You're absolutely right OP, cause when I enter the game in progress and the other team is on a landslide victory, the first thought in my head is "I'm gonna turn this around! me myself and I!". No people will just chain leave until one person who enters and is like "welp fast free points for me and run around and do nothing or close to nothing until the match is over. So in the scenario you put that the "leaver" is going ot ether afk or semi afk, I have no problems with, it doesn't make 3-6 more people walk into a losing game. It comes down to the deserters selfish wants, so a 15minute debuff is fine, cause if they are going to waste at least 1 other person's time they might as well be rewarded with the same thing.

Port Nowhere - East Coast I'd say 60% Imp, 40% Pubes. If you roll here roll a Pubie please.

Your arguement might be valid if everyone was "on your level". Everyone has a different learning curve and you leaving or afking ot ruin their enjoyment of the game can drastically change that. Just because it's not challenging to you, you opt yourself to ruin it for 7 possibly 15 other players. If gearing is not the issue then I would imagine you should stay in the game to keep the semblance of a full game so that the "unchallenging" players have their go and learn the game. I imagine what you do, wether afk or leave the game has the opposite effect. Go ahead and be a D-bag, but don't try to justify it.

It's BW's answer to people complaining about RNG. I was already geared but this method is definitely better. Gives your a bit more control of your gearing(by grinding if you want an edge). The unassembled pieces are bonus, even if its a 1% chance it's still good. Wish BW implemented the bag system since Day 1, that way we wouldn't have had so many people gearing up so fast and whining about why they aren't fully geared by their 2nd week as a 50.

Sorcs can actually get all 3. Their bubble counts as protection. /addsmorehate I play BH and I usually trump sorcs, sorcs who gets more than me I know they deserved it considering the amount of effort it takes to get all three. People can sit there and say whatever they like most sorcs don't go out of their way to get those medals, some certainly do. However most that I have seen getting those medals well deserved it by actually completing the objectives as well. The sorry examples people placed here by a few trying to make it the norm. I used the water when it was around and definitely not surprised when they nerfed it. Intended use of the item was for a quest not WZ healing. Playing a DPS class punishes you by not giving you the most medals? doubt it, most pure DPS class players love derping, you guys get your high from the big numbers, if you give no extra incentives for tanking or healing class such as the medals, why would anyone play them. This is equivelant of DPS crying about Tanks and Healers from that "other" game getting in dungeon que's faster than them, and the "other" comapny should do something about it to make it fair. How about you just roll a tank or healer and "enjoy" the extra medals like the rest of us do.

I spacebar through the storylines, so it doesn't matter which faction I am in. I only went sith cause most of my friends who never picked up said that would be the faction they want.

Yeah they actually don't, they only made this game so they could play it themselves for self entertainment. They needed the masses to mindlessly pay them until the beat it.

Awesome, I've gotten 13/24.

The team that stomped you probably found it very fun.

thanks for getting rid of one more issue for us!

Well no one is thanking them, but even then. What's your solution? just keep kicking dirt in their face no matter what, regardless of if they fix things or get stuff done?

Though I feel for you, stating what Valor Rank you are has no bearing on how fast you should get your gear. I can get V68 in two weeks too if all I did were my dailies then went and farm Illium during hot hours.

Really not that bad, considering if he could win matches and got his dailies/weeklies. Thats 20 bags a week from quest alone. So 6 weeks if he got nothing but comms and not buying any bags on the side. 6 weeks is actually a relatively short time to get geared compared to other MMOs. And this is only considering the WORST case scenario. So someone, somewhere out there MIGT have to wait 6 weeks for full PvP gear, though I doubt it, and with the state of Illium on some servers you'll get BM before you get all your champ gear anyways.

cause with to everything you get at least +50 commedations. The lowest guy probably has crappy gear and get like +5 commedations from medals. Do those 3-5 MVP votes really matter that much to your ego? Why not give them a few more commedations.

If you play a full game, (15mins) you should get rougly 40coms for losing, and at least 4 medals so 60 coms. You need 800 coms per champion bag, and assuming you can't do ANY of the dailies/weeklies. Champion Gear Pricing goes like this: Armguards - 44 Belt - 44 Boots - 67 Ear - 67 Gloves - 67 Headgear - 67 2x Implant - 36 Jacket - 67 Secondary Weapon - 41 Pants - 67 Primary Weapon - 123 2x Relics - 24 Total 774 so you need 111 bags to get it all. 111x800 = 88800WZ coms 88800/60 = 1480 Losses 1480 x 15mins(time in a full match) = 22200 mins or 370 hours or 15 days 10 hours of WZning. That is assuming you get instant que pops and get no champion pieces or only gotten the piece right after you purchased the gear. Though I didn't caculate it, by this itme you could also fully outfit 4 of your comapniion in full centurion gear.

double possssssssssssssssst

Considering everyone is able to have those on their teams I'm not sure how this is a balance issue. Don't bring in rated WZs, if you are catering your team to one map out of three, and potentially more in the future I cna see your team not going very far.

If they added a faction change (free or charged) I'd swap for you bro...

working as intended.

The PvE bosses do talk smack actually...

Gear actually still matters in lower level WZ, most people just have relatively the same because no one is hard-on about gearing perfectly for each level up. If you pay attention, you will see that wearing the same gear into a WZ after a level up you have less stats. Some people will go out of their way to gear their alts at certain levels (minus level 20 and 40) by crafting epics for them to wear. Waste of creds, but in the end what do you really need credits for at level 50? Repair Bills?

It's not easier, it's less frustrating. I already got all my gear, but if this was implemented first I think it would've caused a lot less heartache. But now I know when I get my next char to 50 I can get gear linearly and not cross my figners and hope for luck.

Is this your farewell message. Where I work people do this via e-mail and it really is their final e-mail. Or are you just gonna come back here like 90% of these "I'm leaving" post and continuously talk for a week?

agreed, they should make it drop "Champion Tokens" that could be traded in for any champion gear item.

Oh I see, Well just something I don't see much on my server, we have a even amount of Pubs vs Imps. Imps slightly outnumber Pubs but pubs are more organised, there is alreayd quire a bit of base runs to recap so we get more valor during clashes. But I like the idea, though that would just add more idlers really. As someone somewhere will eventually do the work as they afk in base. Perhaps active base defense/offense is a better way?
