnates I
can move onto the next MMO and do further damage to my long distance vision in return for repeating this experience.

Srsly

These issues are what makes games like this another stop gap before the next big thing.

Same gears. Same builds. Same stats. Top guilds will always steamroll newer inexperienced players.

O yea sure. You would like noobs from pve to dominate pvp. Raid guys with best pve gear to pawn everyone. Well, king of mmo wow did that and swtor stay with that because it is best way to do it. There is no other way and it is the only fair way to everyone, pve gear is simply not fair because big guilds with regular raiding times would destroy pvp.So continue dreaming

Lol, this person seems to think that when all that is left is him and a few hundred of his fellow hard core pvp peeps... that Bioware is going to conitinue to spend money on the pvp side of the game. In fact if the % of pvpers goes down and the % of pve'ers go up then where do you think bioware is going to spend all their time and money on???


Ask yourself this in 6 months when pvp is still a freaking mess and pve side has 3 brand new raids.

If PvP and PvE gear is absolutely the same, I will still steamroll players just the same way as with expertise. I am already unkillable 2v1. If it so means that I earn gear quicker through raiding and hardmodes/whatever, I will simply form a top-notch group of elite players and mass-farm raids/HM's for the best and easiest obtainable gear, and continue to steamroll in warzones.

People will still outgear other people, and the competition is by no means any "fairer" unless you remove gear from the game completely, which sure as hell will infuriate the community.
