Have you taken into account that the ability Smuggle (Infiltrate, agent counterpart) can be used and it requires the smuggler/Agent to be out of combat to use but will cloak party member up to 10 feet of the player that uses it.

Hutball seems to be the only WZ I crash in. It would be nice to be able to get back in before it kicks your from the match.

If there was an AC that had "7 knockbacks, 5 stuns, 6 roots, 4 AE mez's, 2 ST mez's, they do 500k dps/500k heals in one round..." you have a discussion that is worth having. As of right now there is a bunch of hyperbole or a lack of understanding of AC's and your surroundings in a WZ.

The troll is strong with one....

The champ gear system is fine. The system will be improved upon with the changes coming in 1.1 to battlemaster gear. I finally got all my champ gear and I am Valor rank 57 which should give you an idea of how many bags I have opened. Granted I have seen valor rank 30's with just as much gear so some ppl have better luck. If it was a guaranty then how would you feel a sense of accomplishment. Gear is always a grind in any MMO you play so why do you want it to be different here.
