I do not like the idea of eliminating any class. To balance the classes is a good idea though difficult. I feel like the biggest problem with ranked is the fact that Solo ques have been ruined by premade teams. If we had cross server warzones premade teams in solo que will be a thing of the past. As far as some classes being OP, that is why most people I know have many toons, I am fine with playing the flavor of the month. I am not fine with premade teams in solo que. Another problem with ranked warzones is the que system. Forcing somebody with a 1400 rating to play with teammates well under 1200 makes for nothing more then frustration. Frustration I do not need. This is why I no longer play the game. Waiting for warzone ques to be fixed.

To make high skill players carry low skill players in ranked combat makes for a frustrating experience. Almost every round I am a top player in ranked warzones. Every time I am on a losing team I am the top player. When I am on a winning team I normally will not be the top player. The fact that high skill players are forced to carry teams every match just is not right. Makes things worse when the Pub side can run premade teams in Solo que because so few people que on the pub side. So here I am being forced to play with bads while pubs get premade teams. Sometimes I get on my 60 pub to get in on the action. Then of course the premade normally will try to get me to stop queing using troll tactics. The community on SWTOR is horrible. The fact that we get no cross server, or tier organized ques makes the game not fun. I have quit the game before because of the same issue's. I really hoped it would be fixed now. Before you argue with me about the que system talk to a Dev. I have, and I know how the ques work. It needs work.

Please read my post again.

I moved from an RP server to a PVP server last month. Sadly I have come to find that even on the PVP server there is more PVE then PVP. I think the solo rank has become a joke. The developers are working on all this new PVE and RP content but the PVP crowd is not seeing any significant content for us. From the lame armor sets to the unbalanced classes pvp crowd is leaving the game. Hacks that run rampant, people manipulating warzones, people with no expertise allowed into ranked matches, people quit matches with no penalty. After so long even the most dedicated pvper will be done with this. Rewards for season 1 were pretty good, launching season 2 with no idea of rewards was a mistake. You see the same people in ranked, match after match as most of the server just is not into it. The people have begged screamed and howled for cross server warzones, and now we see the RP crowd getting player houses. As great as you may think player housing is, you will find that the new will wear off very soon. As people will not be visiting each others house on some grand scale or having RP parties. These houses will just be a place to store things. The pvpers will move to another game. I have been with SWTOR from the start. I am seriously about to put the game down until you get as serious about pvp as you are about RP. Now that other games are coming out with a focus on PVP SWTOR needs to give the PVPers what they want or lose them. With a short season two that people for the most part are not playing I am losing interest. Add the fact that all of my gear on all of my toons will be useless when the level cap increases I have no reason to play until the next patch anyway. PVE is a loss unless you joined a PVE guild. I joined a PVP guild. A guild were just about the time people are geared and feel ready to rank, the season will end. Not that it matters, even if we had a team ready we would be in que for warzones for hours unless we manipulate the system. My suggestion is to listen to your customers and play the game. When you see people upset in a ranked because a certain class has joined then take note. When people beg for certain additions don't ignore them and give them some sort of distraction. Cross server would fix most if not all the pvp que times, penalties for leaving a warzone would help lower the aggravation rate. OH and charging Cartel coins to transfer fleet comes in GSF ended that game for me instantly. I don't even play it anymore as it is pay to win.

I had no problem getting over a 1500 rating in season one. Now in Season two people are manipulating the ranked matches to the point were its not fun. I get insta killed, stunned to death, cced with hydraulic override on. Fact is even with a rating of 1469 people hate to see a merc on their team. I have been through this before with the merc. Now I am seeing it happen again.. My suggestion would be to watch for ranked wz hacks more. Also make the Hydraulic override do what it says. I carry full Brut gear with over 34k health and some operatives can kill me before I come out of the first stun. If I break stun they just cc me again and kill me. Not everyone can do it but more then enough can. Merc needs survivability. I am about to park him and pull out the jug or something. I hate playing a class that people instantly hate to see on their team. Without even knowing your skill level. Please fix it.

People hack in swtor, lots of it happening in ranked matches. Between speed hacks and injecting lag its pretty bad.

I have a great joystick. I was pretty let down by the fact that I cant use it. Also the long que times to play GS.. Now I am playing War Thunder with my joystick, que times are under a minute.

No point in having to wait more then a few minutes for a solo ranked warzone when there are only eight people on the server doing it. I suggest a shorter que time.

I was about to spend an enormous amount of time getting my datacrons on a couple of my 55's. Then it suddenly occurred to me. I hit a hard cap before I ever got best in slot on my main. So I am about to save myself a whole lot of game time by not bothering to get any datacrons ever again. So I guess.. Thanks, but no really.. I miss my datacron hunts. They are no longer worth the trouble though. I suggest raising the hard cap.

Team matching here seems way off. I had one dev tell me it was based on an internal skill value system. I have had many problems with this system. Namely I get teamed up with people with a really low internal skill as mine is high. More often then not, win or lose, I am carrying the team. I have dozens of screenshots to prove this. Then when I get on a team with two tanks and a low dps there just is no way to do enough damage to take down a team with two healers. Being told each team composition has its advantages and disadvantages just is not enough. Granted, if I had two of the best tanks on the server I may be able to pull a win, if we are on vent or teamspeak together. I have grinded out two sets of Obroan gear one best in slot. I have done all of this with barely any ranked warzones at all due to the lack of ques or some kinda que bug. I join warzones to have a little fun, not to be fodder for a well composed team. I have all but decided that from now on I will drop these warzones rather then waste my time in a losing battle. When one team gets two healers no tank, while the other team gets two tanks and no healer there is an obvious problem with the matching system. This seems the same for regular and ranked warzones.

I suggest better incentives for ranked. While also not being able to group que in a solo ranked match. This should get people doing ranked matches again. I am not sure what the incentives should be. Maybe better gear, as much as I hate a gear grind. People out there really think that the Conqueror gear is as good as the Orboan gear. Maybe more ranked comms would be an easier fix. All I know is it sucks getting your Obroan gear only getting regular warzone pops. I have a great new toon almost full Obroan gear and can safely say he will not ever be best in slot. As you will likely release new gear before I could get in the warzones to do it. I get in que on a regular basis for ranked matches and I have managed to get a total of three matches. Once again I really like the game. I hope you find a cure for the lack of ranked warzones.

Its starting.. I have been having que times on regular warzones today of over 20 minutes. Half of my warzones today I won by default when the other team quit.

Are things different on your server? can you get a solo que in less then an hour? How about a ranked que? Maybe the problem is just the server I am on. Maybe all the discussion in general chat concerning this is confined to my server. If you play on a server with people that have the guts to que solo ranked on the reg let me know. I have not seen it. Oh, and dummies are my intended audience, at least in part.

I don't know what server you are on. There are NO solo que warzones happening on my server. The premade teams ruined it, nobody will que up anymore. I sat in que over an hour yesterday begging people to que up solo. With over 150 people on fleet we could not get one match. You may ask yourself why? Population is so small on the pub side that the same premade almost always teams together. If they do not get a que together they quit. Leaving you a man short. So it is clear something needs to be done. Knowing that people are not getting any ranked matches even still, after they went from eight man to four man and solo you should see a problem. If you see no problem with this then I don't know what to tell you. Do you think the developers figured this would happen? Do you think the developers planned for weak pvpers to group premade regular warzones all day and ignore ranked que? If you are not seeing these problems on your server please say so.. I may try a character transfer.

Thanks for the suggestion. I took four people into ranked que last night. Not one pop for over an hour. Went back into regular warzones to find weak pvpers trying to run a premade. Regulators premade of six got beat by the four of us. Then I logged off as the que time got extremely slow after the regulators called it a night. I would argue that casual does indeed = solo. Frankly, if the folks running premade warzones show attitudes like the ones defending the current system, I do not want to group with them anyway. I have a lot of fun solo queing, I have done it enough to gear several 55's. As the population is getting smaller everyday now, premade teams are messing it up for everyone. Premade teams are to afraid to go ranked group. They don't want to sit in long que times that they created by ruining the ranked solo que. Soon enough it will not matter anyway, as warzone que times will get so outrages fewer and fewer people will even que. Then all of you folks that run regular warzones to own pugs will get your way. Its obvious what you want is a smaller player base, with less real competition so you can feel like a real " gamer " owning twelve year olds that have not caught on yet. You will get your way. New people will always come along, then they will quit when they see how things are done. Go ahead and defend your dying game. Or help it, I really don't care. Some great new games on the horizon.

Actually its only the same 5-8 people saying there needs to be no change. While the rest are upset. Keep lying to yourself and watch your pvp pool get smaller and smaller.

Here is the point you are not getting. People are not spending hours and hours grinding for gear while not looking for a group. See, most of the pvpers out there are casual pvpers. What that means is in order to make the majority of the community happy there needs to be a way for casual players to log in and warzone. While taking breaks to live a real life, and come back to the game. Not everyone out there lives and breaths MMO's. Most people out there are not in the one or two pvp guilds on the servers ruining the fun for everyone, because they are to afraid to do ranked. Just today I sat in ranked que for over an hour with no pop. At the same time premade teams are recking face in regular warzones. Maybe you could use your imagination to come up with something constructive to the conversation instead of, well you know.

Nice try pulling people off topic.. You were so bored you keep coming back.. I am hearing Blah blah blah. Please try to stay on point and not get sidetracked trying to pick what I say apart. Or shall I pick apart your typing skills?

People are not getting bored. Those that argue against a warzone fix are in for a rude awakening. I am sure you are all having fun face rolling pugs. I watched two people unsub today. Not because of gear. Not because they are bored. They are leaving the game because its not fun to play the same premade teams day after day. The dev's gave us ranked warzones to help this and the premade teams are to afraid to even go in them. Fact is pvpers are fickle, they leave games. Fact is also that this game is steady getting a smaller and smaller population. For those ruining regular warzones they are also ruining the chance for this game to become bigger and better. The fewer the subs the more cartel crap you will see, and the less real content. My main point being there should be an option for the casual player to log in and warzone without dealing with premade teams that live and breath SWTOR. I mainly pvp, been here since the beginning. I am always looking for a better mmo. I have stayed here for many reasons. Time is growing short for good pvp though. When I get three and four warzones in a row that have already started, that people quit, and I get to lose with a team I did not start with its about time to call it quits. Premade teams run people out of warzones so fast you can't even put together one good offensive sometimes. Premade teams are also running people right out of subscribe status. So keep it up. FYI, I never premade regular warzones. My team is good enough for ranked. I am concerned for the future of the game because I like it. I love killing you all in warzones even with you premade. When I solo one of you its like a win for me. I have best in slot pvp gear. I have good pvp gear on three 55's. I have found a way to have fun in spite of the problems. Most people have not though. Many more people just quit then stick it out. Talk bad all you want. This game will be void of any real pvp if this continues unchanged.

Okay, sounds right.. Are you a developer? You sound as though you could give a &%$# what people think.

Ha.. Point proven, thanks.

Feel free to read my post over. My suggestion was and is cross server warzones all around. Would not hurt to make cross server instances as well ( although I am reaching there ). A faster fix may be to just not allow a group to que unless in a ranked match. Let people q for more then one thing may help. I would say also please read the PVP forum for more suggestions. Mighty big thread going atm about premade's killing pvp. I realize this is an MMO. There are many casual players out there that do not have time to nurture online relationships in order to face roll pugs. I am on the forums today after watching another casual PVP guild fall apart as people are leaving the game. Same complaint over and over is pvp. The reasons are normally about the same until a fix comes along. PVP'ers are a hard group to keep happy. I don't hear people complaining about class's or one guy being op or another. Its mostly complaints about horrible teams in a warzone. Warzone teams can be bad but it is magnified by total premade teams that should be in ranked que. I even watched solo ranked que get ruined on my server when premade teams invaded there. If they are not leaving your warzone to reque with friends then you are fighting them. I think I lost at least half of my solo ranked matches due to being outnumbered. Suggestions to fix that. Penalize people that quit.. Make better rewards for ranked play. Listen to complaints about people exploiting ques. I know we cant fix it all. I know of Pub's that have imp toons and will throw a game for their friends. And vice verses. At this point I have seen a multitude of people exploiting the game in one way or another. My suggestion for that would be listen to the complaints sent in on tickets and investigate in a timely manner. To let people know you care. There are always going to be exploiters, but if you act like you care, people will stick around because its a great game overall.

Its all great in theory. I witnessed the solo Q ruined by premades on my server. So few people on the republic side were queing up that the guildies could dominate even there. They have no problem leaving a warzone for you to lose if they do not get teamed up with whom they like. For the first week I got a lot of solo ques. Most of the ones I lost had to be when I was outnumbered due to people that quit because they did not get their " team". Now if you solo que on my server you are in for hours of wait. Even if you get in general chat and beg people to que solo it just is not happening.

Children do not understand points such as yours. People out there assume you have no life, and can spend hours a day manufacturing fake relationships with people just to face roll pug's
