I agree completely. That's why I think it's important that they add centurion bags, and adjust the bags so that they give both comms and a RNG token for the corresponding gear type. That means they'll have to add BM comms into the game, too. This way, (1) the bags will be more logical (I open a champion bag, I get champion comms and maybe a free champion gear piece. I open a BM bag, I get BM comms and maybe a free BM gear piece), (2) 50s can get into centurion gear quicker and (3) they don't have to nerf champion bags.

These are just suggestions on my end. Right now the BM bags give champion comms and a chance at a BM token. It doesn't make sense why bags don't give comms and a chance of a RNG token of the bag type. Cent should have nothing to do with champ bags, and champ should have nothing to do with BM bags.

Hi Georg, Thanks for adding some clarification to the debate. I have mixed feelings about the change. On one hand, this is positive because it removes the RNG element and makes things more predictable, which is what a lot of people wanted all along. Psychologically, I think people are more equipped to deal with work/grind as long as it's expected. On the other hand, it's probably a net negative solution because it only lengthens the time it'll take for a new 50 to bridge the gap to those who were fortunate enough to get to full champion/BM early in the game. Yes, we realize that the changes means that the divide won't be quite as large, but the divide will now last longer, which is why the responses are negative overall. I understand that you can't make any significant changes to valor otherwise you'll have people who can't reequip their items, among other undesirable effects. I have a few simple suggestions I hope your team will consider. Centurion Bags 1) Add a centurion bag that is openable (preferably pre-50) which awards centurion comms (and possibly a RNG for a centurion gear token). There's no point adding the 50 blue PvP set back in if centurion gear is the new starter set. Champion Bags 2) Adjust the champion bag to reward a small but reasonable amount of champion comms, with a chance of a champion token. I don't understand why a champion bag awards centurion comms. It's logically inconsistent and confusing for players, especially because there are no in-game tutorials explaining these systems. Centurion gear should have nothing to do with champion bags. 2a) Add a valor requirement of 50 (or 40) to open champion bags. Battlemaster Bags 3) BM Bags: Increase the amount of champion comms with BM bags, as well as a chance at a BM token. 3a) Tbh, I would prefer scrapping champion comms in BM bags. It would be better to have a BM comm/token system consistent with (1) and (2). Other 4) Let people choose between centurion, champion, or battlemaster bags upon completion of dailys and weeklys. 4a) Consider doubling the amount of centurion bags for completing dailys/weeklys since it's tougher (eg, takes longer) for fresh 50s to complete the objectives than geared 50s. 5) It'd be nice to have a lv30 PvP set for people who want to level through warzones. I've met many of these people on my server. The genie's out of the bottle and there are a lot of people with lots of champion gear now. I think people would feel better if they saw a solution that accomplishes the following two goals: - Make it easier for a fresh 50 to get into a rating 126 + 400 expertise set (possibly available upon hitting 50, which would encourage 10-49 wz participation) - Make the champion gear grind more predictable without lengthening the time it'll take to acquire the set I know there are a lot of options to gear up (HM FPs, heroics), but let's be realistic. Ilum is not fun for anyone, so warzones are the only entertaining timesink available. The goal should be to lessen the cold water shock of getting into 50 warzones, and make the progression into champion and BM gear more predictable (without making it seem like you guys have just doubled or tripled the grind length). TL;DR Commendations and tokens should be consistent with the name of the bag, and champion and BM gear should probably have valor requirements. Since you can't put a valor requirement on champion gear, the bags are the next best choice. We need a centurion bag, not nerfed champion bags.
