Nah, I'd prefer it if everyone was auto equipped with recruit gear upon entering warzone. You can keep your expertise for open world. I'd love to see the excuses roll.

I wasn't a Marauder, Powertech, or healer and my guild's 8 man was optimized for the faceroll flavor of the month, so I stopped bothering. The system sucks. I don't know how they'll change it in the future for solo queueing, but if its based solely off win/loss and doesn't take individual performance into account you can forget it. Rated is going to suck until some much needed balancing is done.

I despise PUG huttball and pray they add a warzone selection choice in the future.

An interesting idea but the Fleet is supposed to be a safe haven for gathering/trading/grouping. I can't see Bioware doing this.

World PvP is terrible right now, there's a reason Bioware did away with Ilum.

Not a chance. Too many babies would whine they'd lose their advantage and had to play on equal footing.

They'll deny it, but the same people who say this are the ones that want/need massive advantages over people so they can faceroll and feel good about themselves.

I did earn my keep on a full auged wh jugg. Is it earning my keep when I use comms I no longer need on that character to send over 5 pieces of war hero gear to an alt, that they can equip with level 1 valor through legacy gear? You just want easy meat in the 50 bracket.

I'd be fine with that as well. Also damaging the 50s bracket? Have you seen some of the 49s in full Belsavis daily gear with full purple augs forever staying 49 and 2-3 shotting people?

Seriously. Why does a new character entering the 50 bracket have to be nothing more than squishy meat for a large amount of matches until they grind out more comms they already would have had pvping in under 50. Under 50 pvp is pvp. Those comms were earned every bit as much as in the 50 bracket. There is nothing stopping me from getting 5 pieces of war hero gear on my main, ripping out the mods and putting them in legacy gear and transferring them. Also the battlemaster turn in has become annoying if you want to buy off spec sets for your main. What is the point in keeping it around?

And the PvE?

I never stated EQ2 was perfectly balanced, I stated it has a system that separates PvP changes and PvE changes, which is much better than the current system where everything is all encompassing.

I disagree with PvE nerfs affecting PvP and vice versa, regardless of class or spec.

You can never balance for both. Some class is always going to get screwed. Why is it so difficult make an ability have 1 effect vs npcs and another in player vs player combat? This is 2012. Stop using an outdated system and thought process. Everquest 2 did this 5 years ago. Can we please stop using metrics and target dummy data and actually have Bioware people play the game to see real situations?

To all the people saying Sorcs are fine... If sorcs are so good, why do you see so few DPS sorc/sages in rated?
