From the begining of time the way its worked is you reap what you sow, players that spend more time playing should be reaping better benefits , its as simple as that. The system is balanced and every player has an equal chance to get any gear they want, the problem is the casuals expect to earn the items in a week by only playing an hour a day. They seem to think they have zero chance at winning because everyone is better geared so they cry, we all started at the bottom and had to work our way to the top, with everything in life you must start at the bottom in the mud and get your hands dirty, only one you been through that will you achieve greatness. With an hour a day and the dailies you could easily almost earn full centurion gear within a week and work your way from there. I think these changes are fail from every point of view, currently its not perfect but you dont need to reinvent the wheel, just improve it. I worked hard towards earning my items and by giving equal items away to cry babies that dont wanna earn them you are ripping out every sense of achievement and progress from pvp, without that there will be no point to the repetetive warzone matches, the fun is in competing and having a sense of pride in your achievements.

Well i have been chasing valor lvl 60 and im almost there, this news is terrible and i feel like i have wasted my time, I cancelled my sub and i definately wont be renewing it. BW is making the same stupid mistakes WOW did by voiding peoples time and efforts, you make the bed bioware u can sleep in it i aint gonna!

I agree, get rid of expertise , it has no value and no benifit to pvp as a whole. Currently all it does is seperate the PVE'RS from the PVP'ERS and reduce the number of people taking part in pvp. By removing expertise you can easily double the amount of people playing warzones by attracting the pve players, this will not be a issue for pvp players as they generaly are alot more skilled when it comes down to killing players. PvP players are already generaly at an advantage to pve players because of practise and all expertise does is widen the gap making it horrible for casual/non pvp players to enjoy. All you need is to balance the tiers of pve & pvp gear and give top end pve & pvp players a fair chance at each other but have different set bonuses. This way players can decide to either attain gear through pve or pvp depending on their preference. MMO gaming is all about time investment and players must be rewarded according to time invested and should be able to enjoy every aspect of the game regardless of preference. So yes get rid of expertise and upgrade the pvp servers to handle the influx of people in warzones.

Is there a way to exchange centurion tokens for champion tokens?, If not then why not?, Currently staking up commendations with no use for them as i am already full of centurion gear.

As all of you know quitters quitting warzones are a huge issue at the moment and something needs to be done. currently we have a situation where players quit or should i say "quitters" and put the burden onto other innocent players that get put into those quitters slots in warzones that are already failing, this is extremely frustrating and a huge waste of time. I have a suggestion that i think could work, let me explain. Bioware should introduce a surrender function for pvp , if you feel your team is getting ripped a new $%^&ole you can choose to surrender, this can be a vote and all players on the team can vote to either surrender or keep going, if the majority votes to surrender the game ends. you will get your medals/commendations that you earned up to the point the game ended. Discuss.

hi i am a combat medic and would like to start doing some HM fp's but not sure if my healing is good enough yet. What sort of healing should i be doing to succesfully heal the easiest HM and the hardest? At the moment my HP is 14k , my hammer shot heals are roughly 160 and crit around 280-300 , my advanced medical probe and medical probe heals are 2k-3k and crit at around 5k+. normal directive 7 is quite easy to heal through and find myself doing dps most of the time. Your input would be appreciated. cheers

The robot is totaly annoying , firstly he is a squishy little marshmellow that takes more aggro than he can handle. with groups of 4 normal mobs i found myself wasting too much time restoring his health or healing him. Most annoying part is he seems to always get in my way , whether im looting corpses or using quest items i always seem to click on the dam robot and have to listen to his comments. I leveled as medic/gunnery used aric jorgan most the way and only dropped him when i got tannik vic , tannic seems to be the most efficient companion for my spec as he tanks while i spank the mob and heal him, now and then i switch to aric when i need a dps boost.
