There is no need to expect different. Bioware made it pretty clear with the idiotic RNG and PvP gear decisions that they don't really give a flying f____ about PvP. I don't know that they really every have but at least they used to pretend to care. The number of responses to actual feedback in the threads (excluding your usual QQ threads) is 1/100000000000000000000000000000

You are 100% correct, in fact one only needs to look at the posts in the PvP section that have an actual @bioware response. I think it's about 1/1000. Then they come back later and apologize for the lack of communication. Funny thing is some people actually believe that bioware cares about the PvP community.

"It will be fixed soon." Translation: "we are not losing any money over it so it will most likely be fixed sometime between 5.1.1 and 7.0."

I'm more surprised it took 5 games . The devs in this game clearly have no regard for PvP whatsoever. Many ignorant people will argue different but you need only look at the facts. My sub ends in 5 days and I can give a flying _____ about this 2xp bs they just implemented in order to encourage people to level alts but at the same time with the asinine RNG system in place, alts are a waste. Especially from a PvP standpoint. I don't think even after all the transfers to Harbringer I have seen it reach standard population except for maybe an hour or so. PvP queues have gotten longer since the new bolster bullsh*t in 5.1 (at level 70). If this was truly a free to play game I might hop on once in a while for kicks and giggles, but it is definitely not worth 15/mo. Bioware has long abandoned the PvP community, refusing to listen feedback.

THIS^^^. Theoretically, what you're saying, Eric, is that if I'm at an equal skill level as someone, but that someone had better LUCK in their RNG boxes, I'm at a disadvantage. This was intended? This is by far the most asinine PVP system developed by BW since launch. Even way back when you had a long grind at least it wasn't based off a luck RNG roll. This complete and utter disrespect to the PVP community.

I agree. This was not a fix, it wasn't even a band-aid on a fix. This is adding to the complexity of an already arduous grinding system reliant on RNG. At the rate RNG seems to work I'll be grinding for season 8 gear while season 17 is ending. Can we get an answer from a dev as to what @Bioware plans on doing about this failed attempt to fix the grind on alts??

It this right here^. Since launch it's been this way and BW can't fix it because it's not lag in the server sense, but the pathetic Hero engine. I remember when ops/scoundrels got the roll, so many people were reporting "hacking" when they would roll and "lag out." As much as I like to swear at the players who score the goal it's really BW's garbage engine the game is run on.

I too came back after a long hiatus and found the same problem except not until level70. As someone pointed due to everyone transferring to TRE or Harbringer, since BW is too lazy to merge servers, imps seem to dominate in terms of numbers and often in win percentage. Your only option IMO is to make imp toons or hope and pray that a couple large guilds get bored with the imbalance and switch to pub side (not likely).

This made me laugh so hard. Sadly, because it's true. I've tried to explain to people that PvP can't be taken too seriously in this game anymore, unfortunately. I concur with what most people are saying, just jump into solo ranked, if anyone rages at you they clearly haven't gotten the memo. In my humble opinion, and to lessen the ire, do what makes you happy and you'll be just fine

Wow, I'm befuddled at your lack of comprehension. Maybe my vernacular is out of your depths, or you just refuse to accept that your "frustration" does not give you the right to attempt to make people feel stupid, and you superior. I'll just leave it at the fact that you are living proof ignorance is bliss, especially if you think you are actually "helping" people by calling them idiots because they have different view point.

I'm not disputing her reputation or the amount she contributes to the community. I'm stating that, the aforementioned comment was utterly rude, and without just cause. If she is tired of explaining herself, then just don't answer, keep your rude comments to yourself. I don't care how much you give to the community, it does not bestow upon you a right to belittle and inundate the forums with nonsensical berating.

You have to be the most crass, asinine, self-indulgent person on these forums. All you do is belittle everyone, as if it pangs you that EVERYONE is so below your level of intelligence. Man you are one crude rude ignoramus. You sit on this delusional high horse that no one gives a flying ____ about and think that we should all succumb to your superiority. You are the very definition of a narcissist.

Completely and unnecessarily rude. The OP is clearly not asking for a handout, he/she just wants to be informed and you would insult that person with no just cause? At the same time, you are probably one of the people constantly complaining that people are not gearing properly in WZs and Arenas. All anger should be directed at BW's failure to implement a proper gearing system, which has been an issue since launch. Yet you chose to lash out at the people actually trying to make the best of a bad circumstance? People like you make PvP unpleasant and deter present and future players

While I agree 100% I'm not certain if everyone realized it or not but the price to transfer got dropped to only 90 cartel coins. It is most certainly not fair in the least but I believe it's BW's way of saying if you want to be on a populated server, do it yourself. They most likely have no intention of merging servers, which as someone pointed should have been done when instances were created. Even more so after you had the option to switch from PvE to PvP freely, which essentially made being on a PvP server somewhat pointless. There really should only be 2 US servers, one west coast and one east. I would love for this merger to happen but as they dropped the price of a transfer so low, I'm assuming they will NEVER spend the money to do so, and quite frankly their sorry dev team has way too many matters that need attention at the moment. I couldn't take the long queues on Bastion so sucked it up and transferred. In all honesty the death of this game has been a long time coming from since the beginning, when they let servers die before realizing, "oh crap, we are losing subs because there is no cross server play and servers are dead." Let's merge now that we've lost half our customers.

Yes I am aware there are other ways to earn XP, I was speaking purely of the main story line. Thanks for the response though
