So you buy a car, you assume it's a car, the sales guy tells you it's a car. However the second you drive it off the lot you find out it doesn't have breaks. Your solution to this problem is to get out of the car and go buy another car, from the same dealership?

I believe that there are many issues with this game that span the entire spectrum from management, vision, implementation, to mechanics. However the one aspect of this game that I continually find the most frustration with is what I would like to call: SW:ToR Welfare. I don't believe myself to be the best player ever to grace SW:ToR, however I do feel that I am one of the more competent and competitive PvP'ers on my server. That being said, my experience in this game boils down to the 4 random players that I am assigned to. In this game I am repeatedly asked to compensate for the lack of ability, skill and knowledge of 4 random players that I have no control over and no choice in regards to. This creates a situation where the game is not about my, or my selected teams personal abilities, nor our ability to form a competitive team. Rather my experience is determined by the random assignment of players, with no qualification what so ever, to my team. This is SW:ToR welfare. I am charged with the responsibility of compensating for the lack of capability of the random team members that are assigned to me. I have no choice in this matter. This is the main reason behind my diminishing interest in this game.

Because BioWare does not understand the difference between a single player game and a multiplayer game.

Yeah nerf Marauders!!! Right now!!! Oh wait...

This game is thriving. It has 1.7 million million subs. The point is STORY STORY STORY. Bioware = derp.

ie: Players that have quit and /uninstalled, but their subs have not run out. Oh, yeah, that is so much better. You can keep your head in the sand as long as you want. It won't change reality. In less then 5 months I have been a part of 2 guilds that have imploded. The first is a group of MMO gamers that I have been playing with for nine years, that guild went from having 50 players online during normal gaming hours to 4. FOUR. The second guild was a conglomerate of PvP'ers that came together after ALL OF THEIR GUILDS IMPLODED. In the last 6 weeks that guild has gone from having 80+ players online during our peak hours to... 6. SIX!!!!!!. Four months, two guilds, 92.3% decrease in active players. ALL IS WELL, THIS SHIP IS UNSINKABLE!!

How about "check box to join only Huttball"?

So much winning up in here.

He's probably over 9000 super guardian warrior in WoW as well.

6+ people on 1 Marauder = insta-gib. That's not what he said, he said that Marauders are required to fight in the middle of 6+ people and AoE's, which they are required to do the vast majority of the time. You want to take the melee's defensive CDs away? Ok, then give all ranged abilities a 6m minimum range. The issue isn't Marauders, or any other class for that matter. The issue is that the vast majority of this player-base is bad yet they think they're good. They're in there just mashing buttons and not thinking about what they're doing. Then when their blind leading the derp approach to PvP doesn't work out the first reaction they have is "it must be the game, time to QQ about it" instead of "maybe I don't know everything, what could I do differently". This is easily the most balanced MMO I have ever played in regards to PvP. The people QQ'ing about imbalance haven't a clue what imbalance truly is.

Because there is nothing wrong with them, just you.

Level 40+ in purple gear is equal footing? Laff. Heck, level 49 with purple mods and the expertise mods from pvp weapons is basically godmode.

Nerf the ability to spam the forums with stupid posts!

Nerf Marauders! Healing is broken! I die in 2 hits! Oh wait... what the... am I in the wrong forums? I thought this was the PvP section.

Exactly, that is my point. Well it's my point if you exclude snipers, tank assassins, deception assassins, concealment operatives, marauders, pyro powertecs, and madness sorcerers.

Huttball is the best warzone currently in the game. It is also a great barometer for overall skill and MMO IQ. Every good player I know loves huttball, every bad player I know hates huttball. Interesting. NC: 2nd place to Huttball, decent. Alderaan: crud. Voidstar: mindless crud.

I have a proposal: undying rage is fine. Nerf QQ.

After playing a Marauder since launch I find most of them laughably easy to deal with on my Powertech, Assassin and Marauder. It's only the 5-6 really good ones on the server that I have any issue with and they've all been playing since launch as well. I know everything they're going to do, what they want to do, how to deal with it, what they don't like... the fools that are re-rolling for the most part completely butcher and misplay the class which makes it even easier to destroy them. I would speculate that nearly 100% of the Marauder QQ is either: a) Crying from bad players, who cry about everything it's just Marauders time (sorcs are OP, PT is OP, op's are OP, healing is 100% broken, biochem is op, gear is op, gear is too hard to get, stealth is OP, lightning is OP but not telekinetic throw, sprint is OP, lightsabers are OP, resolve is broken, Huttball is a terrible WZ, fantasy unicorn goats are OP...) b) Crying from bad Sorcerers/Sages that think they should be able to sit there and facetank 3 melee at once.

That is not what expertise is for, not at all. Expertise is in the game for one reason and one reason only, to make PvE gear non-viable in PvP. Re-evaluate your understanding of expertise.

And after all of the rage and emo we're right back to 4 healers + 4 hybrid tanks being the optimal comp for everything other then Huttball. And that will still work just fine in Huttball if they can get the first cap. gg. qq some more healers.

My PT Pyro laughs at Marauders as they're snared 6m away getting blown up.

That's very nice.

The point was pretty clear, he made a 100% incorrect statement in his evaluation of the expertise mechanic. In fact he is perpetuating a very common and very stupid misunderstanding of the expertise mechanic. Thus, if he does not understand something as basic as that, how can any of his other conclusions about the game be accurate or hold any merit? Second, it isn't "jerk comments", it's reality. If you can't deal with it that is your problem.

I can't believe that you are touting yourself as an expert source of PvP information for this game when you don't understand the basic math behind the expertise mechanic. Your conclusion in bold above is completely incorrect and if you do not understand that which anyone with a basic 5th grade education in mathematics can, I don't see how any of your other conclusions regarding PvP can hold any merit. Your video does a great job of representing the game through the eyes of the average to mediocre, ill-informed SW:ToR PvP'er.

1. That video is nothing but nonstop QQ. 2. Powerrr derp isn't that good.
