I just hit 50 a few days ago. I am very close to ending my subscription. I had a blast reaching 50, whether it be PvP or my class story. My class story has ended, I don't find flashpoints all that enjoyable and don't have the time to do operations on a set schedule (Guild raids).
I have played about 12 hours since hitting 50. I have won a single Warzone. One. Out of three for the daily or nine of the weekly, in the last three days. I have tried doing the Illum dailies but during my playtime I rarely see more than a few imperials, and of those few none are equally geared to me. I have two centurion pieces (did the 1000/1000 comms before hitting 50 and bought a bag). I haven't gotten a champ bag since then as I average 3-4 medals a warzone. I used to get 9+ before hitting 50 as a Shadow Tank. Most of my losses are due to a warzone shutdown sequence, a 5v8 match-up in the beginning, or being rolled by a premade/people with full centurion/champion+ gear.
Some will say it's a L2P issue, or I haven't devoted enough time yet. My rebuttal is why would I want to? Do you guys that have been 50 since early access farming gear think its fun to face a 18k hp marauder with 13.5k hp as a tank spec'd class? Do you think it is enjoyable to join a warzone, see three people leave, and get pulverized? Gaining one-two medals while being farmed for a measly 30 comms? Let alone trying to get the wins for the daily.
Further, I wish it was a L2P issue. I have over 30 keybinds for my Shadow. I even bought a Naga mouse for this game per recommendation from a fellow shadow guildie. I was very successful leveling up in the 10-49 bracket, albeit most people were not very good. The skill level doesn't seem to have changed at all. People still back-peddle, keyboard turn, and click. I now get rolled by them as they sport a few thousand more health, do a lot more damage, and take a lot less damage than myself. Before it was an easy win against anyone that clicked, or used keyboard turning (easy to tell who clicks and who uses keybinds in PvP).
This game is a complete drag once hitting 50 at its current stage. It just isn't fun, and when a hobby (video game) becomes the anti-thesis of its sole purpose, its time to look at different avenues. So I can see why people quit when the game is going sour, it's a complete waste of time if you are not going to win and be farmed. 35 Comms for a 15 min game? Woopdyyy-dooo. Twenty games later I can buy ONE champion bag, or 1/3 a piece of Centurion gear or 1/5th a piece of Champion gear.
