Exaggerate more. I do WZs all the time, and I've literally never seen this happen. Yes it is a bug and yes it can be abused, but these obnoxiously overblown numbers make you look like a bunch of people crying wolf.

Roll Republic, or get used to it. Huttball is awesome, anyway.

Marauders and snipers do insane damage, you're just a bunch of bads. That is all.

Wow did and does have a huge pvp grind associated with it. Yeah that game was a total failure as well. I hate you.

Taunt counts towards your Protection points. At least take the time to test what you're complaining about before coming to whine about it. Tanks in this game are implemented about perfectly, with lower than average damage but lots of ways to earn points and help via taunt/guard. As a 37 ST Bounty Hunter I get 8-10 medals every single game, and I play to win, not farm.

Or, they can do exactly as they've announced, and leave the gear alone and just give 50s their own bracket. Seriously, expertise exists to differentiate pvp and pve gear, and it succeeds in doing that. The exact maths with expertise and the warzone lvl buffing may need adjusting at some point in the future, but that is entirely besides the point. Once we have enough 50s, they will be bracketed off on their own. The results will give pve'ers the best pve gear, pvp'ers the best pvp gear, and allow those leveling to pvp as much as they want. I don't see a problem? Maybe the level buffing in warzones could be tweaked so the low lowbies aren't a joke, but that's about it.

Oh god, this thread made my brain rupture.
