  1. In a well designed game, skill should trump gear. In this game, you literally CAN NOT win against a better geared player if they have even half of a brain. I can outplay the **** out of someone, blow all my CD's and still lose to their gear.

    It's not an issue when it takes two days to get competitively geared...

  2. Like he said, frustrating doesn't capture the feeling. It is depressing, I don't feel like I even want to spend the time trying to painfully grind out better gear just so I can start having fun.

     

    Fortunately it will be over in 2 days, and you will be happy at how much more powerful your character feels

  3. I doubt the guy has ever played a sport and his idea of exercise is walking to the fridge to get his next red bull.

     

    Sick ad hominem bro, really strengthened your point

    People getting rewarded for losing is a very negative societal trend, it devalues winning and makes people who lose think that losing is a positive experience.

    Think, Communism

  4. To actually say that gear progression is why people sub is false, progression comes in many ways in a mmo.

     

    Hardcore PvP'ers are a very very very small subset of the MMO crowd, and they're all in full PvP gear so they don't make a lick of difference in the first place

    Consistent character progression is the one of the fundamental reasons why RPG's exist and we aren't all playing league of legends right now

    The skinner box is a reality, it's why the casino and video game industries both make billions of dollars a year

  5. Only to the simple-minded. I lead in most categories each game but my team loses. My teamwork is great. I do my job. Six hours for a single win on my server is hard enough, but three wins on most days is impossible. I welcome you to bring your superior arse to my server and to continue talking ****.

     

    It's a team game.

    Colt mccoy could be the best player in the world, but he's still not going to win, because he's on an awful team.

    I suggest you get a better team, or help other players get better, instead of complaining that you deserve a trophy even though you lost.

  6. I don't think it can be considered a gift horse when they basically say "We know this sucks, but here, you don't have to do it anymore". :D

     

    If you're using it completely instead of killing enemies, then you're doing it wrong

    don't use it as "go collect 30 boxes", use it as "I killed 25 reps in a big fight and now the fight has died down, I'm gonna go use the boxes to finish off the quest"

  7. Why does gear matter at all?

     

    Because without gear progression people won't resub

    Character progression is a central pillar of subscription based MMO's

  8. It is funny you mention Rakata. As I played against people geared in Rakata, and there is a drastic difference between fighting someone in Rakata vs BM

     

    I think he meant PvE

    A fresh level 50er will do very poorly compared to someone in rakata

    It's just the nature of gear progression in an MMO

    Luckily,they made the upswing to full expertise gear the shortest I've ever seen in an MMO
