its GROUP content if you are able to solo it, something is very very very wrong

the game was at its peak when said practice existed, the most successful MMO's have that practive if the gearing in 6.0 was a success they would have kept it

you sould not be able to 3 man a MM FP if thats the reason u want BiS gear thats not a good reason, you can currently solo MM fps how is that a good thing?

you have yet to explain what the unfair advantage is

again, pvp will be capped and 330 gear isnt modded so by saying "every1 will have access to modded gear" they are implying every1 will have access to at least 334 gear doubt they will gatekeep the last 2 IR

deserve/need/should are 3 completely different words all i said is u dont need it, no1 will need the gear not every1 can get what they want as well, i want pvp cosmetics but i dont wanna play pvp, that doesnt entitle me to another way to earn them on multiple of my post i mentioned no1 will need the gear, not just solo players, but its a common law in MMORPGs that harder content gives higher rating gear, SWTOR giving a way for solo players to get BiS gear even if at a later date is good

if they do the similar thing to stacks then yes raiders with 330 will have slightly better stats than 326 but the difference wont be significant when i started playing the expansion with 270 gear from onderon i was able to one shot standards mobs with vengeful slam, honestly has nothing to do with skill just awful balance making most solo content boring and uneventful

334 is only available on vet R4 not on any NiM content "Max new gear ratings (7.0 gear upgrade caps): 326: This can be obtained by doing anything in game (Conquests). 322: Story Mode Legacy Operations 326: Veteran Mode Legacy Operations 330: Master Mode Legacy Operations" "Is the only way we can get moddable gear is if we can clear VM 80 OP? Is there no more min/maxing for players who can't clear the hardest content in game? No. Over time, as upgrade ceilings raise with new game updates, moddable gear will be accessible to all players. At 7.0’s launch there will be no moddable gear awarded above level 306" meaning moddable gear will only be 334 and 336 "Can I acquire mats to max gear and mods without having to do grouped content? Over time, as more patches are released in the expansion, you will be able to upgrade your gear more and more, including unlocking the moddable gear vendor." why would casual players leave just because they cant get the last 4 IR? they are casual players gear should be the last of their worrys

pvp was never capped its only gonna be capped in 7.0 so u have no idea how it will work "PvP will have a stat floor and ceiling, so players with higher levels of gear will have their gear reduced to the stat ceiling (326). GSF will be awarded akin to the PvP upgrade loop."

SWTOR is one of the only MMORPGs that allows max gear in any path, others you have to complete specific bosses or specific raids to get a specific BiS peace that only drops for said boss or raid meanwhile on SWTOR "In the 7.0 release, it is only possible to upgrade to level 330 via Master Mode Operations. Over time, all other game modes will be able to upgrade to level 330 as the ceiling is raised, so essentially, gear progression is built into all modes" you have one of the most friendly gearing system for solo players even if 330 was the max rating and solo path only had 326

why should it not? u are playing an MMORPG and again every1 will have access to the same gear eventualy from the 8 MMORPG's i have played even with 7.0 SWTOR is the only game that allows solo players access to BiS gear

cause no1 has access to it on launch

PVP will be capped so getting 330 gear for pvp wont work u will be able to get the tertiary stats u want " What is the PvP experience like with these changes? PvP will have a stat floor and ceiling, so players with higher levels of gear will have their gear reduced to the stat ceiling (326). GSF will be awarded akin to the PvP upgrade loop." "PvP Gear and Accuracy clarification. Thyrsian armor, acquired by participating in PvP, will not contain any accuracy Thyrsian offhands will come in two stat distributions, one with accuracy and one without. Players will be able to choose which version of offhand they desire, or collect both." i also never said "get a new guild" i just said joining a raid team is the best way to get introduced to MM ops , raiding team has nothing to do with guilds, again they wont lock you outside of MM ops if you dont have 330 gear since 330 gear is only available in MM ops

you are, but you have to play the game for the content u need to level up to max level to unlock the content etc cartel market gear is cosmetic makes 0 difference

that argument can be flipped to say that every1 not wanting this change should be embarassed by not being able to clear the highest difficulty content in the game. Raiders having better gear wont give them any advantage anywhere, pvp will be capped, and level sync will still exist, the only content where better gear will help is in pve grouped content, if you have some1 in your team which higher rating it just makes the content easier and said advantage goes to the entire group

i felt no difference in level synced planets from having 270 gear or 306 gear, since even in 270 gear most mobs got 1 shotted, there hasnt been any talks about changing level sync so you will still just 1 shot everything but gold mobs

no1 would boot you from SM ops if you dont have 330 gear(same way no1 kicks you from a SM ops currently if you have 270 gear, hell u can even do it at lv 70, maybe a minority will kick you), not only is 322 gear what drops from SM but SM ops are balanced to 318, obv if some1 is pugging a harder raid and they dont want to prog it they will ask for the achievment so that they have a low chance of wiping, this is where raid teams come in where u can join and progress trough the content together

there is already an explanation, its confirmed 330 gear isnt modded and that modded gear will be available to every1 so every1 will have access to at least 334 gear and i doubt they will gatekeep the last 2 IR "so essentially, gear progression is built into all modes."

you arent entitled to anything in the game just by paying for the sub, you have to play the game, paying for sub doesnt mean u should be given every single cosmetic, unique mount, or gear in a silver platter, u need to play the game, and every1 will eventually have access to the same gear(which will basically just be cosmetic)

"Is the only way we can get moddable gear is if we can clear VM 80 OP? Is there no more min/maxing for players who can't clear the hardest content in game? No. Over time, as upgrade ceilings raise with new game updates, moddable gear will be accessible to all players" lets say that vet R4 that drops 334 gear will be modded that would still mean u would get 334 gear by doing solo content if they go as far as giving you 334 i doubt they wont give you 336

every1 can still get BiS gear in 7.0

i have even told myself that i dont need the gear, if you would read the posts and as i said on multiple comments as well when expertise gear existed you NEEDED to have expertise gear to compete in pvp, when 224 gear was the highest gear u had u NEEDED 224 gear for the hardest NiM bosses if you dont want to bring up IRL thats fine, if every1 got what they wanted from swtor, swtor would be chaos. ""Disagreeing with my stance that only the people I deem worthy should have the best gear in a video game would lead to the world around us devolving into chaos!" this is your view not mine, never said that any1 was worthy of anything just that not every1 gets what they want, i want the cosmetics from pvp but i dont wanna play pvp, that doesnt entitle me to a way to have said cosmetics outside of pvp

yet it is on the same line that i mentioned "Is the only way we can get moddable gear is if we can clear VM 80 OP? Is there no more min/maxing for players who can't clear the hardest content in game? No. Over time, as upgrade ceilings raise with new game updates, moddable gear will be accessible to all players. At 7.0’s launch there will be no moddable gear awarded above level 306" "moddable gear will be accessible to all players" moddable gear is 336 gear only(BiS gear)

i never tried to persuade any1 that their way of playing the game is wrong or right, u dont need to be pushed to the corner of ops as well , having higher than 318 gear will be a matter of want, if every1 got whatever they wanted the world would be chaos

he was in fact misrepresenting by not mentioning the fact that person#1 felt entitled by paying for sub i dont belive myself to be more "elite" than other players no1 deserves anything just by playing the game , i never determined what gear ppl wanted to have, just what they needed, if every1 would have access to everything they wanted, the world would be chaos supporting a change that supports my favourite content isnt elitism or entitlement if that were true every1 that supported 6.0 gearing system is the same
