1-49 Warzones are AMAZING now

had a civil war today that was tight the whole way through. ended with less a 100 point spread.
I think its plain to see that the pvp gear and expertise do not add fun.

Que times for sub 50 bracket went to hell, aswell as for the 50 bracket. At least on my server.

The problem with this (happened in WoW in early BC) is that you end up with more people AFK farming. AFK farming is incidentally already a problem on some servers, even without the PvE-worthy-gear incentive.


Don't get me wrong - I loved it when I could get PvE gear from PvP and vice-versa. Having people who didn't really want to be there wasn't so fun though. They AFK'ed or didn't try, and when called out they'd say "I'm only here for my PvE gear. Deal with it."



It also brings the term "welfare epics" to the game. One route will always be easier than the other, and let's face it.... afking in warzones is going to be the path of least resistance.

Agree! Much more fun to pvp with my 17 lowbie now than my 50 mains.

Supporting this thread.

Altho the poorly done launch, with way too low server cap and too much server will come back and kick bioware in the teeth

Earlier during a bad game I've had 100-120k damage. Now easily 200k doing almost nothing. To bad it'll end soon, only 60% exp left to 50. And it will no fun at all in 50 WZ until I get pvp gear.

yeah i had fun in pvp for the first time since the launch week yesterday; i intentionally held my main character back a few weeks ago in hope they would do something like this and/or balance expertise/pvp in general.


thankfully its paid off.

Too bad they increased prices for pre lvl 50 pvp gear by 75% and failed to mention that in the patch notes.

big difference. Wz's are tons more fun now and im almost scared to even lvl. It just goes to show how expertise really effects pvp.

yea, gonna have fun geting new slinger weapons now. I dont see any reason to raise it to begin with. It almost makes me feel like i should ahve super grinded and got all the crap earlier.
