"When you first hit 50": it was first week of game launch
"When you first hit 50": i had 18k health for I used the money earned from quests to buy level 22 at that time armorings from GTN
"When you first hit 50": i wasnt a tool to Q for WZs with unmodded shells as my gear pieces and only have 5000 health or only use one weapon in dualwielders class. Its super hard to go to mailbox to collect full set of Tionesse and full set of recruit gear, which to this day none of you deserve as people spent hours farming Tionesse or Champion gear and you just get it free - but hey ITS *********** difficult to use mailbox - game is too hard. Just like World of Warcraft - let's remove talent trees.
Just like Razbot said " Unless some massive change or REAL class balance (see: Merc Healers not ****/ can use all classes in rateds comps interchangeably)" I have nothing to add, and I said that in my unsubscribe comments. Bioware needs to learn from EVE-Online developers that when you do have a small community MMO you play the game yourself and you address the issues players have to keep them playing. Why do you think there are no "0-50 in one night" weekends there - could you *********** imagine if every noob was flying Titans day one? PvP aspect sucks cause certain classes are not getting love for the past year and a half, and even some good guys like Cilas are generating some world PvP on this server, which shouldn't even be necessary for him to do, game developers should come up for reasons to add that. and not to beat the dead horse playing with people in WZs knowing nothing about PVP or blatantly about the game and the fact that theres a mailbox full of gear just waiting to be picked up: THAT is not the crowd I wanna PvP with. And don't start with rateds - been there - done that and the rest of 0.00001 % SWTOR population to even try to do them.
Not telling anybody what to do, this is my opinion solely and my choice, you continue playing what you want and how you want.
