And the gear isn't as difficult as most people are making it out to be. Stack Champion bags and WZ/Merc Comms before you hit 50. Roll 15 bags the same day you hit 50 and notice you'll get a couple of pieces. Is it GUARANTEED? No, the only things that are is death and taxes. But if you are a dedicated PVP'er you SHOULD have most of your Champ set in 2 weeks. 3 weeks tops (given the 10% statistic - and including diminishing returns)
Define dedicated PvP'er.

What the OP should be complaining about is his minimum wage.


So -2. -1 for the OP and -1 for you finding brilliance.
This is actually really true and should be repeated / noted.

It's all about perspective. A lot of people are assuming they should be getting their Champion pieces in the bags. For all we know the intention was only 3 centurion commendations a bag and they added the champion 10% as a bonus. The solution due to all the complaining could be to just do away with the champion chances and only have the 3 commendations. Or say to make it even they up it to 4. So now you have 0 chance of getting champion and 4 commendations for centurion. Champions and battlemasters are reserved for higher ranks.

That could be the reality, we don't know.

If that were they case, then there would have been a rating requirement for the Champion gear.

It also, wouldn't be so bad if that wasn't the ONLY way to buy the champ gear until rank 60... which requires a retarded amount of time to get (outside of Ilum trading).

I could even understand it if the stuff was like WoW and had rating requirements based off of SKILL. As it is now, it's a joke of a system that was very humorously depicted by the OP.

Ppl are complaining because there is a chance factor. If everyone would have the same amount of gear after same amount of dedication there will be no problem. Whether it would be fast or slow we would find a place for ourselves in that system.

Game designers should understand <chance factor> might [amaze] some players but "alienate" others.

Not everyone enjoys GAMBLING!!!

Totally agree. Need i mention the difficulty in getting into a daily or weekly group for a non-geared player at lvl50? Ridiculous. It really deserves the name end game content because there is virtually no access.
