I bust my butt in every WZ i go into, but since 1.2, needing at least 3 medals to get any sort of compensation, I have to focus on that first, NOT the objectives of the match. When my team is losing, and I don't have a single medal, I forget about everythinng else but making sure my time wasn't wasted in this WZ. Unfortunately, maybe because I suck, maybe because the imps are too OP, IDK, but I don't seem to make it to 3 medals.
Like I said, it's NOT for lack of trying, because I do, so when I'm out there trying to win a match, see that we are losing, and that I don't have a single medal, I have to try to get them. By then it's usually too late and I'm stuck with a 0-0-0-0 at the end. I feel it's a TOTAL waste of my time.
How about the fact that I could be working on someone 1-on-1, get them to 2%, then have some a-hole with a blaster kill him from 20m out, so I don't get ANY credit for the kill, or the time/energy it took to wail on that player. Those instances keep me from getting my medals, thus getting my rewards.
Prior to 1.2, I didn't pay much attention to the medals, as they were 'cosmetic' to me, giving me additional bonuses at the end of a match. Now, I think ONLY of medals first, then, once I have the minimum 3, then I can focus on the objectives of the WZ. This, to me, is totally dumb. I should not have to worry about medals=rewards, I should worry about whether i can take that turret, or score the Huttball, or whatever.
I love this game, and 1.2 brought a lot of good. But the changes to the PVP system are way off. I don't PVP a lot, but still 4-6 matches a session would net me a few extra creds, and the comms for getting some decent gear. Now I don't even want to waste my time trying, because I might be on the losing end, and it really sucks
