Sorcerers, seriously what the hell?

Class population saturation occurs in one of these instances:

1. The class is OP.

2. The class is perceived to be OP.

3. The class is fun/cool.


If the class is actually OP, it will be nerfed. Since Sorcerer/Sage QQ has been going on since launch and the only changes so far to the class have been a small buff, the rational person will see that #1 is false..

If there are a lot of people who simply refuse to L2P, and believe the best way to get better at PvP is to get every other class nerfed, the forums will be filled with QQ about how OP a class is. This will cause the FOTM crowd to immediately start rolling the "OP" class because they want to be facerollers. Once the faceroller hits max level and learns the reality, they will either reroll or they will keep playing the class they have become familiar with. Based on the huge volume of nerf requests, paired with the mostly hyperbolic "my warzone was all sorcerers!" threads, it is pretty easy to see that the forum gives the impression that sorcerers are OP, however, as referenced above Bioware has not nerfed the class because they have actual metrics by which they determine OP, UP, and Balanced specs.

If the class has a cool story, is fun to play, or just looks like a BAM-FWIC it will attract a lot of players. The Sorcerer has all three.

In summary, your argument that population proves power level is logically flawed and will be ignored by rational readers.

I'm not implying anything. I am stating the fact that the developers have the tools to analyze metrics.

What they do with the results can be debated, but in the end, it is their game and no class is OP or UP if they say it isn't because they are the ones making the rules and giving the grades.

I'm right because in the absence of an official Bioware response, there is nothing else to prove me wrong.

Ha, Everyone complains about sorc. If you went against a team of 5 bh's trust me you would be crying here even more.

Why so many people in online games prefer to faceroll their face off than achieve something with a little bit of skill? Almost every WZ i enter there are like 6-8 inquisitors in one team. I cant even see map cuz everything is purple, so many stupid lightnings. I never get that, why ppl roll classes that are easy and for newbs, just like ret palas in wotlk, just like frost mages now. Please BW nerf sorcerers. Sick damage, like 3 imbollizes, stun, bubble, bubble-blind, healz, sprint, constant channeled slow, knockbacks. I mean it, what the...? I just was in WZ where total number of players were 16, and there were 13 inquisitors... PvP in SWTOR isn't cool anyway, but sorcerers make it even worse. Please do something about it because this is riddicolous. See ya peeps and may the force be with You.

Here's my 2 cents about inquisitors that people dont seems to realize. Inquisitors, like bounty hunters are the only classes on the Imp side that, depending on their AC, can tank, heal and DPS. So of course it stands to reason that there's going to be more of them since they can fill every roll. My jugg for example, can only tank and dps, my sniper can only dps, so there are going to be fewer of us than inquisitors since we can only do 1 or 2 things.
