I have not experienced or seen anything to make me believe it is not working as intended

The gear is the mods not the exterior.

I think it is because most pvers have no real end game because most people find raiding boring. We see more and more pvers coming over to controlled pvp as their endgame. While I am glad to see more people learning the superior enjoyment you get in pvp over pve I can do without the calls to turn pvp into pve. Gear progression exists in end game pve because players would stop after they did all encounters once or twice. Pvp provides a unique experience every time. It does need to bribe players to participate.

That is why afkers don't bother me much in pvp except the ruin individual warzones. Bad players getting gear who don't ever pvp are not magically going to be below the bottom of the barrel. But the changes will limit their rewards to almost nothing. It is pretty clear the op is trolling all this about crafted gear. They will fix it and until then you can get the gear and move the mods. His complaint is absurd. He asks why he should pvp just for looks and then cries he can't look the way he wants because of crafted gear. He is just trolling. The mods and enhancements are the rewards, the shells are designed so you can wear what you want. That is the whole point. If there is a time where people wear crafted gear because of augment slots who cares. The op said he doesn't care about looks. These are non problems. The op says I don't card about looks but how come I can't look the way I want. He needs a thwack to to the ear.

Well there you go... Ranked warzones provide competive gameplay where you play people on your level. I still can't take anyone seriously talking about pvp when they don't instinctively want win first and foremost. That is not something you learn or acquire.

That is clear. Anyone who wants a gear advantage in a competive sport is not in it for the ego. Why do you pvp if you don't want to win and beat the other side?

In your case no because you don't seem to understand pvp and your ego would just be crushed. Anyone who asks why ranked warzones with no stat increases is a pver hiding in pvp. The point is obvious and clear, to win.

The problem is that is not true.

Haha that is what I end up doing when inevitably I am guarding one side alone. Other side should be clear to most of them.

Uh no. If I bring up the main map it is backwards from normal directions. East is to the left. So not sure what you are talking about. If you think it is normal for east to be left on a map you have a concussion.

To me left/right is the easiest as well but apparently some people lose orientation with the spawn point. To me left and right should always mean relative to spawn and works fine on all maps.

Problem is for imperials left is east and right is west. This is confusing as most people don't look at maps upside down so they are used to orienting left with west and right with east. The fact that the Imp map faces south is confusing.

By the way people are confusing the new world order of gear. The mods you get from warlord or whatever will be bis. I do think adding an augment slot will balance things out but people act like getting this gear will be pointless which is 100% not true as you will take the mods and move them. That is the point in the first place. Not being able to have a single look is only a very minor issue.

Takes one to know one BURN

You promise?

I thought about it too but it just becomes a walk/run toggle and I am fine with it.

Since many changes impacting how many comms you get in warzones have taken place it is worthless to compare your current live rate of acquisition with test server costs.

Expertise has dr now. They will be reduced so higher expertise will have a much bigger impact.

I am positive your definition of a good pvper differs from actual good pvpers.

I wish one of you nuggets would read and understand the patch notes in total. The op's assertions are baseless at this point.

Please post up some screenshots of the new top rated gear you got from test and also post up some comparable crafted gear. Get as much info off the test server and come back and share, thanks!

I thought you pvped for valor. You don't like pvp?

So the players who cry about class balancing are the good ones? Reality would like a word with you...

People who purposefully choose fotm classes do so to compensate for skill deficiencies. I will avoid playing a class if I know it is over powered although it can evolve into that if I don't check.

This is my tech on it. There were a couple class specs that allowed bad players play above their head. Average and good players will adapt. These bad players relying on this dumbed downed builds will either improve or just settle back at the true low level. Anyone who looks at the changes being made in 1.2 and don't think pvp is being greatly improved is not someone who understands gameplay or pvp in the first place. Not to mention with huge under the hood changes being made, complaining without testing just makes them look silly.
