I saw more people and new people today than in a long while. That is good for pvp, especially on low pop servers. The more rewards the better for everyone. Why is everyone so afraid of having ultimate equality of gear and allow the mechanics to take over?
Also, it's only 99 WH tokens...nothing really.
No one plays to lose. Everyone is on a different level. And I am tired of the same players/teams over and over again. I wish Bioware would do more to get people playing, even cosmetic, pets, stims, whatever.
