I get rolled by pugs....Who cares. The fun part for me is finally getting that win. It's this great feeling and you KNOW you fought against a worthy opponent, and whatever they say is not going to make an excuse for you. You don't like the challenge? The feeling? Don't say it's not possible bc you can still beat a premade...just stop being a baby and giving up. OP is annoying. Grow up. This isn't burger king, the game is made like this. If you don't like it, quit. What's up with all this crying and QQ on the forums!?!?!?!? It's like everyone wants to be spoiled kids again...oh the shame of this generation...

Oh and from the PTS, bolster is a mess right now. I hope it stays that way and I hope they cant use it at level 55. *crosses fingers*

I don't want to benefit from this system, I want to have to have fun getting wrecked and wrecking. If I benefit from this system, that means the highest tier is....nothing to shoot for. You say it's a game not work. I guess in Skyrim no one had to put in the time to get to max level. I don't understand, it's a game when it levels and such. If you don't like work, then I bet you never do dailies, b/c thats surely WORK!!!!! Ridiculous, you pick and choose in a game what is work and what is not. Getting rolled while earning your gear is work? Dont play it. Please quit...please for my sake unsub. Im becoming annoyed at people thinking it's an awesome idea b/c simply they are too lazy and dont pay thier dues. I could yell all day that no one starts out as a general, but as a recruit, and no one cares. They want to be insta god mode. GROW UP And if you don't like it UNSUB or dont PvP. Not like we cant find people to PvP anyways, the real soldiers of the game. The ppl who put in the time and effort.

I understand that it takes time to do the things you love. So you want to Raid...awesome..really happy for you! Go raid and put in the time and get the gear. Oh now you wanna do some PvP too? Go out on the battlefield and earn your due. You'll get rolled at first. But you know what, maybe that separates the good from the bad. You put in the time and get the gear. People argue that "OMG im so bored I maxed out blah blah blah" Well then...stop asking for smaller gear differentials in PvP and work and put in TIME to get gear. You'll play the game longer and stop complaining about end game content. PLUS you'll become a master PvP'er and welcome death and destruction. I love death and destruction..Did I mention I love death and destruction...k just checking

Oh yeah, in my bloodlust I forgot to address the OP post. Ummm smaller gear gap stinks. Make em work for it like I did. k bye

Silly - the gear, as it exists, makes skill unnecessary. Unless you're a complete failure, which is unlikely as you'd be too demoralized at that point to get the gear. So, to clarify, you want to use skill to earn gear that in turn makes skill unnecessary? PvP isn't about being able to knock everything over with minimal effort or skill. That's PvE, my friend*. The point of PvP is to go against other players, that are responsive and smarter than NPC ai (hopefully...sometimes...). It's about the challenge of defeating someone who can counter your actions. Outsmarting them, employing tactics to outmaneuver them. What's the fun in facerolling everything? It gets old, fast (we lose PvE players for the same reason). Plus, this means with all of that skill you honed, you'll have more fresh meat to grind. This, because while they will receive the bolster, they still won't be as effective as someone with top tier gear. Meaning, if they beat you, you should probably be ashamed. I honestly have gotten steamrolled at the early stages, but I paid my dues, and earned my gear the good old fashioned way. When you finally get that kill on that WH geared smash monkey and your in half Battlemaster (at the time the grind was harder than right now) it feels GREAT! What a sense of accomplishment. Ha I beat you, you better geared fool, and now wait until I get gear! This feeling will go away. To people who quit PvP because they can't take a beating, please, don't PvP. I hate complainer's and quitters in Warzones. People ask me "Why are you still attacking the node, we lost?" I say "Never Give UP!!!!!" War is War, not meant for lazy people who want things given to them on a silver platter. Woe is this PvP community when PvE'ers get involved. I LOVE PvP against EWH geared players because I LOVE challenges. Sure, pugs are sad, but you know what, they are earning their due. Come into the higher echelon of people who've taken a beating to get where they are now, and when you stand on their head and spit at their corpse, you can laugh and feel a sense of pride and accomplishment, for not being a pansy and complaining and quitting. I welcome YOU regular PvP community, not the new PvE community integrating into PvP!!!! You never start out in the service as a general, you start as a recruit!!!!!! EARN IT!!!

This is my first post since being subbed for over a year, and have not felt passionate enough to comment on anything that anyone has posted on the forums to date....until now. From my understanding of all this, PvP gear is still BiS for PvP, but only MARGINALLY. I think some more explanation is needed because I am utterly confused. It seems that to counter expertise, the dev's are using other stats, mainly endurance (Check Rob's post). What am I going to work for? Are you telling me that EWH is how gear is going to be from now on? +1 stat to this, +3 here. ***. I don't like trading minimal stat gains for expertise. I want to WORK my butt off in warzones and EARN my AWESOME gear that puts me in the ELITE category. And being ELITE, I want to roll over a newcomer that just beat the hardest operation in the game. That is PvP!!!!! Oh you want it to be about skill? Do the WORK and get the GEAR, and then lets do the skill game. You can't get the SKILLS without the WORK. Stop giving people that don't put in the WORK a crutch to use to be viable in PvP. Dont be lazy people....and give me my amazing stat increases on my PvP gear!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
