Since you don't earn valor based off of your group, melee classes get far less valor than ranged classes. I would say easily 90 percent less than ranged classes because, as melee you simply just don't get valor for the kills of your group. What this means is when republic and empire have huge numbers facing off and all the ranged people are getting kills you are left with nothing. If you do rush in to get a kill and maybe earn a little bit of valor, you are instantly killed. How is it fair that you are rewarded so much worse just for picking melee?
