I'll just quote and answer myself, these would be the so called "welfare epic" grubbers.

Step in the right direction. Now I'm not so concerned about nearing 50 on my alt and will I have to choose: reroll again to have fun, or to suffer unfair competition for no-one-knows-how-long.

This depends on the new drop rate for tokens.

I don't understand this, given that the vast, vast majority of BM (and Champ) geared players got their gear by farming lowbies in WZs and if Empire, farming Ilum with zergs since 1.1. How is that earning anything?

Further, the concept of "earning" anything by grind - and not skill - is laughable to me.

Actually, most people at this point, even those that aren't quite BM geared yet, have played against players that were, for the most part, on equal ground speaking from a gear perspective.

It's only now with the late comers, the re-rolls, and the extreme casuals finally hitting the PvP floor that you see all of this whining about being undergeared.

I haven't been farming undergeared players, I earned my gear fighting against people that are already BM and valor ranks ahead of me, so don't try to downplay my accomplishments simply because you made it to the party late.

It doesn't get any more welfare than farming non pvp gear equiped lowbies for weeks Princess. Gratz on your "accomplishment" though. I must ask though, in your simple litte mind did you really think anyone here would be offended by some irrelevant nobody forum jockey calling this improvement "wefare"? I'd like to think no one can be that stupid but you seem to be providing a serious test to my theory.
The gamer in me hates that my boss, Bob I., sold EA the rights to make Star Wars games. The investor in me can retire early though due to Bob's decisions.

I have PvP'd since my toon was level 10 and am not BM yet, nor do I have full champion gear yet. I didn't enjoy being farmed when I was level 20-35 in WZs until they finally bracketed out the 50s who had zero real life other than SW:TOR. I actually stopped PvPing until they bracketed as it was just making the zergbabies fatter. That was only a few weeks ago, so really, unless people were very very lucky with bag drops in the last few weeks since 1.1, yes they got much of their gear before bracketed WZs.

You still didn't "earn" anything Princess. The cold hard facts are you got good rng results. Only a complete simpleton would try to argue that. Come on, try to argue that some one who has logged more hours of pvp than you but has less gear due to bad rng results hasn't earned it like you have.
