Wouldn't that mean then that the republic is in more warzones, getting more pvp currency, and getting more gear overall than the empire? Yeah we win more but the republic gets to play more.
I love the pvp as well. For the first time I actually don't mind the winning/losing bit. I get rewarded for actually playing the warzone.
I'm only a level 18 Mercenary and I can make a difference in pvp. There is no reason that there should be an "unbalanced" issue here. If anything the republic should be better geared than he empire. I just feel the empire is better organized than the republic.
