pvp isn't completely ignored: new pvp warzones are on the way soon if you watch dev tracker...
I wish they gave this kind of love to operations again though.....
I would try a few along the way to level 50- And once at 50, you'll really want to take flashpoints seriously, as they provide good gear in conjunction with daily/weekly reward missions from the Fleet.
Columni, Tionese gear
I understand why they're rebooting/patching for launch at midnight-but it's still an issue since it's during primetime. As long as we have no more primetime downtime, I can forgive Bioware....please come back at 12 EST, servers!
