Bypassing recruitment
If you are Sith Warrior trying to recruit Major Pierce or Trooper trying to recruit M1-4x, they will join you right away without the PvP/Valor requirement.
Completed on my trooper. So, good there
Steps
Speak to Major Pierce/M1-4X on Dorumund Kaas/Coruscant. This is faction specific with Imperial players getting only Major Pierce and Republic players getting only M1-4X
If you have Valor rank 40, you can talk to them right away and recruit them on the spot. Otherwise you will need to do 20 Unranked Warzone Matches with wins counting as x2 to get enough influence to recruit them.
Valor level 100 on my Gunslinger (Main since launch) and still wants me to do 20 Unranked Warzones.
