I have been playing PvP all through the levelling experience, from 10 - 49 and quite enjoyed the experience, because as we all know this game is meant to be fun.....right? Every now and again I would run into premades and the PUG I was in would get absolutely steamrolled. That's not a big deal, as my thinking is the players who are organised should have the advantage. Also obviously because of the bolster system, gear isn't that big of a deal, as everyones stats are bolstered to level 49. I have just recently hit 50 and thought I would do the right thing and fork out the 300k+ credits for all the recruit gear so I would at least have a chance in level 50 PvP, unfortunately the recruit gear and level 50 PvP is a bit of a joke, especially when you are going against either full premades who are gridning out the new War Hero gear or players in full Battlemaster with 20k+ hitpoints, where as me and my little Jedi Guardian with full recruit gear and one War Hero Implant has about 13k hitpoints and around 800 expertise, I played about 15 WZ's and in each one, the opposition would single me out and stomp me into the ground, its not fun getting focused by 2 - 3 geared players where all they have to do to defeat you in is breathe on you.
I don't know how to fix the system, or if when ranked warzones get implimented this will solve a lot of the problems of new players entering the lvl 50 PvP bracket, but in all honesty how the hell is someone suppose to play and enjoy the game while get 2 shotted, respawning and then getting 2 shotted again, its just not fun and all the while you end up with no medals or very few medals, so to even gear up to battlemaster will be a constant cycle of respawning and dying.
