I've read most of this thread, and I can understand why folks of both sides take the point of view they do. I did have a couple questions I'm curious to hear folks thoughts on though. I'll state from the outset that I currently only have 2 BM pieces on my new 50, and only a belt and bracers of the recruit stuff. My reason for that is that the BM boots and gloves I got, I liked the look of. Belt and bracers I notice little to no change on the look of my character. If I could strip the mods off the recurit stuffs and put it on the custom pieces I like the looks of, I would do that. To my knowledge, I cannot do that, so I am waiting until I get the BM pieces which I can strip down. As an aside, I currently play Republic on K. Rift... (can't remember the last warzone, 1-49 included, where we started 8 vs 8... I have however played many 3 vs 8, but that's another matter and another thread) where wait time is often an hour+ and I can count on one hand the number of matches that started after midnight. What I'm curious about is what folks think should be done about people like myself? I should not be allowed to pvp at all until I get at least a full recruit set? If that is the case, I agree with others that it should be flat out given to us (though I'd not be happy given that I like the current look I have and would have to lose it, just to be able to keep playing). Or perhaps a separate queue for folks that don't have at least full recruit? That may work on some servers... I'd hate to see the wait times on mine once a small population is once again split. Like I said, I only have 2 BM peices... yet I kept my stock of wz comms at or near 2000 from lvl 40 on. I wonder at the dev thinking behind restricting the BM item purchase to only those of lvl 50. Only usable by lvl 50's, certainly, but only obtainable at 50? If not for that, I'd have had a full set of BM with the look I wanted once I hit 50.
