The brackets like they are now make sence for a new mmo. You basicly dont have alot of lvl 50 players yet and the system they use which is almost the same as in Warhammer to boost your stats really help lower lvl players. Cross-server BG that you are revering to like in WoW made BG in that game more boring then it ever was. You didnt build up any form of social contacts on your own server like you did during the proper BG's on your own server. The CC might be a bit to much yes only thats a balancing issue which can be changed by future patches. Every new game has balancement issues. Bit like WoW had a nice balance issue at the start of TBC where they made warriors completely useless for tanking. And still TBC is the best expansion they ever released. Untill now you can also use CC yourself on for example the DPS, or boost up the survivability on the target thats being killed. I know this wont happen much in random warzones only thats a problem by the players not the game mechanics. "but how can it be (in my opinion at least) worse than, say, a certain game that came out 7 years ago at it's own release? " Funny how you are revering to wow here. 7 years ago WoW had close to no pve content. WoW didnt have a single BG untill patch 1.5 The only way to get honor back then was through world pvp. And lets not forget how awesome balanced the classes were at the start of WoW. sarcasm intended.

You can also just do open world pvp for this reason i cant come up with name of it though. It was a word starting with a F. Oh wait , got it. Fun Yeah thats it, lets do open world pvp for the fun of it and not let it be some mindless zombie boring *** ******** grind like in WoW.

So after 1 week of playing you claim to know better then people that have tested it for years? Sounds more like a l2p issue on your side.

Level 50 and doesnt know how to pvp ? been powerleveling much ?

Funny , registered dec 2011 and all the sudden thinks he knows how bioware should make their game. Your post simply shows you have little to no knowledge on pvp in mmo's and also pvp in starting mmo's.

"Right, I've played most classes to a decent level and all that so I do grasp how to play and how each class functions" So you already have all classes on lvl 50 because thats the level where mmo's are balanced around. All i have to say is, get a life and take a break. If your understanding of "decent" level is less then 20 then go play a bit more before you start judging the pvp.

Where is your source of your claim that 80% of the players want it removed? Also this way of CTF is better then for example the WSG ctf which encouraged camping your own flag. If you are in a self proclaimed pvp guild you can handle a pvp system like this. If you cant then practice. Now , go troll somewhere else.

Making questgivers move would make the animation during a conversation pretty complicated. But i suppose that a vendor that you dont really interact with in the same way could use some more movement.

Swtor without a doubt. Elevators in swtor can kill you by just jumping when they go down, its kinda funny.

obvious l2p issue. I have no problems killing 1 player in a 1vs2, in some occasions i might even be able to kill both.
