I think that it would be great if this server could just agree not to bolster buff with 54 gear in rateds. Currently both MVP and Strictly are not using any 54 pve gear in rateds. A 200 tech / force power bonus is huge and can be game changing in rateds. What is the point of using this gear rather than having a fair fight where both teams use pvp gear? It is disappointing to see guilds I used to respect using this gear just to gain the advantage in rateds. So how about we all just agree, as a server, not to exploit the bolster system in ranked. It's not that hard to do. If you are a guild leader and your guild ques rateds, simply post on this thread stating your guild name and whether or not you will be using the bolstered pve gear for rateds. With any luck we can get all of the main guilds to stop this.
