This is fine I'll just wear my 72's, and blow people up who can't raid.

We were told during last event that next time it would be 55 only, I have no problem Killing imps in the open world, and you are correct I am pissed that I have solo qued 5 55's on rep side pot5 (try doing that without blood spurting out of your eyes facing constant premades) to full partisan/conq farmed millions of credits twice (RWH/Conq) to augment this gear, and for all this effort to not mean squat, now again in 2 months I have to do the whole thing over not likely

We were told this time the event would only be for 55's, no matter how you slice it PVE gear is going to trump PVP gear in a PVP event area.

Honestly, how long until Bolster is enabled everywhere. During the Relics of the Gree Event, Bolster is enabled in the Western Ice Shelf of Ilum for level 50-55 players. From tonight's patch notes

yes you have to have the valor rank to buy
