The justice system he entirely supported and loved, that wronged him, out of love for the others which he had forgiven to set an example. It is identical to jesus sacrifice to save mankind kinda of logic.

Socrates before he died, he had a chance to escape, yet he didn't and drunk the poison. He had forgiven his co-citizens for the bads they put him to and he wanted to set an example of love and forgiveness to his students.

Love and forgiveness is not faith related reason. It originated by Plato and Socrates before Jesus.

I dont have time to address everything (I will when I find time) but quick response to this: I haven't read Hume, but since you brought it up what would Hume do to the sinned woman that was about to get stoned to death? Jesus preaches about loving and forgivness. Does Hume teach hating and eternal doom?

He is NOT dragging anyone. If you have a big participation you will not play with or against them. Your current experience that the occasional bad will drag you down, is derived from alienating bads and demoralising them out of ranked. Your best interest is exactly the opposite: more people participating will guarantee that you team up against similar rated people.

I don't have swtor specific experience, but wow forums were spammed by bad players crying over getting destroyed by premades or geared people or twinks. They felt that new players should play against new players. Forgot to say that even in arenas bad players complained when they were facerolled by good players who dropped their MMR or rating on purpose. It is realistic to say that bads want to play with other bads. And even if they are not loud enough, they will get bullied, demoralised and unsubscribe saying "**** swtor/wow this game sucks. it doesn't give me a chance to win"

missing the point. The bad doesn't want to get carried. he wants to play with other bads just like himself. Or in PVE terms a bad does not want to get carried. he wants to find similar players to have fun.

It does, or it would. The problem is that there are not enough players playing. So instead of you waiting 4 hours to play to someone similar rated you end up playing with or against whoever is queued. If 100-200 bads or noobs played, you would not team up with them. They would team up against each other. When you intimidate noobs, you actually hurt your chances to play with or against someone on your skill level.

they should nerf smash further && they should nerf enraged defense as well [sARCASM]

I totally agree with the original post. All of the arguments against it are flawed. For example: But how do you "measure" skill? For every person *you* think is not worthy of ranked, there will be someone better than you who thinks the same about yourself. So by your reasoning you should immediately stop ranked. who gives *you* the authority to do that? From the bible jesus preached:

I can't comment on what will happen on tuesday and 2.7 bolster. However on live, I would spend all my points on the two obroan relics, because you can use bolster on everything else.

You can find my opnion regarding the topic at my signature. I can understand rage quitting sometimes, but more often I disagree with the reasoning.

is the above OR worded wrong, and should be a (logical) AND?

Quoting this for eternal justice!

I completely agree. I think that a big factor of why people would consider that PVP failed or fails is exactly this. They fail to see the bigger picture. I am not defending the game, I am just advocating that PVP would be way more fun if people haven't been negative. Other than negative dudes, the game could improve. One of the things I don't enjoy is that extremely often I am not in control of my character, and I don't have the tools to kite as I would enjoy to.
