I don’t agree with your comment regarding low level teens and 20’s maxing out their characters, I mean why not? I find it perfectly acceptable to get the best gear you can for your character. I know I try my best to get the best gear I can for my level, why should I gimp myself just because some guy on the other team turns up to a fight missing gear and what gear he has is all greens?
I play a Merc and the fact I got steam rolled every warzone at the start made me look at what I could do to improve my game and that’s just 3 things - start again as a FOTM class (not happening), learn my role and get better gear.
I didn’t go **** this pvp sucks! I aspired to get better and that’s the way it should be.
If you want everyone to have the same health and do the same damage then you should have naked warzones where everyone fights bare knuckled in their undies!
