The fact I have 4 bars almost entirely full (around 40 something abilities) should be a big farking red light that we need macros.

Easy way to check this, just go to Reb fleet, then the Empire fleet. You can sit and spit out numbers of some random servers but when you see the differences in fleet for each side you'll notice a big difference. Check Sanctum of the Exalted reb, then Lord Adraas empire. I wonder if your choice of servers was "random" or just some way to push your own agenda.

I tend to agree with your statement. IT also will make the gear advantage less of an issue in more than one way as well. Facerolling the newbies wont mean they don't get credit and means they'll get gear to be on more even footing. The only geared people that would complain are the same that liked being 50 bashing on level 10s. The rest that enjoy competitive pvp would be all for it.

I see this argument a lot but am not sure I agree. There are a lot of melee attacks in pvp and if you want to ignore defense for whatever percentage that comes up to then it'll just make it that much easier for some shadow/sin/sent/marauder to pull you apart. Really wish we had combat logs for this sorta thing.

You really should consider it because right now new 50s are just as "overwhelmed" in the matches against folks with all this pvp gear as level 20s are bolstered against level 50s. Really need to consider scaling down the amount of expertise, normalize it or make it so you match make matches where you have low expertise versus similar not pre-made battlemasters versus noobs. PVP should not be so gear bound, right now it is almost all gear and very little skill. Make pvp where combat is about how the players play, not about how ridiculous the expertise bonus on the gear is. You'd do better to just remove expertise. I dunno how any Battlemaster geared player has a good time facerolling everyone else w/o similar gear.

Are you suggesting wow's pvp is "great" by any stretch of the imagination? Did you ever play DAoC? I guess not since you claimed you didn't know any better when you played wow.

Welcome to "world pvp". The skill is learning how to attack your enemy. IF you wanna zerg the zerg then good luck. There is more than one way to skin a cat.

I'd rather they leave than hang around moaning or afking. Until they let you queue for specific WZs and add some sort of match making so you don't get high expertise teams versus teams with 0 I suspect it'll stay the way it is.

Well said.

50 inq/sin light all the way. I found the light choices far more engaging and interesting on the Empire side than the REpublic side (I also have a 50 consular/shadow that is light 5). The light choices on the empire side are a little more difficult to get to in some cases (you will have to carry on longer conversations) and result in more interesting decisions IMO. On the Reb side it was pretty much just the first selection and they tended to be really obvious and dull. On the Empire side they are nothing like that. Good choice on the Empire side will be to poison some rebel slaves so they die immediately while the dark choice is to make them suffer for weeks. Not to say there are not truely "light" side choices. There are many times where you will "save" someone or not slay them. After doing all this I can say one thing... I now know why Empire always loses. Dark side is just Chaotic Stupid.

PVPers in WZs should gain social points. PVP is a very cooperative part of the game. Requires teamwork to do anything in Huttball. Allow pvpers to get social points from pvp.

Wookies Jawas (whatever they decide the race name is for the race Yoda was) As far as voice goes, they can just give the english speaking voice an "effect" that sorta emulates the language of the critters (sorta like hoe Khem has a "effect" on his voice).

I only went for treasure boxes to get the relics. Even still I almost always broke even on the mission cost. I would get 70% of the money back at the very least and if I got an item it almost always more than made up for the cost of the mission. Don't think you're suppose to make money from treasure hunting...although you can with some luck. OR you definitely can if you play the auction hall.

Please allow us to disable the red text in center of the screen (ability not ready, no target, target health to high/etc). I'm a button masher and this just spams up my screen and I can't even see my own health bar (or enemies) sometime because of this.

Yeah, interrupt and knockdown I think is it's purpose.

You get a doc to heal, she's dps and good at it.

Why do you care? If you insist on playing against almost insurmountable odds then you should look for teams that have people leaving. If the guy doesn't have the time or the desire to play in a match where he his pitted against an obviously high ranked pre-made team then let him bail and you make up for it if you're so awesome.

Wrong. If PVP rewards are on par with raiding gear there is no need for expertise.

There are a lot of things that this game does that doesn't fit "Star Wars" like not being able to switch sides from Jedi->Sith or Sith->Jedi for one. Get over it.

I don't get the seemingly pointless "orbital" stations either. All the load screens gets really annoying. Travel is to much of a hassle for me to bother with even trying to do heroics quests while leveling. Not to mention the lack of a usable LFG system. If I am way out working on a quest that took me 10-20 minutes to get to there is no way im gonna travel back to a shuttle or whatever till I am done. Now if the LFG system would shuttle me to the spot and back when done I'd be happy to work on heroics while leveling.

Most of what you listed are trivial to me. Frankly a game that released without the following features should be ashamed: Target of Target Macros (when at 50 you have almost 40 buttons filled) Flexible UI LFG System (like used for the PVP queues) Don't get me wrong, I enjoy the game and will continue to subscribe but seriously, the above items should have been in at release.

I dislike the expertise stat personally. There is no reason to have it regardless if you're pvp or pver.

You could still get gear from whatever means (pvp/pve) you want just drop expertise from them all. There is no need to delineate between raid or pvp gear if the quality is the same.

I pvp more because I can queue for it and keep doing what I have planned till then. It's kinda embarrassing the game launched w/o a LFG system for flashpoints similar to the pvp systems.

I've been playing these sorta games since they were called MUDs. I am not sure how much more "veteran" than that you can get. I am not "extremely dissatisfied".
