Unless you're a sniper/gunslinger, no. You have it eazmode.

You do realize it would be an epic fail of massive proportions if they nerfed pvp gear without touching pve gear, right? I'm almost 100% positive that's exactly what's gonna happen, bw rolling out some fail patch without any *** clue.

Value != hours played.

I stopped reading somewhere around the part where you said swtor = 4 RPGs or so. By your logic, minesweeper offers infinite value, for free (plus it's actually harder than swtor). Quality > quantity. The SPRPG value of this game is close to non-existent (3/10 score as a single player RPG or so).

Your tldr was too long.

FOTM = sorc since day 1 They will never get nerfed, simply because 60%+ of the player base is playing one. Op/scoundrel were easy targets for the nerf bat, simply because for every IA/smuggler you see, there's 10 sorcs. You hit sorc with the bat, and the amount of tears will crash these forums.

They're called RNG bags for a reason.

Downgrade myself you mean?

And that, is what will kill MMOs... and basically gaming in general.

You will get 1.) One gear token (probably a belt) 2.) 15 centurion tokens 3.) 20k credits Then the pointless farm begins, and stops when you realize the only end content in this game is doing 3x warzones over, and over, and over..... over............ over....................... over............... ................................................. and over..................... ................. ........... ............ and over again.

Butthurt pve'er alert.

Mental image from this made me lol.

^ butt hurt mercenary.

It's shunned because imperial agents have close to zero utility, snipers/GS even less. It's shunned because doing well with a sniper/GS requires your IQ to be over 90, which the majority of people fail to possess. It's shunned because it's "hard" in pve (most bads quit because of this alone). You don't see them much because they're imperial agents/smugglers, which are the least played base classes in the game (yet sorcs insist on calling them fotm).

Lol that's a classic.

Good thing you're not a game designer. Job requires common sense.

If you actually read the thread and thought your reply through before posting (applies to quote above as well), this could be avoided.

Where are FOTM operatives who flood every game, based on everything I've read here?

It would not be because expertise soft caps early, it would be because the +15% crit only requires two pieces, so for a class that's mostly tracer missile spam, it's actually worth it (since the extra damage gained from two rakata > loss of few percent expertise). Full rakata gear is an entirely different matter (meaning total fail) vs. full BM.

It's voidstar.

Operative is probably the strongest solo pve class in the game... so. So you're exactly the kind of person you're b$tching about? Logic was never strong over the internet. FYI - I completely agree that concealment doesn't need a nerf (it's nothing special at 50 BM vs BM, unless your opponents are braindead noobs), but you can still solo pve through this game with any operative tree. Healing lets you solo named champions.

+1 for super cool ironic troll. Or could it be because they're both F2P no-name games with zero marketing and crappy management? FYI - APB "died" to a massive hack fest, and was resurrected by one of THE most incompetent gaming companies on the planet (shares the title with EA), GamersFirst™.

Cool story bro.

Would require too much effort. Instead, they can pump out operations/flashpoints nobody gives a dick about, and call that progress, while the oblivious masses in denial will actually buy into it.

Hello, tool, I cancelled on the 19th, and I can still post here. Hi.
