Empire is the easy realm from start.
Has better abilities (some game breaking like sorc vs sages ones, mirror my *** bioware...)
Has better environment
Has A LOT LOT LOT LOT more players (still remeber when my server was alive in old illum we had barely 2 ops, imps where with over 120 players... saw it in one imp's guy... streaming i was shocked!)
Has A LOT more wz queues, so access to better gear in 1/10 of the time reps have
Has MUCH BETTER looking abilities
Has MUCH BETTER looking gear
Have (and had from day 1 due from all above) ALWAYS an advantage of gear over Rep.
Really, what's the meaninig of playng rep where no queues, 8 ppl in peak time in rep fleet when on the imp side there are almost instant queues with over 80+ ppl in the imperial fleet?
Bioware Fix it now
Cross realm queue
Make mirror classes mirror, and not soooo biased over empire.
Thanks
