Yeah I really don't know why I expected anything big. After things such as
1) hyping up me3 and saying our choices would matter
2) telling us that something better than cross server warzones was coming
I have to feel like I've brought this on myself to a certain degree by enabling Bioware to troll me with my money.
Remove it from 55 period. I pug on jedi covenant and I can tell you this, if you are in min-maxed gear and a pre-made like LD50 or Uncensored goes up against your team you will get facerolled. Gear only plays a role in a match between equally skilled players. I solo queued through some horrible matches and managed to almost get min-maxed gear for my spec before 2.0. For sage heals most of it consisted of regular WH gear. Honstly the hardest thing to get was the pve armorings i needed for it because they were going for about 640k a pop. If I was a fresh 50, a week is probably all it would have taken me to obtain all the gear I needed if I would have went balls to the wall.
TL;DR
Player skill does not equal gear and obtaining bis pvp gear takes as long as you want it to take.
This right here. I mainly pvp in this game. How is it right to those like myself that bust our asses (I mainly pug against premades) by taking the time and effort to get top pvp gear, when pve geared players can come in a match with better stats?
I really wish Bioware would tell us soon if we are going to be forced to pve in order to be competitive in warzones. As always their silence is deafening.
Actually I've found that half naked is best for me. I think my mainhand, off hand, gloves, earpiece, and boots were what gave me best bonus heal/damage. Other than that I was naked.
It would not have been that bad if people would have saved comms from pre-50s warzones. Also EWH gear was not always BiS. Anyways kudos for giving a non-trollish response to the OP.
I honestly don't know why people are giving you so much hell about this issue. Revenge of the less than average pvpers maybe? But yes it's a serious issue and I hope bioware fixes it asap.
