It just burns me out. I like pvping, but I feel like im just grinding 5 hours a night just to get my dailies done. I feel bad for the guys with kids/families who only have a hour or two to play a night. Their daily quests turn in to weeklies, and weeklies turn in to "nevers".

It's bad enough the republic on my server loses 75% of the matches in the 50's bracket; but to make matters worse 1/3 of my wins actually go towards my daily quest. When the **** is this going to be fixed? It's existed SINCE BETA. This has actually led me to other things. Since i'm already a battlemaster and have no other gear to go for, I don't think we are going to win within the first 2-3 minutes, i just leave and queue for another warzone. When i do finally get in to a winning warzone, i pretty much just AFK. Say what you will, but this is what most people do. MOST people do not want to spend 5 hours a night just to get their three wins. Just sayin.

So, after spending the last week going 1 in 12 for battlemaster tokens, i realized I don't want to spend the next 6 months trying to complete my battlemaster set. So, last Friday, I cancelled my sub. I'm not doing this post to rage, or *****, etc., etc. I'm just curious as to if anyone else has quit yet. While the balttmeaster loot randomness was pretty much was the nail in the coffin for me, the top three issues (in order of importance) that led to me cancel: 1-PVP - This includes the above mentioned loot system, but also entails how awful Ilum is, how there really is no "world" pvp, fairly unbalanced classes, and how segregated both factions really are (ie: no ganking in capitols ships). 2-Bugs/Lack of urgency - There were many bugs I could deal with, as with any game launch, that's expected. The biggest bit about this was the lack of urgency/care to many of these. For example, my server bugged out to the point no one could do PVP dailies for a day or two. Despite countless tickets and people reporting the issue, nothing was done. They simply waited until server maintenance (in which the server was rebooted inevitably). While for many this may not seem like a big deal, this pvp daily is a huge part of my day everyday in SWs. Missing out on a day of gear that you only have so many chances to get is kind of important. That's just a specific example, there still are big bugs (like UI freezing) that existed since beta that still aren't fixed. 3-Lack of UI customization / Combat Log - I eventually got used to my chat log being glued to the top left, but I still click on the damn thing ALL. THE. TIME. No macros, no combat log, the essentials of ALL mmos, really made me hate the the setup as well. Anyone else?

bump. **** bioware and their pos bag system.

1 in 11 for battlemaster bags since i posted this. Great work bioware, great work.

Yep, i found that out the other night as well. Worked for me. good temporary solution

What the hell are you talking about for this point: "I hate to say it... but for ease- you can just keep queueing and you'll eventually get your BM bags- or, farm armaments/pvp in Ilum if it actually happens." Do you mean do 400 warzones to get your daily done? Because you can't get bm's out side the daily / weekly questsion. you can't buy them for commendations.

Games been out for a month and a half, and i'm sorry but not everyone plays at a SNAILS pace as i'm assuming you do. Call it sad or whatever the hell you want, but i have 17 days played on my character, as i'm sure may other in this thread do as well. The point is, you should be able to spend the time how you want it...just because someone doesn't causally play only 1-2 hours a night like other people, doesn't mean they should get awarded the same way. Do i think i should get my guy entirely decked out in 3 days? No. But if i'm logged in for 60 hours of though i should be able to get more than the guy who's logged in for 6. Goals should be in place for all play types -- both of these players will get the "loot", just one will get it alot faster because they are putting in the time as soon as possible.

If you cared to read the thread, you'd realize it's not just "3 days of being battlemaster". TROLOLOLOLOLOLOL

And my point is proven. Thank god im not the only person who feel slike this.

Says the level 12.

consider yourself lucky. I grinded to BM when we had to do it only through warzones when Ilum was garbage. I'm guessing at least 5-6 days played to get there. How do you think i feel?

I'm giving LoL a shot, until gw2/d3.

Wasn't he the guy who ruined DoAC pvp too? And i dont mind "working" for my gear, but I want to play a game, that im rewarded for how much time i put in, and can earn more gear/items the more time i put in the game. Random bag chance? Fine. But give me some option where i can grind it out by putting in more hours; don't make me play an entire week and literally have NOTHING to show for it.

just opened 2 more boxes, champion commendations. **** this.

i've bene a bm for 3 - 4 weeks now, i have 3 pieces of bm outside implants and earing. Dont give me the 3 days ****. I grinded my *** off to get to bm, then this Gabe ******* makes Ilum easymode where people can afk to battlemaster in a week.

I agree, any game associated with this Gabe fellow is bound to be pure ****.

Whoever this so called "pvp" guy is at Bioware, has no idea how to do his job. Rationally, here's what it boils down to. Pre-Ilum patch battlemasters, have 2+ sets of FULL champion gear sets (i personally have 8+ of somet items like earrings). Getting boxes with nothing but champion tokens, to which i have absolutely zero use for, is just moronic. I literally log in every day, do my two dailies, then log off -- mind you however, as a repulbic player where my server loses 75-80% of the time, coupled with the god awful bug where wins dont count for daily / weeklies, this takes a few hours. Why can't we have some sort of conversion rate? 50 champions = 1 token? SOMETHING!?!

So, it's bad enough republic on my server lose 75% of level 50 warzones, but having to sit through an extra 5+ games a night to get my effing daily done is just ridiculous. What is so *********** complicated to get this logic correct?!? Anyway, does anyone have any tricks in getting this to work without bugging out? Leave battleground asap? Not do something x seconds before game ends?

Being part of that republic last night, i'll elaborate. We had 2 instances total, each having 50-75 at PEAK times 5-8 central, but other than that it was moslty 50-80 in instance one of ilum. I'm fairly certain we still were vastly outnumbered, looking down the pathways of our base and seeing nothing but what looked to be hundreds of sith. Also, sith DID push us in to our base at one point at about 11 - 11:30 at night for about 20 minutes or so, but the turrets eventually killed everyone. Either way, spent about 5-6 hours there and got 45-50k ish valor dropping heal bombs on my ops group.

I can live with the other crap, but pvp is a HUGE aspect for me. I've spent a TON of time working my way up to battlemaster (currently close to 57) and if what i'm hearing is true about players getting 1k valor every 5 minutes, err empire players getting 1k valor every 5 minutes it is completely unacceptable. What gets me is that they KNEW that EVERY SINGLE server has AT LEAST a 2:1 Emp to Rep ratio, yet they couldn't forshadow this happening? What is the point of testing if they aren't going to do any of it? I know for many this will sound like a empty claim, or I'm just QQing, but I will be canceling my sub tonight if this isn't fixed within the next 12 hours or so. Anyone else feel the same?

I know it cycles. The f1 thing works great in a full group, since you don't have a companion; but for soloing / solo world pvp it is a giant PAIN IN THE *** to deal with. In fact, it leads me to lose some pvp battles because i end up sheilding / healing my *********** companion instead of myself.

Anyone else think it's absolutely RETARDED that target self cycles between you and your companion? I don't know how many times i've died or done something i didn't do because i hit the target self button and end up targeting my POS companion. /rant.

Anyone ?

Anyone have the formula for calculating how much exp is needed to calculate a particular valor rank?
