This is exactly what I was trying to say. The game just isn't fun in recruit gear, and it's not that I can't deal with it and still be semi-effective, but more than I don't take enjoyment from beating up undergeared players, but in winning matches, so I am hyped that ranked is here, haven't lost yet.
However, I worry about the future of Star Wars because I had a rude awakening about how inaccessible pvp is in the game. For example, why have the War Hero gear cost ranked coms if you pretty much have to have it before you should even try to participate in ranked matches? Not like I need them anymore, 'cept to work on my off set now I guess.
