2 things:
1st- 1vs1 is not lost cause at all...v been always and will be FOTM classes..but aint player issue..its dev one.
So if some with FOTM class "claim"to be best...just do same and smash him down....
Dont know in your server but in mine i know player who do a toons just "best to be" and only thing which they do receive is mocking all day long
2nd Ppl spend ed a massive amount of time grinding for gear ...should be rewarded..... iv got just 2 toon with ranked + extra mods swapping( you know the math as time consuming) and id love to commit suicide with new "on to go" pvp players.. so if dev s do not make it up to ppl like me........would be cheap.... or might, just might start think about new tier eh?
But im just casual pvp player....my words gravity is equal to 0....im afraid of what iv seen....same apply to majority of pvp community in swtor......Cheers !
