So now they are removing companions, I wonder how long before you have to queue for ilum pvp.

Yeah all these people that are saying "get to 50 and it's different"... wait till they get to 50 lol. Yeah it's different all right.

After seeing the systems they released for instanced pvp, and the system they released for world pvp. How could you possibly think that any company that would launch with these systems could ever "fix" pvp? I thought Trion was bad with what they launched with, but then Bioware comes along and trumps all that, with this.

What needs to happen is Single Target Damage stat, and AOE damage stat, as well as "other's healed" and "self healed"

Gabe Amatangelo is the guy who is to blame.

The guy responsible for all of the end game PVE is also the guy responsible for the entire pvp. Gabe Amatangelo, one of the devs from Warhammer, the guy who is responsible for the operations is also responsible for all the planning for Ilum and Warzones.

Gabe Amatangelo is the guy responsible for pvp.

Why must I continuously uncheck this box? Why is the UI incapable of remembering such a basic check box? Does Bioware not have a QA section?

You know what Trion pulled this same thing too. "We'll fix everything... later"

Yeah either you're going to win, or you're going to lose, and close matches will be rare as the population becomes more diverse. You will basically win depending on who has the most low levels.

Right but people are still stuck in the wow mindset of "level 10-49 doesn't matter" actually yeah it does matter quite a bit.

I keep seeing people say that: "10-49 don't matter all that matters is level 50" and "just wait till later you're a late bloomer it gets better at higher levels" But do people really understand that level 10s will be fighting level 50s. That at max level and gear you can still be fighting fresh level 10s depending on your server population and the time of day you are pvping. Especially when level 50 premades (4man) are grinding out gear tokens... What do people think is going to happen when it's a 1 group of level 50s and pugs vs a pug of level 10s to whatever?

Bioware has given no indication that the bolstering system is temporary.

actually when those 10-49 are going to be competeing against level 50... it might.

Oh so healers are supposed to just... suck it up for 20 levels? That seems good to you?

the 30% debuff is too much, still. When DPS > HPS dps can mindlessly spam attacks to win. This is not fair, balanced, or meaningful pvp. Since bioware in it's infinite pvp ignorance decided to have a bolster system for pvp this is a problem from level 10 to 50. If hps = dps, then the difference in a 1v1 situation is utility. In swtor, the difference is just more dps. In a 2v2 dps/dps vs. dps/healer situation the dps can focus down 1 person and ignore the other. In a 2v2 dps/dps then they need to use various utility to fight each other. Mindless dps, is bad for pvp. Fix this Bioware.

Because they refused to launch with full premade vs premade and think this is a viable alternative for people.

It's as if I have seen this entire line of discussion in Rift. and then said this through out beta, and every chance I got. It's as if the developers knew this was going to happen, and just don't care.

0 contribution should = 0 result.

Why must I have the companion window open in order to manually use some of the abilities? That doesn't even make sense. Hot keys should be hot keys not dependant on the state of the window. This UI fails in so many ways.

What ever happened to "rewarded for doing things"? I joined a warzone just before it ended. I got there with like 30seconds left, barely did anything other than run out into the middle of the field. Warzone ended, I got full xp. How is this a good idea? How does this discourage people from just afk botting to max level? Bioware please take your pvp seriously.
