)I cant believe the bs from softcore pvpers on this post: http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=609933 Whoever keeps saying that pvpers depend on superior gear to feel powerful and smash freshies just doesn't get it... Pvers start out weak doing loads of hm fps, dailies, and pug sm ops so the can improve gear and skill so they can eventually be invited to harder ops with people who have done the same thing. The high end pver rarely has to pug. All this character building unlocks a more sophisticated game experience. Pvpers do the same thing. They gear to be a good competitor. They pvp constantly and thru the grind they become better at what they enjoy. Eventually they are able to defeat harder opponents and do ranked with some of the best.

I just want to suggest ( and this may have already have been suggested) that SWTOR adds the ablitiy to flag yourself for pvp in open worlds so that you can have tourneys with guildmates without haveing to leave the guild.
