you did basically the same. tbh, what're you complaining about? i could just as easily complain in the same manner about your performance.

naw, i misunderstood. i thought they were complaining about not being able to get them due to refusal to play group content. i didn't know they stated it like that, if they didn't clarify which type of gear was needed then they should have done so.

because min/maxing. even if someone who is being bolstered up to 328 because they have sub 328 gear, or someone is being squished down to 328 because they have 330 or 340 gear, their gear will still be inferior to someone who has a perfectly optimized (min/maxed) 328 set. obtaining the optimal amount of alacrity, accuracy, and crit, as well as maximizing your stats is key to gearing. this is a moot suggestion because of what i already stated above. besides that fact, it's absolutely imperative that people be able to gear via different content. pvp especially, being the most skill based. i do however agree that it would be better if there weren't different sets though. they should have left it as it was in 6.x we could all get the same gear (306). which is why i suggested that 328 right now should be max ilvl. what are you talking about? there is no stat based "cheating" to speak of, that i am aware of. if you think min/maxing and having optimal gear for pvp is cheating i would like to refer you to single player offline games.

absolutely not, max pvp gear in 7.0 was 326 which means gear below 326 was bolstered up to, and gear above 326 was bolstered down to. now with max ilvl for pvp being 328 in 7.1 the same is the case; everything being bolstered up to or down to 328.

they stated it ("all") as such because that's exactly the case. ALL players indeed can get those mods. if you're strictly playing solo and won't do group content that doesn't mean that you can't or won't have access to the same opportunity as everyone else to acquire them, because you do possess that same opportunity, you're just refusing to do it. which is fine, but don't pretend you can't or don't have the same opportunity as everyone else, because you do. logic says; if you want it then do it. if you don't, then don't, and tough tatas.

that's not even remotely what i said. i was referring to the dude who was complaining about a previous poster' statement and perceived it as an attack on anyone who doesn't like the current gearing system. ofc, i did so because the person he was responding to did no such thing in the first.

don't try to claim you're some sort of victim, it's detestable. besides, he did no such thing. he simply stated a fact, and he's correct. at least about MMOs being made to play for extended periods of time. anyway, it doesn't take even a week to get fully geared. hell, especially not if you only pvp, it took me all of 30 seconds to fully upgrade all my gear to full 328 since i was already maxed out on everything. what is completely ridiculous is that there is higher tiered gear for pve than pvp at all. tbh, 328 should be the maximum ilvl, either that or pvp gear should be obtainable up to 340. the content that requires the most skill should have the highest ilvl gear, and i don't care what anyone thinks. pvp requiring more skill than nim raiding is not an opinion, it's an irrefutable fact, as it is in every mmo ever.

lmfao, try more like 6 minimum. more realistically; 9+ months

pve is for single player offline games anyway. there is no logical purpose for anything above 328.

i have over 12k power now as well and i had over 10k before the patch. all 300 augs working.

it shouldn't be superior to 328, if it is it's bugged again. same thing with implants, anything above 328 should not be superior to 328. i don't have any 328+ gear though, so will have to wait for someone to verify to make sure.

technically i think you're mainly not supposed to use names of IRL people, i.e. celebrities and/or political figures, etc. but if it's preventing you from naming your characters after fictional characters too then they must be doing it for a reason. probably due to TOS and/or IP issues. tbh, it's not a big deal. just name your character whatever you want that it will let you. if your name turns out to be unacceptable or inappropriate then they'll force rename it and you can simply name it something else.

apparently not, because they are preventing you from using them. tbh, they should just delete all of them and get the crap out of the game.

so you completely misunderstand that PvP is PvP and not PvE? k, got it.
