This is pretty common on my server.

Then you could build a premade 4 man team and grief the 4 pugs on your team constantly.

Well I play to have fun and not necessarily chase gear so my view of things are different. Even in the event they do farm me its about 8-10 minutes of time burned and I'm still earning medals anyway. If I actually DO feel like its hopeless and I'm getting frustrated I will leave but I'm not going to re-queue. I'm going to go do something else with my time because I'm not enjoying myself. If you don't want a 15 minute deserter debuff that's totally fine and that's absolutely your opinion. The only justification for a lack of a penalty though is always going to be "I'm looking to steamroll because I fear competition." Honestly, if sitting in a losing warzone for 15 minutes makes people rage-quit then they deserve a 15 minute timeout.

Posting to say that HuttBall is pretty awesome and the only real problem with it is that its the only map you can face your faction on. So if you're in an overpopulated faction you're probably sick of playing it. I think a few tweaks might be handy (those air vents can be a little annoying at times) but otherwise the premise is very sound.

Generally people that scream and rant and rave leave and a good majority of players stick around because its just a game and there's no reason to get bent out of shape because the other team is providing some measure of competition.

Since its just a video game I don't get all bent out of shape if my team doesn't steamroll the other side constantly. Hopeless situations generally end really quick anyway so you might as well collect a few medals and commendations. I've been in plenty of warzones where half the team (usually the premade half) is sitting in the middle of the map farming medals while someone manages to score on us. The premade quits and with the pug replacements we still have a pretty good shot at turning the game around. There should be a penalty for leaving a warzone early and a "you can't queue for 15 minutes" seems appropriate. Right now there really isn't any reason to try. Just drop and re-queue and hope you get a group that steamrolls the other side.

Warcraft hunter spotted!

Pretty much skip them until I've got 3-4 levels on them then go back and two man them with a guildy thats close to appropriate level.

I'd probably just play through the game once to level cap and then play something else if game designers thought like you did. Thankfully Bioware actually understands there is a need for it: Just sayin'

None of your reasons really are true though. Every patch with balance changes people were constantly changing their builds. I'd say I probably spent over 6000 gold on respecs long before they added dual spec in. Want to PVP? Time to swap! Oh I'm needed for a raid! Guess I'll go re-spec! Oh we're short a healer, I guess I'll go re-spec! I literally would find myself changing specs 3 times a day from one build to another build. A player being unwilling to play because he's tired of spending money moving talent points around and re-arranging hotbars is a bad thing for the game. Dual spec or lack thereof won't make people cancel; but if you can't find a group because of a shortage of role X then you might stop playing the game outright.

Premade vs premade is pretty much the norm in warcraft. If you're playing with friends and coordinating, why not have a challenging match where you're playing against another team of coordinated friends?

I did it at even level (31 or 32ish?) and interrupted something (maybe thundering blast? or was that the later fellow?) and in between jolt cooldowns I'd use my knockback or low slash. Right as Khem was running low on health I popped my 20 minute cooldown for a second electrocute. If things started looking bad I'd low slash and line of site and pop a medpack. I'm pretty sure Khem died at some point but so did Zash. It's been a few weeks but I know its certainly possible to solo Zash as an even level deception build. edit: To the guy above me, agree strongly. I actually end up burning my commendations for a planet on companion gear. Also don't forget they generally don't come with an earpiece, implants and a helm.

A bunch of players scratching their head trying to figure out what it means? In the one game I know that has it; its technically an optional feature. You don't have to use it at all and there are plenty of people who basically have a PVP and PVE version of the same build. Some people want to play a healer but prefer to use damage to do solo content. No reason to limit these people and it's not going to impact the difficulty of the game beyond saving a little time and money.

Actually since money is so easy to come by what will actually happen is the offtank will run off to re-spec for the content and then swap back when needed. There is really no reason to not offer dual spec. If you think its going to make your game too "easy" then feel free not to use the feature. That said, a lack of dual spec isn't going to prevent people from having strategy guides or tankspot like videos on how to down content. You're deluding yourself if you think otherwise. A game's challenge should come from fight mechanics and actual challenges, it shouldn't be strictly from dealing with out-dated game rules or kludgey interface decisions.

Sure there is! A jukebox token is 100 credits so when someone pays you 60 credits to save their kid or go kill someone, it's not even enough money to change the song on the jukebox. If we use that as a metric then its probably more realistic that 100 credits is about a dollar so really the OP is lucky if he can afford a can of pepsi with his reward.
