What does the 1-49 bracket teach us about PVP gear?

Totally agree.
There should also be an option to enable/disable xp gains from pvp so that people could stay at the 10-49 league as long as they wish

Horrible idea...

Why, so we can have a bunch of level 49 twinks destroying the level 10s and 20s? You are complaining about entering the 50 bracket because of the gear gap, yet you want to create one in the 10-49 bracket? Hello, am I the only one who feels this way?

This thread is useless, no constructive talk, just people fighting with keyboards and absolutely no solution or possible fix.
As I see it, the main problem is with this new age MMO community that ask for a change/fix but never think of a solution to provide.

It is very simple in this case:
- do PvP when you level so you can get some gear at 50; I am level 30 and already have one box in the cargo and I am 700/700 commendations and the level 46 gun (which will be changed, but just in case and Valor rank 28)
- if you did not PvP before 50 do not be a scrub and go in level 40 - 45 green because you will get owned
- if you do not have gear help your team in other ways, I heard healink, taunting, guarding is good. If you are an ubber dps class and cannot spec into the above mentioned chances are that you have a stealth mode. Use it to your advantage and drop low HP players and pick battles that you have a fair chance to win, not that 20k Battlemaster tank.
- if you do not have gear and you suffer form acute dps disorder, then stick to a healer and protect him, do not worry if you get owned because you helped your team a lot by allowing the healer to throw a couple of extra heals to heavy geared players.

Really some of the players should learn how to play in a team, even if you are not in a premade. Most of these so called "WoW gladiators" refuse to be part of the team because random warzone/Ilum groups are full of re***rds, as they claim, but maybe if they started playing as a team and not as a Quake Arena frag master, then the games would be more fan and people would not complain as much, because they would be busy playing the game and hafing FUN.

TL;DR: The solution is simple, low gear players help the team out, do not think you're Rambo or Yoda even if you have a BFG or a flashy lightsaber.

Let me Paraphrase the OP here:

I enjoy twinking a level 49 and facerolling level 10s in the 10-49 rather then get to 50 and have it done to me in the same manner.

I am too lazy to work for the gear that was provided at 50 which is NOT that hard to get to be honest. If I would of Played warhammer online I would of thought that to be a ton harder then this game to get gear.

SO I will tell everybody on this forum that 10-49 is better...

end of paraphrase....

LOL are you kidding... you are doing exactly what you hate you at 50... by twinking a 49 out in gear with crafted items and orange gear and facing off on level 10's is just the same as what happens to fresh 50s in the 50 bracket.

whats the difference?

anyway, people like this make me laugh. Same type of person decked out in BM is the same as a twinked 49...

DAOC realm point system was were it was at. All this grinding for gear is straight lame. Anyone who came from DAoc or game like shadow bane will tell you what real PVP is.

People are leaving the 50's bracket and re-rolling characters so that they can continue to PVP in the 1-49 Brackets.

Lets really think about what that means.

It means that people would rather do the PVE grind AGAIN then put up with being the equivalent of being grey mobs in WZs who's purpose seems to be to entertain no one but the people who are lucky enough to have more free time or unlucky enough to simply have no life who get to kill you over and over again.

It means that PVP is MORE exciting when your adrenaline is pumping because you are in a pitched battle with someone who does the same damage and takes the same damage you do and it really comes down to quick thinking, reflexes and strategy that you EARNED through practice rather then because you have a statistical advantage over your opponent. Where the timing of every shot counts. And obviously that is going to be more exciting then losing simply because your opponent hits far harder and takes far less damage.

Gear based "PVP" is not a test of a player vs a player unless people really think that because someone was able to do more repetitive tasks over and over again because they don't have kids, or a job or a life (Or simply are willing to sacrifice those things they should be spending more time on) is somehow something that people can be tested for and be lauded as if they "accomplished" something.

The grind olympics? Is that something you want to be remembered for? You were better at wasting more time in your life then someone else so you "win"?

If we are going to have brackets, I think we should have a bracket where Expertise is shut off. ESPECIALLY if you are thinking E-sport. And ESPECIALLY if you are going to have a PVP rating system.

I have a feeling that bracket would be far more populated.

EDIT TO CLEAR UP A MISCONCEPTION: I do not feel that gear should no longer be acquirable through PVP. I feel that gear should be attainable through PVP, and be on par with gear in PVE. And that the advantage gear affords be curbed in PVP across the board. I am not asking for PVE to cause someone to win PVP. Resilience was the wrong answer. Expertise is no better.
