I have a friend in RL that i play the game with . We play for fun in pvp and just got our full BM augmented set YAY !! If you make a pre-made only que then it will take much longer for our ques to pop ( even with cross server as cross server does NOTHING to solve the problem at all ) and that will make those of us with friends upset >.< ...... How does cross server not fix anything , here how !!!!!!!! HYPOTHETICAL SITUATION !!!!!!! Assumptions : Avg number of pug pvpers at any server : 32 Avg number of premade pvpers at any server : 10 grps of 4 = 40 Every game MUST have 1 premade in it ( if this werent the case people might not be complaining here so much ). Thus 4 of the 16 people WILL be a premade There are 2 servers If its single server then 8 of the groups PER SERVER will be able to get pops immediately but 2 PER SERVER will have to wait . Thus 4 groups will wait If its 2 servers then 16 of the groups will be able to get pops immediately but 4 will wait ................ I can make a more complex scenario with ranges of players , more realistic averages and with probability of having a premade in the pug group but i hope this simpler example suffices

Entitlement == Deserving of same or equal rewards by virtue of having same status regardless of any other factor than that status . For example : I am a human thus i have the right to breathe ( here being a human is the status and everything else is the other factors ) I am a paying player thus i have the right to a fair and competitive pvp environment without unfair gear disparity due to time spent ( here paying customer is the status and time spent is other factors ) People throw around words like entitlement and socialism like they are inherently evil . Hopefully after reading this you will realize entitlement is what allows you to live and thus it is not by default a bad thing If you were not entitled i would *********** climb through your window at night and pop you , you *********** waste of space and oxygen . Have a nice day

You do realize abolishing gear disparity has nothing to do with RP'ing

This is exactly why i play SC2 , the only difference between me and everyone else is skill . And before everyone else starts flaming me i am currently Gold League with a highest ever of Platinum League

Dont suppose someone can write up a list of BiS tanking gear for juggs And please dont say respec to dps / get dps gear . I am not interested in that. I do fine in rateds with my tank gear but i would not mind min/maxing it EDIT : I am currently trying out some might armoring 26's to replace some of pvp armorings but havent done anything beyond that so any further direction is nice

You got 1 shotted by mobs on your juggernaut ( or any class for that matter ) ? Unless you decided to solo a Champion ( Final bosses of H4's and FP's ) mob or a world boss this simply cant be the case

Because not everyone enjoys same faction combat , call it whatever you want "carebear" , "kiddies" etc etc , but some people enjoy the sense of camaraderie in seeing another Jedi Knight/Trooper/consular/smuggler and knowing you can count on them to help you against the evil tide of the sith. Further more in order to cater to all 3 types of people ( current pve , current pvp and your pvp mentalities ) they would need a new type of server. There are already few enough players as it is , splitting up the pop further is a bad idea

Um no its not the pve server model lol , in pve servers people from 2 different factions can choose not to fight each other . In PvP servers people from 2 different factions can always fight each other

I recommend using a skill calc like on torhead or darth hater rather than typing out here , much easier to help that way

Im making an assumption here but perhaps gear is not your problem . Tanking is way way more than just a gear check . Are you coordinating CC's correctly ( tank's job ) , are you positioning mobs correctly to allow use of AOE damage abilities ( tank's job ) , are you calling kill orders correctly ( tank's job ) , are you allocating dps to adds correctly ( tank's job ) ... etc etc As i said as soon as i got centurion gear i could tank HM dungeons and SM raids and once i got BM/Columi gear i could tank pretty much everything except EC

You can dps just fine as a guardian , vengeance is good for group pve and rage for solo pve

I have a half BM/half WH fully augmented Guardian tank right now . I dont care about the grind i went through to get my gear ( anyone remember the champion/BM bags ? ) nor do i care about all the nerf mara/PT ( sent/van ) threads . I can take them 1v1 just fine and i can get my gear just fine . But does that i mean i approve of the gear grind ? no it does not . Even though i worked hard to get my BM/WH gear i can completely understand why someone would like normalized stats across all wz's. It does make sense that some people want a game that is competitive from the get go like SC or GW2 etc where time invested simply means better rankings and more skill with a class. Am i going to quit the game ? NO Am i going to stop pvping until all my toons get free WH ? NO As i said i can do the grind , no problem ( having some RL friends i play with helps though ) ..... but i can completely understand the desire for a completely even playing field

Are you talking about dungeons or raids ? I started tanking HM dungeons with 16k health , normal mode raids with 16k health ( mix of centurion and champion gear ) and HM raids with 18-19k health ( full BM ) If you have that or equivalent pve gear your golden

This is a decent guide here http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=146169 Though i dont think it has 1.3 changes yet . These are the specs i personally use PVE : http://www.torhead.com/skill-calc/#101RMGdudMdfzZcGM.2 PVP : http://www.torhead.com/skill-calc/#101RrGkzzMZsMrMrhzzM.2 If you need any more tips just ask ill be happy to give some EDIT :: As for companions it depends , you can either use a healer companion or a dps companions . Both have pro's and cons. Healer is much slower but easier . With a dps comp its faster but your hp drops a little more As a tank you can solo H2's with either

Here's the thing : 1 ) I dont rage quit cause my team sucks 2 ) I dont rage quit cause my team doesnt listen to me With that out of the way id like say i "rage" quit because well i feel like it . Im not sure what this feeling is : anger ? boredom ? tiredness ? i really dont know and frankly i dont care. Its just a loss of will to play the wz im in. So i leave Do i know it affects my team ? yes i do . But whatever that feeling is it stops me from caring . PS : here is some advice , dont call the ones your trying to give "advice" to kids / not adults / immature . Doesn't help and despite what you might believe many on the internet are not kids or trolls. There are decent folk here
