Sir Killalott , we are doing our best . Sometimes our best is enough other times it isn't. All in all, I love my GSs hat and I'd be a happy kitten if BW deals with the few frustrating bugs that plagues the class.

Now that's how you TROLL at a professional level. Good job, sir!

TROLOLOLOLOL !!! Hear that, OVERPOWERED. In any 1VS1 a GS (sharpshooter spec) has to have all CCs out of CD to hope for a win (all other things being equal - like gear and level). No chance in 1vs2 (which is normal IMHO), not even to escape. For the record, I don't think is UP just a bit bugged at its core feature - cover. Yeah, leave a GS unchecked on the field and you'll get padded with blaster bolts but if you put some hurt on him and make him lose a few GCDs on defensive actions then his rotation loses synergy and a lot of DPS. If BW manages to eradicate the bugs that pests GSs the class will be just fine in the right hands. P.S. I don't know if inability to drop into cover when rooted is working as intended but it's the doom of the sharpshooter GS if his opponent has a clue.

+1. Give a debuff to people that leave intentionally during a match. 30 minutes CD on joining war-zones should be enough. Also let people know what type of war-zone they are about to enter on the 1 minute pop-up that announces the match so the players can leave the queue w/o penalty before actually joining a match they don't like. AFKers should get a 2 days CD on joining war-zones (or one week ban for the maggots ).

This shouldn't be an issue if people would stop quitting so often

Through and true Psilos! Yes people, is a game, you should do it for entertainment. Agreed that I get annoyed sometimes when getting rolled in WZs but I try to chat and get the team rally (granted it works 10% of the times). If you play just for the daylies you should consider doing something else with your time (no offense). And I think that any other type of punishment besides a CD on joining WZ's would be unfair to people that really have better or more urgent business to attend to. Im only trying to figure a way to stop people that abuse the leave button ruining my game, that's all.

Something needs to be done about the pandemic of people leaving at first sign of trouble for their team. It's getting annoying beyond any reasonable degree. Since I'm aware that this is a game and RL must take precedence and nobody wants to punish people just for doing what they should (AKA tending the RL problems) best way to assure that nobody is exploiting that excuse is to give them a 30 minutes CD in joining another war-zone so they have time to fix those RL issues. To those people that leave just because they think their team sucks, well, you suck more so MTFU and stay. You could learn more from defeat then from any easy victory. “Being defeated is often a temporary condition. Giving up is what makes it permanent.”

So, what you OPS and scoundrels want is: have burst damage, some sustained DPS and the ability to tank for a while. Ah and let's not forget some stealth ability. You could also be requesting for a ******, a fork and a ping pong table so the list could be complete. Better yet ask for virtual Chuck Norris while you are at it Seriously now, I know I have some L2P to do since I'm just lvl 44 on my slinger but if you think Ops/scoundrels need a buff you are either delusional or are worse at this game then yours truly. From personal experience I lose 3 out of 4 encounters with those classes and not necessarily when they are at higher level (yeah I know I'm a nOOb/not geared and all that s***).

I play a GS sniper tree which is currently lvl 44 valor 25. It's a very tricky to play class that has good sustained DPS but has problems with keeping LOS and range. If I get support and with careful positioning I can really put the hurt on the OPFOR but if I get swarmed it's game over. I'm still L2P the class so I'm no expert but going 1v1 with a scoundrel that ambushes me I'm toast. If I have all my snares and mazes out of CD i stand a chance but that's rarely the case so ...... The CD on flash bang is too long IMHO (60 seconds) the defensive shield protects only the front side and if you are out of cover ... well ... is bad. It's a fun to play class with a cool head but if you get annoyed, frustrated and lose patience you get on a slippery slope of hurt. It's also highly dependable on how your team plays and it sucks socks in hut ball due to fast pace of the game and of the many ways to break LOS the enemy has. Play Scoundrel for PvP .

http://www.hark.com/clips/pkmnbbfdhz-buzz-wrong I'm Gunslinger, so it's more like 7 per DPS rotation and 5-6 more if I need to defend myself.

Didn't read through all the 66 pages, but I read enough to get a good grasp of the discussion so here are my 2 cents. I don't want MACROS in SWTOR. Why? Simply because player's contribution (as a keyboard basher ) will be diminished and avatar's level and in game skill will be augmented in any PvP fight. Lowbies will have an even worse chance of beating higher level adversaries. And this comes from a horrible multitask-er that I am . I'm working to improve that and when, after a lot of practice, I'll be better don't want MACRO users just mock my hard work by hitting 1,2,3. Games as entertainment require input and interaction from the player and getting better at that is just part of the fun for me. I understand that some people get their fun from crunching better numbers and they want perfect (computer like) execution of a combo to achieve that but..... not my thing. Bottom line, I vote "NO" to MACROS. Don't bash me just out-vote me. @Green-T. In my opinion, mashing one button instead of 4-5 when fighting MOBS in PvE will be even more boring. I use silver and gold Mobs to practice my rotations in order to get better timing.

Everyone that is using "L2P" in their posts should have interdiction to post a reply again for a week. I mean if your brain can't come with a PRO or CON argument to what ever the OP is saying then you should STHU. One has to dig to a tremendous amount of L2Ps just to get to some content around here. I enjoy Huttball as it is now but that doesn't mean it is perfect. If you consider what OP is saying he has a perfect valid point there. In the current state of the rules, 2-3 classes have the ability to move the ball around by themselves much more easier then the rest. If both teams are getting a equal numbers of those classes in their composition then the game is balanced if not.... There is nothing wrong with having to pass more instead of just avoiding entire enemy defense by sheer speed or jump. That way gunslingers/snipers will get a job like killing the ball handler while the faster guys will engage the front runners to prevent a pass. And for the record, I don't know the OP but he brought a suggestion w/o whining or complaining and some of you lot just labeled him as being a newbie and attacked him instead of the matter he raised. NICE WORK COMMUNITY I APPLAUD YOU.

Damn, 28 pages of drama-lama. Now, since I'm a lowbie and never been on Iluminaty or w/e is called I'll give you my two cents of unbiased opinion. The OP is right. Punishing people for doing PvP is the wrong way to go. Obviously there was a design flaw that may, or may not, qualify as an exploit. Exploit is such an equivocal term that it's a free ticket out of trouble for every game designer that screws up. Instead of flaming each other the player base should all be upset with BW (and its designers) for allowing this happen. Those involved (on both sides) should expect an apology from BW and changes, in the future, so this situation does not repeat. I can understand how frustrating it is to be farmed w/o any chance of escaping but hatred against those who organized themselves for beating the odds is misplaced. If you want a competitive game you don't want those type of "outside the box" thinkers out of the game. Their presence may improve the game as a whole. P.S. BW may be the gods/creators of this virtual world but they might not be the smartest sentient beings around .
